Bitcoin is not anonymous.  The entire ledger history is exposed.  Through network analysis you can figure out who the original anonymous holder is.  And as soon as that holder tries to convert to a fiat currency their identity will be exposed.  It&#x27;s precisely because Bitcoin is way more traceable than cash, the US government has not tried to shut it down despite a lot illegal activity being paid for via bitcoin.<p>As soon as Satoshi tries to convert any of his coins into dollars or any other legacy currency everyone will know who he is.
