BitCoin itself is not anonymous, although you can attempt to make it so. But anonymity is not the main selling point of BTC.

> anonymity is not the main selling point of BTC

To expand on that: the main selling points of BTC are that it's easy to transfer and that there is no central bank, which makes it impossible to tap into your funds by increasing the money supply. If your only concern is anonymity, cash is the much superior option (true anonymity vs. mixing).
