Ok, so my girlfriend has recently asked me why I have been online for a while, and told her about the forum and why I invest my time and money into bitcoin/cryptos and it's forum. She had a list of questions for me which I couldn't seem to give her the best answer to and found myself stumbling to come up with a short and direct answer. She has asked the questions below and I would like to get an answer for each so I could tell her in a very easy way for me and her to understand. I reworded her questions into away in which it would make the most sense.

1) How do people think that bitcoin is actually anonymous? You would have to buy them with your debit card/credit card in which banks have your information... why would you think that this stuff is actually anonymous and could be used in such a way?

I found myself trying to sell her on why this form of currency is important and why it should be used. But I couldn't find a reason why it is important without getting to sketchy businesses that need a sort of anonymous payment; like darknet sites. Any simple explanations would be of real help, and she'll probably have more questions for you guys in the long run... we've been drinking and I'm trying to introduce her into the world of crypto which I have just been introduced to myself...

Thanks.

1) Sure, that part isnt anonymous, but transacting bitcoin to bitcoin is anonymous, as it only provides the bitcoin adress.
