How to buy with bitcoin anonymously?

ad

I would like to create a bitcoin wallet with a false name but ask me to insert the data in a document. You can open a bitcoin wallet without document? on which site? I would then send me bitcoin from localbitcoins or from a friend, without using a bank account or cards

use a wallet like electrum (electrum.org) and buy your bitcoin from an ATM or the other sources you mention.

There are several hardware wallets out there as well.

Try using Tor browser

This seems to be an app, I would use a web wallet through Tor browser. I tried here in the forum but can not find how to do anonymous bitcoin payments remaining

blockchain.info could work for the wallet.

You seem to have answered your own question. It sounds like you already know better than most.

By design all Bitcoin transactions are public. Anonymity is only possible to the extent that it is hard to figure out that the Bitcoin address that did the spend was owned by you.

Again, you've already described one of the best ways I know to do that.

For getting cash in, meeting up with somebody who will do an exchange with you is the most anonymous. The less of your identity known by the person who does the exchange, the more anonymous you are. And of course try to hide your browser identity from any website that hooks you up with that person. (You mentioned the name of a good one.)

You might also want to look into mixing services, but if you do the exchange well you don't need them.

I agree about web wallet over tor. It leaves fewer traces on your own storage devices than an app. Mycelium uses a server, so better also use that over tor. But it also leaves the addresses on your phone, so better use the web wallet.

This topic has the look of a can of worms.
