Incase you're being genuinely sincere in your query..

> globally-readable transaction ledger

Having which skin flicks i dropped a dime on publicly searchable doesn't seem a good move privacy wise.

There are plenty of cryptocurrencies that are designed to be anonymous. Bitcoin isn't the only thing out there

And there's still plenty of Bitcoin ATMs throughout many cities that accept cash and put it onto a wallet. Or other ways to disconnect identity.

But really who the hell is going to go through the very hard work to figure out which porn sites you signed up for (with a random user name not connected to your real identity naturally, which is the first disconnect). No one cares. Especially for a site like pornhub.

If you transfer $20 to pornhub that doesn't say a lot about your tastes.
