don't think I need to use blockchain anymore to send or receive bitcoin

I remember a couple years ago when there were stories about coinbase.com tracking who you were sending your bitcoin to. Some claimed that they actually were blackballed because coinbase could see they were using them for sportsbooks. As a habit I have been using blockchain.info as 2nd step to disguise where the bitcoin was going. Thinking about it now, I believe those were the days that each book had their own bitcoin address. Now when you send you get a different address every time plus I think it is only good for about a half hour. Because of this I don't believe coinbase could know where I am sending bitcoin even if they wanted to. As a result I should not need the middle step anymore. Does this sound right to you guys? This is more of a theoretical question anyway since I am sure they really would not be interested in me for the volume that I do.

I have done so many transactions directly with books in and out of coinbase that I have lost track, and have never had an issue. Maybe that's just me...

it's just one extra transaction, not sure what the big deal is unless you're getting charged massive transfer fees
