How can sending your bitcoin through multiple accounts provide a layer of anonimity, if the initial seller of bitcoin can follow the transactions up til the end anyways?

Ive heard people suggest: LBC > clearnet wallet > TAILS1 wallet > mixer > TAILS2 wallet > market

but whats the point of sending to clearnet wallet AND THEN tails wallet, if anyone with the initial transaction ID wallet can track your coin to the mixer?

It doesn't. Bitcoin transactions are transparent and chain analysis can be done to link your wallets. Privacy oriented coins such as Monero provide a significantly safer solution for online payments.

because nobody knows who owns the different wallets. the more wallets you transfer through the more likely it is that your bitcoin are being transferred to different people. seems pretty straightforward to me.

It can be followed until the end buy it can't be tied to your identity so it gives you credibility if someone wants to run anlaysis.

It does not but if you send to wallets from different IPs and send different amounts to different places you can get plausible deniability. Sending your whole balance from A to B to C is not helpful

Theoretically it is possible but the more steps you use (many transactions, tumblers, etc), the more difficult it becomes. And the more difficult, the more expensive it would be to find the source.

It doesn't add security.

There's an old saying in security: "security through abstraction isn't security"

Basically it means that taking more steps like tumbling your coins 15 times makes it take more effort to link everything together, but it isn't actually harder to find out where your coins come from. It's just more work.

It's the same as putting 100 pieces of paper on top of a switch that say "no switch under here". Sure it's more work to get to the switch, but it isn't actually hiding anything.

Common consensus seems to be that btc is traceable. For ppl using btc to buy goods how easily is the following traceable: btc bought from exchange, btc sent to an anonymous wallet, btc then used to purchase from anonymous wallet. the btc is bought on one device and IP address, the wallet is on a different device and IP address.

Bad idea?

Bitcoin anonymity comes from proper opsec, if there's nothing that connects your darknet persona to your real life persona, there's no proof the bitcoin was transferred from yourself to yourself.

All this shit is unnecessary my dudes. No one is checking shit. Everytime someone posts about OPSEC it's just basically "iamverysmart" material.
