If you bought something on Silk Road with bitcoin, the blockchain will remember it forever and possibly reveal your identity

The analogy I like to use is:
A really good mask/disguise can give you anonymity. (Don’t forget to put gravel in your shoes too.) But casinos have CCTV, so - even if you pull your “Ocean’s 25” caper in disguise - there’s gonna be a record of your doing that. And if you change into your disguise right outside the casino, in full view of dozens of other cameras… your anonymity won’t help you at all.
