> Bitcoin is not fully anonymous

Bitcoin is not anonymous at all, a public ledger is the opposite of anonymous if anything. At best it's pseudonymous.

I think parent used Mullvad as an example as they actually support creation of accounts 100% anonymously, as you can literally mail them an envelope with cash.

Well, acktshually…

BTC can be anonymous through careful wallet management combined with methods such as CoinJoins[1].
