Is a one-time, paper wallet Bitcoin transaction anonymous if you never link personal info? Can one begin with anonymity/end with anonymity too?
Say I buy bitcoins from someone with cash (no bank, name, trace, etc.) and have them send it to a paper wallet/offline address. Yeah, there's a "trace" but to WHAT/WHO? It's bought with cash, etc.
With this offline address I receive it and send it to another person from it (not using any personally-identifiable Wi-Fi, etc.) like from, say, a coffee shop or other public Wi-Fi from the paper wallet that has no personal information linking to me. This is not bought in a traditional sense.
Coins with bought with cash -- seller doesn't know who I am or received any ID. I used no banks, personal info, home Wi-Fi... If one can't trace it to you and prove you did it, isn't it anonymous?
If one were to do all of this, wouldn't this make it close to impossible to both track and prove without a doubt that said person could be held "liable" for having used this if they have no way to prove they bought it, any personal info, etc.? You can even add a VPN, Tor, etc. for the icing.....
I realize one can track some steps, but the real kicker is; tracked to whom? There's no solid info... No public Wi-Fi businesses/etc. Can have every measure in effect to connect your IP to you 100%.
