As a hobbiest I always worry about the transaction being traced back to me.
I have a hobby phone and use prepaid cards.
I always use cash, as cash is difficult to track.
I know very little about bitcoin, but my concern would real world information lead back to personal information about me? How would you feel if your real world information was revealed as part of the transaction.
Could the IRS or state taxation board track the transaction?
To me, good old fashioned cash works best.

Cash is king . As they say but I have been known to work around it if I absolutely had too but not too often. With all the ATMs around really no excuse unless you have a nosy SO
