The transactions themselves are more or less anonymous, however, every coin is traceable from its creation through all of its owners (based on wallet ID), thus, when that particular coin is set to a known address/organization, then it can reveal the identity of the owner at that time (i.e. when you go to cash out).

Sending bitcoins is irreversible. No chargebacks.

Bitcoin transaction are not reversable. No risk of chargeback.
Anonym are transaction not, because you can trace through blockchain, but you can use a mixer.
When you search for anonym transaction, then use Dash(darkcoin).

also depends on your OPSEC when you create your wallet

coins/transactions are traceable to wallets but whether the wallet is traceable to an identity depends how you do it

Bitcoin transactions are not anonymous in any way. An adversary, say U.S. Cybercommand, can most likely tie transactions to identities with little effort.

If you are interested in a cryptocurrency that is secure, private, and untraceable, then your best bet is Monero. www.getmonero.org

Monero can be obtained at www.poloniex.com or other cryptocurrency exchanges.

The Bitcoin FAQ says "Bitcoin is not anonymous".

Once a transaction is sent, it is displayed on the public bitcoin ledger and can not be retrieved.
The only known way to retrieve (or rather falsify) bitcoins is by double spending...which makes the transaction unable to be confirmed and is returned to the sender after a period of time.
Bear in mind, This process is extremely hard, and is unlikely to be successful.
Double spending can be done via sending transactions with no fees.
