Simply storing the BTC in a wallet is pretty anonymous.   It starts to be more traceable once you start transacting and sending money around, because there is a path that can be followed if someone is really trying.   If the money is just being stored...it is pretty anonymous IMO

This. If you want to be completely anonymous when making a purchase, mix your coins. There are a lot of coinmixers that barely charge anything to mix your coins for you.
If you are going to mix your coins then you need to be sure that the mixer is somewhat trusted. There are a few out there that are trusted, but are also many scams out there, especially on the hidden wikki.

Even if they are trusted, you can't be sure that they don't do the opposite to what they are supposed to do. How can you be 100% confident whether a mixer is not a honeypot, even if it doesn't run away with your money?

OK, so other than Bitcoin and altcoins, the only other anonymous ways of storing value that I can think of are cash and precious metals. Are there any others? Or is it just these three?
How about gift cards?  One could argue, however, that gift cards are similar to cash but often more restrictive.  So they wouldn't be a particularly good way of storing value, but they could work.

By the way, precious metals are not an anonymous way of storing value, unless you buy some jewelery (and this is questionable too). But jewelery is not a particularly good store of value. When you buy a piece of it, you pay for the work plus metal, but when you sell it, in most cases you are paid only for the scrap metal.

Booze, coffee, long lasting food.  Food also inflates in price massively.. find stuff that last awhile.

Yup, especially wine has been traditionally used for that. Just go to a rich person's house and look around. They'll have a wine cellar, old paintings, etc, for exactly that reason.

There is a difference between anonymous and private.
