you can’t. That’s the point of blockchain. Every transaction is recorded.
Even if you buy private party the transfer would be forever recorded. No one would know you owned the wallet but you would need to find someone else private party to give you cash or an asset on the other end to remain “anonymous”.
this is the fallacy that some politicians have with Bitcoin being a black market currency. It’s way more traceable than cash transactions.

You and I could do a transaction without knowing each other. But, keeping that info from a government that wants to get it when there is a recording of all your transactions, might be more difficult.

Sure, right now. I mean no one knows who is behind a particular key. I assume JB is worried about some point in the future, if governments try to confiscate or heavily tax Bitcoin.

Personally, I don’t think any of it is enough to stop someone investing. It’s like saying I don’t want to make a million dollars because of the taxes.
Besides, if it gets heavily taxed it will, most likely, be at the transaction level. If the government tries to outlaw it, just spend it in another country.

And the big question is how would the government tax such transactions? I have always had the same question about physical gold. How do they know how much you paid for it? All my records are lost with my guns in a tragic boat fire... tomorrow.

No, you don't understand. I don't want a paper trail the government can follow. I don't want to buy it thru a broker or anything like that. I want to buy it with cash.

The government has basically destroyed privacy through FATCA. The countries that still don't bow to it are basically black listed from all the countries that do. The law says that you have to report all assets including Bit Coin and any bank accounts you have anywhere in the world. If you don't and they catch you they will take half as an opening salvo then there is IRS court where anything goes except rights.

I won't get too specific here but you can do research. There are strategies.
