I could go to the local ATM and buy Bitcoin anonymously right now So you walk around the city with your face covered, only buy stuff with cash, and never ride in your personally owned vehicle or the vehicle of a friend?

The ATM has a transaction time and your bitcoin transaction record. There are enough cameras in the cities near ATMs (for this very reason) that you can be tracked if the government found you as interesting as you think you might be.

This person probably thinks venmo is anonymous too.

You'd be better off going to the ATM and getting cash and then using that cash for your purchase if you wanted to remain anonymous.

Bitcoin keeps a transaction log that's integral to the technology behind it, and is retained longer than fucking Chase Manhattan transaction logs.
