00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,980
all right, in this video, we're going to show you how to actually go about purchasing bitcoin from a peer to peer network.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:10,370
this means it's decentralized and likely you will not need anything like kyc details, right?

3
00:00:10,370 --> 00:00:16,640
no address, no passport, no, no identification card or anything like that to actually purchase the bitcoin.

4
00:00:16,780 --> 00:00:19,390
this is going to be one of the better ways to purchase bitcoin.

5
00:00:19,390 --> 00:00:26,830
if you go through a normal exchange, that's kyc, you're going to want to then probably mix or tumble your bitcoin, which can be illegal depending on where you're at.

6
00:00:26,830 --> 00:00:32,150
and then you'd want probably several transfers in between your destination wallet to actually make things secure.

7
00:00:32,150 --> 00:00:35,250
but even then that trail is definitely trackable.

8
00:00:35,250 --> 00:00:40,880
and we'll show you that in future videos in this course where we actually show like a bitcoin transactions and how we can track them.

9
00:00:40,940 --> 00:00:47,730
but in this video specifically, the best way to initially get bitcoin is going to be one of two ways, either using an atm or using peer to peer.

10
00:00:47,730 --> 00:00:49,630
even atms, right, they have cameras on them.

11
00:00:49,630 --> 00:00:51,370
they're likely in places with cameras.

12
00:00:51,370 --> 00:00:56,090
so it's not as anonymous as you would want, but using peer to- peer is going to be the better way to go.

13
00:00:56,090 --> 00:01:00,600
so for this, we'll jump over to our browser and we'll use something called bisque.

14
00:01:00,700 --> 00:01:06,090
bisque is a desktop application that we can use to actually do peer- to- peer purchasing.

15
00:01:06,090 --> 00:01:09,680
they do have it for many operating systems, cubes itself, it's on there.

16
00:01:09,940 --> 00:01:15,240
debian or ubuntu, so you can install it on tails if you need it, the straight source code, arts, red hat.

17
00:01:15,300 --> 00:01:18,910
we're on windows right now as of recording this, so we'll just download the windows version.

18
00:01:18,910 --> 00:01:23,930
it may look a little differently depending on what operating system you're on, but that would be the preferred one.

19
00:01:23,930 --> 00:01:25,510
so i've already done the downloads.

20
00:01:25,510 --> 00:01:27,720
what i'll do is actually launch the application right now.

21
00:01:28,860 --> 00:01:35,000
and here you can see the application is booting up and you'll notice right here on the bottom, it's actually creating your tor network.

22
00:01:35,020 --> 00:01:38,160
so it does actually connect over tor when using the application.

23
00:01:38,500 --> 00:01:40,170
now they do have tor built into it.

24
00:01:40,170 --> 00:01:49,470
so you have to be careful on like trusting that by default, assuming they didn't modify the tor connection settings or anything like that, but they are pretty transparent in their documentation.

25
00:01:49,470 --> 00:01:54,120
so it does actually connect using tor to make it more anonymous and secure.

26
00:01:54,180 --> 00:01:58,640
once it does launch up, it'll give you some basic information, but we can just close this.

27
00:01:58,900 --> 00:02:02,280
and there's a lot of different options here, but what we really care about.

28
00:02:02,900 --> 00:02:03,800
there we go.

29
00:02:04,380 --> 00:02:08,370
okay, we went to the settings really quickly to turn on dark mode because wow, that hurt.

30
00:02:08,370 --> 00:02:10,560
and there's a lot of different information in this tool.

31
00:02:10,660 --> 00:02:13,170
definitely feel free to browse and look around.

32
00:02:13,170 --> 00:02:16,520
there's information about your network, information about urls.

33
00:02:16,820 --> 00:02:19,310
there's different bitcoin network, bis network information.

34
00:02:19,310 --> 00:02:20,630
obviously, it's all using.

35
00:02:20,630 --> 00:02:21,290
onions.

36
00:02:21,290 --> 00:02:22,790
that's how it's connecting through everything.

37
00:02:22,790 --> 00:02:24,730
so it is very secure, right?

38
00:02:24,730 --> 00:02:28,090
there's a checkbox here saying use tor for bitcoin network under the settings.

39
00:02:28,090 --> 00:02:28,970
we want to do that.

40
00:02:28,970 --> 00:02:34,490
but all you really need to do is go to the buy page and you can start looking at how to actually buy something like bitcoin.

41
00:02:34,490 --> 00:02:36,410
you can also buy monero through here.

42
00:02:36,410 --> 00:02:41,320
so this works for both monero and bitcoin, but bitcoin is the main thing we're talking about in this video.

43
00:02:41,420 --> 00:02:43,390
and there's a lot of different ways to buy it.

44
00:02:43,390 --> 00:02:48,030
so the payment method is when you want to look at when considering which way to actually purchase the bitcoin.

45
00:02:48,030 --> 00:02:49,130
there is zelle, right?

46
00:02:49,130 --> 00:02:54,630
if you have zelle with popular banking applications, although that does tie to your name, so you have to be careful there.

47
00:02:54,630 --> 00:02:56,770
but this is peer to- peer, right?

48
00:02:56,770 --> 00:02:59,810
the idea is this is peer to- peer, so it's a little more secure, right?

49
00:02:59,810 --> 00:03:04,400
a single person's probably not going to care, but you also don't really know who is collecting that information.

50
00:03:04,540 --> 00:03:09,280
there is strike, which if you click on this, you can kind of get more information about what it is.

51
00:03:09,860 --> 00:03:12,920
there is strike as well, which is another type of payment method.

52
00:03:12,940 --> 00:03:23,250
there is just general banks, ach, and then there's specifically cash by mail, which can be an interesting way to do it, but it does take a little longer to get, obviously, because you have to mail it and then do that.

53
00:03:23,250 --> 00:03:27,920
so what's valuable on this page is the account info, like how long have these accounts existed?

54
00:03:28,740 --> 00:03:31,350
and some of the accounts are even a bit more verified.

55
00:03:31,350 --> 00:03:35,040
they've completed a lot of transactions and verified to be trustworthy.

56
00:03:35,100 --> 00:03:42,920
if you didn't like anything they're offering, you can go to the top right here and create a new offer, but you do need to set up payment accounts to actually get started.

57
00:03:42,980 --> 00:03:47,730
to do that, you can add a new account and you can add payment methods in here and there are a ton.

58
00:03:47,730 --> 00:03:53,070
so this can accept pretty much any way you are able to pay, you can add in here.

59
00:03:53,070 --> 00:03:59,250
and cash by mail is probably going to be the most anonymous way, but you'd have to put some address here, all that information in here.

60
00:03:59,250 --> 00:04:01,090
so there's a lot of different options in here.

61
00:04:01,090 --> 00:04:06,880
definitely explore this now, but this is going to be one of the most more anonymous ways specifically to get bitcoin.

62
00:04:06,980 --> 00:04:11,310
but this is why i say for most situations, better just to start with monero from an exchange.

63
00:04:11,310 --> 00:04:13,560
this can get a little bit involved, a little bit complicated.

64
00:04:14,060 --> 00:04:18,610
so much easier to start with just purchasing, go to regular exchange, purchase monero, then just transfer it.

65
00:04:18,610 --> 00:04:23,320
if you really want, you can swap it or do some sort of coin join and then you can move on with your life.

66
00:04:23,900 --> 00:04:25,950
so if you have any questions on this, let me know.

67
00:04:25,950 --> 00:04:36,080
otherwise, this is the basic basic method for peer to- peer transactions and purchasing using to purchase bitcoin or xmr or some other cryptocurrencies that are available here.
