Electrum wallet questions.

I tried doing a search on Reddit for this, but I kept getting that weird page with the alien with a pile of... orange things on him. Whatever the hell that is.

Anyway. So I am waiting for my coins on Coinbase. Meanwhile, trying to understand tumbling. I downloaded Electrum and created a wallet. So if I move my coins from my Coinbase wallet to my Electrum wallet, have I effectively tumbled them, since my Electrum wallet isn't attached specifically to my ID and therefore the coins from it could have been anyone's? Or would I still have to tumble? If so, what's the point of an Electrum wallet? Is it not safe to just keep your coins on Coinbase?

In other news, a couple of my Facebook friends are passing around this news story that's all "ZOMG dark markets, much sekrit internet, so bitcoin, wow." It's sort of amazing that there's this whole internet world out there that most people have no idea even exists. I hope they stop writing those stupid articles and getting everyone all curious. I have a feeling that would be bad for the dark markets.
