Here is an example for a perfectly private Bitcoin transaction: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Privacy#Example_-_A_perfectly_pri...

Solo-mining a block is basically impossible these days. Also I would assume all remaining Bitcoin mixers are honeypots. You can get some degree of privacy in Bitcoin with coinjoin but it is slow, cumbersome, has high fees and is not a proper solution for decentralised cash. There is also the possibility of ending up with tainted Bitcoins.

I also disagree that you only need privacy for “unsafe” transactions. Everyone has a right to privacy in their day to day life.
