you still have a bitcoin address thats static and so it could technically be linked to you.

Is this a True ?
Its true, in a way, that if you link your name to address its no longer private. Its big bitcoin flaw currently because i dont think many people want to other people know theirs all buying history. If they using one address for long it will always be privacy nightmare if linked of course to private data.
Bitcoin developers working on privacy features now.
