"Given the anonymous nature of the world’s most valuable digital asset, it is difficult to identify the individuals who possess the addresses in question"
Where do you get this anonymous wallet? Every time I tried to open one I get hit with requests to show photo ID. It's why I couldn't donate to Poal using crypto...
Sounds like you're talking about the exchanges themselves or invasive mobile wallet apps. A good wallet like Electrum, or even better- a hard wallet such as the Ledger Nano, do not require credentials.
As for buying anonymously, or making your current crypto anonymous, that's a different story. Usually involves third party trading and/or tumbling.
You can create a new Bitcoin address and key, without any internet connection. Just generate a random number. There's your wallet. I'm not making this up, this is all that's necessary. Then you need to transfer some in.
Can't you just do an in-person transaction for cash into your own wallet? Been a while since I messed with crypto.
Again a misunderstanding.
