Have never used cryptocurrency before, all I know is that Bitcoin transactions can be tracked, Monero is the most widely accepted untraceable cryptocurrency, and many exchanges enforce KYC. I do not presently have the hardware to mine for myself at an appreciable rate. What do I need to know and use in order to set up a wallet, acquire crypto, exchange, and spend it as anonymously as I practically can?

Some sites list places where you can use an ATM to buy cryptocurrencies using... cash, i hope.

You'll have to do your homework.
If they accept cash, i'd say not. There might be cameras though.
