I finally broke down to learn how to get Bitcoin. I just bought my first $100 using Coinbase. Can I now send it to a private wallet before transferring some elsewhere? What's a good wallet that's private/anon? Also that can be used on a phone.

Edit: I want it to be able to hold doge and some others as well.

Your Gov't ID is now tied to that BTC and will be traceable whatever wallet you transfer it to. To make it anonymous you would ha e to move it through a mixer similar to tornado cash but on the bitcoin chain, or even bridge it to another chain like SCRT (secret) and then back again.

Good point. Eh, I'll consider it a $100 lesson. I'll just get a wallet then go to a Bitcoin machine and pay cash. That would be anonymous?

LOL, nope, I think they at least require a phone and maybe an ID too? I guess that could be faked easier.

If you actually want anonymous transactions, you'll need to use a privacy coin like monero.

Thanks for all the advice. This is why I've avoided digital currency, but it's for a good cause.

Most of those in the u.s. require ID, but if you are lucky and find one that doesn't need ID then yes that would work too.
