Bitcoin security (buyers)

So I see a lot of threads about how bitcoin is traceable and so on.

Does this mean for a buyer: That purchasing coins through exchange>to electrum>to DNM wallet isn't enough to cover yourself? If not can anyone explain why? Also, can someone explain what is enough to cover yourself.

From an exchanges perspective this means:

  1. User purchases Bitcoin

  2. Bitcoin is send to a secondary wallet

  3. Bitcoin is send to a Darknet market


Chance is that any exchange will be able to trace the last step. Adding a step in between does not do much if your only use for Bitcoin are Darknet purchases. At some point it would become obvious that you are only purchasing Bitcoin to purchase illegal goods. What you are attempting to do is "tumble" in a very basic and counter productive way, I provided a longer explanation here

bitcoin is terrible for operational security! i would be very suspicious of any DNM that doesn't have zcash, or monero as a payment option.

Just transfer ur Bitcoin into Monero. It's simple and untraceable because Monero's blockchain isn't view able.
