There are ways to achieve significant privacy using Bitcoin, the protocol itself is pseudonymous, lightning in many ways enhances privacy. But you need to know what you are doing and there are many gotchas.

BTC --> XMR --> BTC is the simplest method to achieve anonymity with Bitcoin, or you can just purchase Monero directly via cash by mail.

Just make sure you dont use the same amount…

This. In fact, it’s the opposite and designed for transparency.

You can create a free account at first and then upgrade using bitcoin.

Proton has free accounts, you don’t need to start with a paid one.
