I see some people talk about mixing bitcoins...why dont people just swap bitcoin? EG, Say I have 10BTC and I'll swap one of mine, for one of yours. I give you a wallet address to pay, you pay it, and provide a new address for your coin, which I then pay with one of mine.
Is that not a good way to make your bitcoins a little harder to track?

Why will I ever want to swap my bitcoin with anyone, what will it profit me since we would send to each other the same price, I don't think that is a very good idea

You dont make profit with mixing either.Mixing is done to keep coins untraceable.
Swapping is risky as you act on the trust of other party.Mixer usually use mult-addresses to mix coins making it harder to trace.Bitcoin swapping,on the other hand,is exchange of coins between two addresses that doesn't makes it untraceable
