Conviction!Hi Klaw,The answer to your question is that if someone uses a traceable methods to buy BTC such as using their bank account and/or uses their own IP address which can be traced via their ISP to send coins to/from a BTC wallet then subsequent transactions can be traced throughout the block chain.Using a mixer hugely increases your safety as does routing your wallet software through Tor and buying Bitcoins using untraceable methods like cash.V.
