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?
I'm sorry, your friend is saying the truth. You can't hide your identity on cryptocurrency 100%. There are just little things that can expose you. Your address is there and every transaction you're making with your address leaves that can be used to trace you ,and your IP address as well. I don't know how you can hide your IP address.

Another thing you have to know is that bitcoin was created by some researchers and they all have where they are all working now, and possibly a lot of them might be working for the government. They know everything including how they can track down anyone they want to, you can't hide forever. I no longer use bitcoin as a means to stay anonymous, I just use it because it's an easy means for transaction and also an investment for me.
