Despite this, it is possible to safely anonymize Bitcoin through the use of cryptocurrencies with a focus on untraceability such as Monero (XMR) with a few more steps and at a relatively small cost. So, you might be wondering how? Well, it is actually pretty simple:
1. Purchase Monero at:
Purchase Monero at:
a. a KYC exchange (such as Kraken)
- a KYC exchange (such as Kraken)
b. a non-KYC exchange (such as <https://bisq.network/>)
- a non-KYC exchange (such as <https://bisq.network/>)
c. from someone on LocalMonero using cash (at your own risk)

2. Create a Monero wallet on one of your anonymized VMs (for example, on the Whonix Workstation which includes a Monero GUI wallet natively or using the Monero GUI wallet from <https://www.getmonero.org/downloads/> on other OSes)

You should now have an anonymized Bitcoin wallet that can be used for purchasing services that do not accept Monero. **You should never access this wallet from a non-anonymized environment and always use well-thought OPSEC with your BTC transactions. Remember those can be traced back to you.**

These steps should upgrade from "reasonably anonymous" to "extra-paranoid anonymous". Even if Monero is broken in the future. Zcash will have to be broken as well. Quite unlikely.
