I don’t understand why everybody keeps saying bitcoin is so private and you can protect your identity etc etc etc

But every option I have researched to buy requires you to identify yourself!!

How does that work exactly??

Not that I have a problem with identifying myself in exchanges or whatever.

But is there a step I’m missing or something? To get anonymized? Why all the talk about protecting your identity??

The only method I found to buy it without giving information is an ATM, and there aren’t too many.
