thats why on some level it is better to run your own wallet.

  You still have to buy your bitcoin somewhere, unless you earn it or mine. This is about Coinbase's brokerage activities, not its wallet services.

    OK, so you earn Bitcoin online, as an anonymous consultant. Cashing out is a risk. But at least, you can fund your anonymous online activity. Long term, I suppose that you could drop it somewhere as gold or real estate, and then emigrate. But that's also risky.

    You could buy fairly anonymously via certain methods on localbitcoins.com (or in person, etc).
