Bitcoin addresses also provide better anonymity. In my opinion they are ideal. Otherwise it’s necessary to use tor or the like also to guarantee anonymity.

Isn’t that “unsafe”? Say I am an exit node listening for bitcoin transactions and grab them? Or is everything public/private key encrypted?[1]
