Is Bitcoin fully anonymous?

Bitcoin is not entirely anonymous. Each user has public address that can be tracked theoretically, through proper network analysis.

Bitcoin are stored in wallet and wallet have your personal data.

When we transfer bitcoin, a message is broadcast In public about the transaction, we declare that bitcoin in been exchange so that miner can confirm our transaction and put it in the bitcoin blockchain network. This data is publicly broadcast and permanently stored on the bitcoin blockchain which has the address from where it came from and amount transfer.

Using this hacker can reach to your wallet and get all personal detail, amount of bitcoin you have, and also have access to see your future transaction.

How it maintains our privacy?

We sometimes use troubleshooting and debugging interchangeably. But generally, we say troubleshooting when we're fixing problems in the system running the application, and debugging when we're fixing the bugs in the actual code of the application. Debuggers let us follow the code line by line, inspect changes in variable assignments, interrupt the program when a specific condition is met, and more. System calls are the calls that the programs running on our computer make to the running kernel. A reproduction case is a way to verify if the problem is present or not.
