Bitcoin is anonymous as long as you do not directly turn any currency into bitcoins in any way that's traceable. I guess you could buy them with cash from a shady alley gentleman.

nope

if you use a Bitcoin wallet for ransom/extortion for a bomb threat, it doesn't even matter if you sell in cash. you would need to essentially hand over an external drive or cold storage to the buyer, who pays in cash, then never puts that drive or wallet back onto a network in any way to move those coins. as soon as a legitimate transaction hits the block chain, no matter how it is obfuscated, international law enforcement will absolutely 100% track down the buyer in that transaction to gather information about the seller. the block chain is not opaque enough to get away with terrorism in this manner because, even though attributions to wallet names are anonymous, the names themselves are not nor is the network traffic used to transfer butts out of these wallets.

this guy set up a ticking legal time bomb for himself and his only resolution is getting transferred bitcoins and never, ever, ever using them in any fashion whatsoever, not even if Bitcoins become the de facto currency for the entire world after the fall of fiat currencies. as soon as those coins transfer out to anywhere, it starts the breadcrumb trail for investigators to identify his rear end

urban dictionary is ur friend

A Fuckboy is the type of guy who does poo poo that generally pisses the population of the earth off all the time. He will also lead girls on just for hookups, says hes really into you but doesn't want to deal with all the "relationship bullshit" just to gently caress you. He thinks about himself and only himself all the time but pretends to be really nice. He also does really hosed up poo poo and then complains about people who do the same old poo poo as him. once a fuckboy always a fuckboy, because gently caress boys ganna be fuckboys.

A poser who acts like he does drugs and says he gets "head" from bountiful bitches when in fact hes just a lame bitch rear end fool who trys to act all that
Ever heard of that nigga named rio? Hes a major fuckboy.

A person who is a weak rear end pussy
that ain't bout poo poo.
look at that weak rear end gently caress boy.

rear end in a top hat boy who is into strictly sexual relationships; he will lead a girl on and let her down, then apologize only to ask for "pics" once the girl has welcomed him back into her trust. Boys like this will pretend to genuinely care about the girl but always fail to prove the supposed affection. He almost never makes plans because he has to hangout on his terms which could be the most whimsical of times, and if the girl rejects those plans because she has a legitimate reason for not being able to hang out, he will get pissed. However, if plans are made he will bail on them without a second thought. If a girl tries to stand up to this rear end in a top hat he will most likely deny everything and turn it all around on the girl making it seem as though the conflict at stake is her fault and he has done nothing wrong and hates when girls bitch at him for "no reason." He will always come crawling back because he is a horny prick and can not withstand the dispossession of one of his baes, because he has more than one that's for sure. Texting such a boy will consist of the girl carrying the conversation and the guy responding with short answers 10 or more minutes after the girl's response, but when she asks why he takes so long to answer it will be because he is "busy" but he promises he likes her. Boys like this are egotistical assholes who can not be trusted and are hard to get rid of because they say all the right things to get the girl back.

Tiffany: "He found me on instagram and commented "hmu." He's hot, should I go for it?"
Stephanie: "No, he's such a fuckboy. Sleeps around and will screw you over."

on the off chance that you're serious about it, tumblers don't meaningfully stop investigation because the 7 transaction/second bitcoin economy is too sparse to cover your tracks, like a cat trying to bury a turd on a marble floor

tumblrs are just obfuscation. it's still possible to backtrace through them, just more of a pain in the rear end than doing it for only a couple of transactions

when the person you're going after is categorized as "active bomber" investigative resources start really getting their poo poo together; about the only thing that might have a decent chance of being untraceable would be randomly redistributing the bitcoins to random wallet addresses or something similarly detached.

it could be done with tumblrs, but you'd have to be very, very patient and pass them through a lot and do so semi-randomly and it's a ton of hassle

they would buy enough time for the bomber to move to a country that he can't be extradited from, where he will have his Bitcoin wealth and never be allowed back into a country from which he could be extradited from

provided he finds somebody who will actually pay cash for his bitcoins, because any bank account would be flagged and frozen

and he doesn't just get shanked in an alley for the bitcoins and left to rot by a dumpster

it is a one in a million chance to successfully pull it off and live a happy life. in Russia
