#22Bitcoin is not anonymous.
It's close to being anonymous though. If I give you a random bitcoin address, what are the odds you can identify the owner of it? It's very close to zero.
Re: ProtonMail Now Supports Bitcoin Payments
#23Is this only for payments to Protonmail itself, or for transferring payments among accounts?
It would be great if there were an easy way for businesses to sign up and immediately get the ability to receive Bitcoin payments.

And just how are you going to do a dollar bitcoin exchange without revealing any information about your identity?
Bitcoin mixers would serve you well in this instance. Just buy BTC normally and clean via a mixer.
And how do you know that that the Bitcoin mixer you decided to use is not actually operated by the FBI and that they are actually keeping a private log tying bitcoins in with bitcoins out?

Had similar questions yesterday and some hackers responded here:

Stores have cameras and Visa cards have unique numbers. Not too hard to put the two together. Bitcoin let's you transact without having to interact in physical space to acquire or spend them.

You don't have to trade for dollars. You can use one or more intermediaries such as gift cards and high resale value goods, just like using proxies to distance yourself. The more hops, the harder it is to connect.

If you're very concerned, you could use a high speed/volume BitCoin Mixer[1]. For example, if it currently has sufficient volume, something on the Darknet like BitBlender[2][3]. There are a number of different mixers out there. You could also, of course, wash the BitCoins by hand yourself.

#28This is a little bit "late". Fastmail has supported Bitcoin payment for a very long time. In fact, I was surprised last year when I wanted to try proton mail and they didn't have Bitcoin payments.
So you couldn't just use a CC or some other form of payment? Seriously?

The transactions may be public, but your identity can be masked if done properly.
If you want to mask your identity wouldn't you be better off buying Visa gift cards with cash at a major store and then using them to purchase services online?
Or using a coin designed to be anonymous and private, like.. Monero. You would still probably be on camera buying a Visa gift card in a retail store. With timestamp.

In practice? The odds are pretty likely. Most people have poor opsec, and you can uniquely identify anyone with fewer than 33 bits of data.
