Bitcoin is not anonymous some effort is required to protect your privacy with Bitcoin.The user behind the address is not revealed until the information goes out during a purchase or other

Then you're (Bitcoin) anonymous by just using your statement. It will be an effort to decode who you are, then you're privacy isn't at stake. Your address will definitely be reflected on the chain, once you traded and no it will still be revealed who you are by just the address. Not unless you publicly posted your Wallet address or you are too careless not to secure your assets. So yeah, despite how many trades you are into or purchases you made as long as you keep your tracks clean then there's nothing to worry about your anonymity.

After your wallet address is linked to an exchange, is not anonymous anymore, take the fake hitman 'redandwhite' from the silkroad. He held his bitcoin for many years before trying to cash out, before promptly being arrested because his name was linked to exchange he was trying to cash out at.

Bitcoin can be anonymous up to a point right? Since from the beginning all you're given are a couple of hashes acting as your private address. All that level of anonymity goes out the window the moment your wallet gets associated with a place which is KYC-ed, an exchange is a perfect example of this (as above).

In any way, this anonymity only runs to the point that your identity may not yet be linked to the address but of course all TX-es can be seen at any one time.
