Everybody using Bitcoin has an entire copy of the BTC network with all its transactions on their hard disk.

So yeah, you're traced I'd say. Bitcoin is pseduoanonymous. You need to work at it and have a specific procedure to make it anonymous proper. Read the thread in my sig about BTC and anonymity.
