how to get bitcoin anonymously (or where to find out)? - Divisions by zero

i’m wanting to get on usenet but remain compeltely anon (vpn, anon purchase, etc). i know this ins’t stricly a piracy question and is maybe more of a crypto question but figure there ain’t nobody who knows privacy and anoniminitry like you guys do. so if i want to some amounts of bitcoin anon , how tf do i get it? liek not large amount, just small shit like to buy subs for a few for usenet indexes and whatnot?i know the bitcoin atm’s and banks do know your customer stuff (basically they id you first) and are not anon. have hear d that you can mine it anon but not sure if apps track hw specs and whatnot that could be used to id you. is there another ways that dont require you to have sepcial sms accounts or burner phones pr whaetver first? i’m on linux ifg it matters for good mining aps. i can write some bash scripts but im not a super hacker or anthing.

XMR is a better choice if you want complete anonymity.
ok, XMR then. sorry. how do you get it anon? do you use site the other guy recommended? mine it? something else?

Reason people recommend monero is because crypto like bitcoin has a public ledger, so if you send your bitcoin to a usernet service then the usenet service and along with the exchange used to get the bitcoin will know what you spent the bitcoin on. So you end up having to use mixers to try and hide the transaction.

Monero is just easier where the wallet receiving the Monero should theoretically not know what address it came from because the ledger is private. So once you sent your monero into your own wallet the exchange and anyone you send the monero too would not know the address of your wallet or balance. At least in theory.
