Awesome breakdown thanks.  Currently using Wasabi Wallet (showing registration 30 mins remaining)  I will provide an update for any other newbies who might be interested on how it turned out.

Thanks.  I am excited to be part of the cryptoverse.  I have brought along a few converts from my family into Bitcoin as well.  I intend on HODLing but do not feel comfortable leaving it on the exchanges, especially non KYC exchanges which seem to be useful but shady as all heck.   It sounds like sending it to a non-KYC and then sending it back to a new wallet in smaller increments may be a viable option (according to some responses). 

I will also research some mixers (already looking at Wasabi Wallet). 

I used to be the guy that trashed bitcoin but i decided to do alot of research and finally bought in at around 15.5K; needless to say i am happy with my overall return thus far.

Question on anonymity.  I bought my Bitcoin from Coinbase (like i said newbie), anyway, I learned what a wallet is and decided to transfer my bitcoin.  I also learned i can be tracked via my bitcoin address because of my initial purchase from Coinbase (KYC).

Can i clean my bitcoin by sending it to an exchange like Houbi, then sell and repurchase, then send it to a brand new wallet?

Or convert to Ethereum wait a few days and then reconvert to bitcoin?

Am i overthinking this?   Anybody wanna help a brother out.  Thanks.
