Bitcoin's anonymity stems from the detachment of wallet addresses from individual identities.

With Bitcoin, the wallet address used for payments is not associated with any specific person, thus preserving anonymity.

When paying with cash, similar anonymity is achieved as the physical currency cannot be traced back to the original owner.
