In order for Bitcoin to stay legitimate (legal) it will have to become less anonymous.

dumbest thing i have heard, the whole premise of btc is to stay anonymous. whats the point of having btc.


you must not realize each transaction is recorded in a public file and that bitcoin is kind of the opposite of anonymous.

Transactions between addresses are recorded, but there are no names associated with wallet addresses are there?  And its incredibly easy to change / create new addresses right?  I understand every transaction is public record, but I thought the afore mentioned things is what made it anonymous.  I'm pretty new to bit coin so please correct me if I'm wrong.  And if its not anonymous, why does the silk road / dark web use it?
