Bitcoin is not anonymous. it's pseudonymous at best. It's a public ledger.

Monero[0] seems to be aimed at that, but I have no idea if it maintains the promise.

There are various "privacy coins" which aim to be used anonymously. Monero and Zcash (using shielded transactions) are the two most popular.
