Like you said bitcoin is pseudo anonymous.  I personally fear the lightning network making bitcoin anonymous.  I've still yet to get a concrete answer whether the Lightning Network actually makes bitcoin truly anonymous or not, but if it does, I worry.  Man countries don't allow their women to drive, vote, or hold many career positions that men do..why on earth are they going to allow an anonymous currency to operate in their country? Of course OTC will always live, but shutting down exchanges could be detrimental to bitcoins future.

Was that meant to be a question or what? It seems to me that the OP has all the answers already and yet it brings up a subject that has been addressed on this forum several times already.
What's wrong with the Search function? (It was a rhetorical question, you don't really have to answer.)

The user covering tracks, is possible when the user is not in an serious interest, like when the user commit a fraud, crime and the user, uses bitcoin to implement the crime, the tracks can't be swept un-stained, it shouldn't even be so, if one commits a crime, anonymity can be of concern to people who aren't allowed into a project, contest, exchange and so on because of their location.

It is anonymous as long as no personal details of yours appear in any of the transactions. This means that if you got coins for free from a friend or a member of family, or earned them in a signature campaign, they are anonymous. If you then go to a service that requires KYC and spend them there, they stop being anonymous, but if you exchange them with someone for something (barter) they will remain anonymous.

Do you realy think of bitcoin as anonymous?

can be easily linked to an IP address

and anyway TRANSPARENT LEDGER!

Are you worried with your paper fiat being anonymous too? Aren't you worried that all exchange names and addresses have been leaked and every scammer can know your addresses?

You are correct. It is pseudonymous. But lot of people think that bitcoin is completely anonymous. And there are those dumb people that commit crimes using bitcoin thinking they won't get caught, but they eventually do. I remember few months ago someone groups of criminals were financing their crimes through bitcoin. They were using voucher codes to redeem coins, but they did get caught eventually.
As long as you are connected to the internet, there will eventually a way to track you (unless you take extreme measures). I doubt anyone would want to track you by doing those complex deep analysis unless you have done some serious crime that resulted in national/international pressure.

I agree with you.
I also feel dependent on your own thinking about bitcoin being anonymous or not as long as bitcoin is still in its goal.

For me, I'd say bitcoin is anonymous. Considering the fact that I do not need to submit any personal document to transact with it. However, this post is quite thoughtful and has made me rethink. What if wallet app site has been recording my IP addresses? What if they can use it to track me? 

Anonymous does not mean without control or without a legal owner, bitcoin can be owned, every user can invest and have an official and private wallet. sometimes we make buying and selling transactions we can't see where the person selling is from and we don't know who he is maybe this is my anoim but the transaction history is still detected and recorded by the wallet. miners may not even know who made the transactions
