There are people that use Bitcoin mixer to cover the origin of there Bitcoins with a veil.

I will never make this, because this would make my BTC suspect. And there is a risk to make my BTC's dirty.

But here is my technical question:
When we change our BTC into another crypto and after change them back into BTC, I guess in this case it would no more be possible to trace back the origin of the  origin BTC.
Am I right? Or do I miss anything?
Of course if we make the change on a CEX, it would be possible to trace back the origin, because the CEX will have a history-protocol. But I guess not, when we make this via DEX.


If I am right: Why do people use BTC mixer? Isn't changing BTC into another crypto and change them back, not the much better solution to cut off the trace?

Would appreciate a competent answer. Thank you.

Then it would depend on the DeX you're using. DEX's are not always anonymous as well. If the DeX operates on a .com domain, your ISP still can track your activity and then you won't really be anonymous. Also the DeX you are using might collect/log your data without letting you know.

When you are on the internet it is pretty damn hard to stay anonymous. If you do some shady shit and the government decides to learn who you are, they will succeed it I can guarantee that.
