Sending Bitcoin from LocalBitcoin to another wallet to secure my funds, does it work? I have an account with LocalBitcoin, that I use to ONLY fund my backpage account. However, this account is on the clearnet, is linked to my email address and bank account, and has been used without any privacy/protection layer whatsoever. I live in a place that do not seems to have any option for cash payment to get bitcoins, that's why I used my bank account to fund it and didn't consider protecting it when I first used it.

Well, now I would like to purchase something with bitcoins, but I do not want this transaction to be linked in any way to my LocalBitcoin account (and all personal information).

My questions are:


If I cannot fund an account by cash payment, can I create another account from a different website, to which I would be safely sending bitcoins from my LocalBitcoin account?
Does this allow me a certain layer of security/privacy considering that this new account would be created with a different identity, and dedicated only to usage with TOR browser?
Does Bitcoin transfer the bitcoins from normal web to TOR Network securely in any way?


Thanks a lot

Transactions in Bitcoin are linkable. In other words, if you anonymously sent me Bitcoins to address 123, I could see that those bitcoins used to belong to address 456. If I also had a copy of LocalBitcoin's database, I could see that address 456 belongs to you. I would have a high degree of confidence that the Bitcoins came from you.

Tor doesn't fix that, but it's still a good idea. Tor can hide your IP address, but in the above example, I never used that anyway.
