If I wanted to accumulate some BTC anonymously and just hold it
would this work?
Buy XMR on a KYC exchange.
Withdraw it to a Monero wallet connected by TOR or VPN
Transfer to a second Monero wallet connected by TOR or VPN
Send XMR to a non KYC exchange and buy BTC
Withdraw to BTC wallet connected by TOR
Any corrections, suggestions, or better ideas?
If we talk about buying BTC anonymously and storing it, then you probably need to start from the very beginning, namely for what funds are you going to buy BTC? If we take into account your scheme of actions, then it is unlikely that it will be 100% anonymous, which, in principle, applies to any schemes. If someone wants to track the movement of funds for the purchase of BTC, then probably even with great effort he will be able to do it, the other question is, why do this? Why would anyone know that you bought BTC and are holding it? All this hype around anonymity, you just need to give BTC and other cryptocurrencies value, but I do not think that the system or the tax system monitors your funds, in any case, until your amount becomes too large, then they will probably be interested and, if they want to, can find out whose funds it is. I don’t think that in our time there are 100% completely anonymous systems, and if they exist, then only at the level of security and intelligence services, but not in the financial system.
