So my understanding is, you have a wallet, that wallet has a hash ID and thus is basically anonymous. But if someone connects that ID to you, you aren’t anonymous anymore.

I heard you should use a new wallet for every transaction. But if I send money to the new wallet from my personal wallet, won’t that be on blockchain forever? Thus making it identifiable? Or if I send euros/dolars to my new wallet, won’t that connect me to the new wallet?

    The two wallets will forever be connected, sure. But, are they connected as two wallets belonging to the same person, or are they connected as a buyer and a seller?

    Bitcoin is not inherently anonymous. Quite the reverse: Every transaction is deliberately public.
