Anonymity during Bitcoin purchases

Hey guys, so far I've bought all my bitcoins via a clearnet site where I had to enter lots of personal data to open an account: address, bank account, cell phone number etc. I sent my BTC from that site straight to a tumbling service and then to my markets of choice.

Last week, they had me go through the process of complete identification, i.e. I was connected to someone over my cell's webcam and had to repeat my data as well as flash my ID.

I was wondering: do you think I should be extra careful when using BTC for DNM purposes now that I went the whole nine yards regarding identification? I mean, they already had my name, address, bank account and cell number before, so I don't know how much difference it made. Or would it be fine to cut out the middleman and go straight to the markets with my BTC?

I always tumble. Some people say it's nooby or a waste of my money but it's a couple %, a few bucks maybe, and on the off chance that somebody was going to trace my coins I'd like that security and it makes me feel safer that if I get fucked that's one step harder for 12 to pin stuff on me. It's mostly to keep my own paranoia under control though and that's worth the 2.5% I pay to grams

Yeah, I tumble too.

I guess what I'm asking is: should I even be worried with showing my ID for BTC purchases? There was a huge backlash against Circle here recently for requiring ID. But if they already had your bank data prior to the policy change, wouldn't it be easy for them to track you down based on that data alone?
