I was having an argument with a friend. He says that you can't be anonymous to the bitcoin's network. Both nodes and wallets use, leads to an ip address where information can be found.

I had read in this forum that you can hide it with hardware? How exactly?
Your friend is absolutely right. Bitcoin network is not an anonymous network. Bitcoin is not meant for privacy at all.
Bitcoin was meant to be used as a peer to peer payment system in a distributed peer to peer network.
At some point it is possible to get the identity of the particular peer.
There are other coins which are anonymous and providers more privacy . Monero is one of them.
