It can be totally anonymous if you can use a non-KYC exchange way of acquiring it. And then again, you can buy monero or zcash, then buy bitcoin again. I could start up a new open source wallet on an air gapped machine, go to a local bitcoin meetup, and buy bitcoin for cash.




That's for a few dozen people in the world. For the billions that don't do this... It is not anonymous.
