You did good. You don't buy bitcoin by mining it...

If you keep the mined coin and pay for the electricity with fiat there really isn't a more pure way of anonymously acquiring bitcoin.

Sure and you acquire bitcoin, but you don't buy it. You create it.

Buying electricity, and buying bitcoin isn't the same thing, that's all I'm saying.

What I prefer to do and what I actually do are not the same. I prefer to buy p2p, but in reality I buy KYC via Strike.

p2p in person with cash 💸💸
Everything else is a compromise in needed trust or privacy. Maybe mining if it yielded more or maybe kyc-free vouchers if they exsisted in my country.
