Bitcoin was not and never will be anonymous if a user converts to fiat. There is always a way to trace a transaction through the blockchain, and from there to a fiat-Bitcoin exchange where you have an account tied to your bank.


I suppose the more anonymous option would be to 'buy' mining or use something like localbitcoins? You could still get caught, of course, but it'd be a lot more difficult.
