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.

Just to chime in:

Bitcoin core wallet allows you to create multiple public addresses, which allows you to have all your coins in one wallet but with different 'traces'. Say you bought 1 BTC on coinbase and won 1 BTC in an online casino that didn't require KYC. The coins from coinbase would be sent to address #1, and the ones from the casino would be sent to address #2. In your wallet, you would have 2 BTC, but only 1 of those would ever be traced back to coinbase. As others have suggested, you could send the coinbase BTC to a tumbler and send it to address #3, obfuscate the origin along the way.

In general, always use a unique address when doing BTC transactions - unfortunately most wallets don't support that and leave you with a single address that is easy to track.

Gets a little more complicated when you then need to send out the coins from your wallet, if you want to preserve your pseudo-anonymity, as you'd need to select the correct inputs to not mix the coins and reveal their origin.

If you want anonymity, something like XMR is probably the way to go.
