Is crypto currency really anonymous?

joeyvanderbrink, what does that have to do with anonymity though? You might be able to track a bitcoin from the moment it is mined to now, but that doesn't mean that you know the identity of anyone who owns the wallets.

The question is somewhat vague, are you asking if bitcoins are anonymous, or are you asking if they can be traced - and if you're asking whether they can be traced, are you asking whether you can identify the entire life of a bitcoin (every wallet it has ever been contained in) or whether you can trace a bitcoin back to a person?
