Note: Technically Bitcoin is pseudonymous, but in order to simplify things, I will be referring to any method of storing value that isn't linked to your ID to be "anonymous".

OK, so other than Bitcoin and altcoins, the only other anonymous ways of storing value that I can think of are cash and precious metals. Are there any others? Or is it just these three?

A bank account would be linked to your name and identity, and so would a house or business under your name. It would be impossible to discern the owner of a $100 note, a bar of gold, or a carefully managed bitcoin address and if someone had their assets confiscated for whatever reason, the government would not be able to get their hands on a well-hidden stash of cash, gold, or bitcoins.

Well there arent many, why would you need another method besides the ones cited here?

Simply storing the BTC in a wallet is pretty anonymous.   It starts to be more traceable once you start transacting and sending money around, because there is a path that can be followed if someone is really trying.   If the money is just being stored...it is pretty anonymous IMO

This. If you want to be completely anonymous when making a purchase, mix your coins. There are a lot of coinmixers that barely charge anything to mix your coins for you.

Booze, coffee, long lasting food.  Food also inflates in price massively.. find stuff that last awhile.

Oil and gas  Cool

That's the best bet if you can't use cash, gold or BTC, but it'll be somewhat difficult storing it...

Holding virtual property could be a decent form of holding value, but I wouldn't guarantee that. A lot could go wrong. I know some people that make/store cash on games that you can exchange Real money to in-game money and back again through the company, but I don't know how anonymous that is...

Could be a good idea, I don't know.
