00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,260
so for this video, we're going to explore purchasing monero on an exchange.

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:16,040
now, as we've talked about before, this is a perfectly acceptable way to purchase monero, even if it's an exchange that's kyc, meaning you have your password or id uploaded and validated on the exchange and your real name attached.

3
00:00:16,260 --> 00:00:19,270
monero, once you transfer it becomes very anonymous and private.

4
00:00:19,270 --> 00:00:21,250
so it doesn't matter if you purchase on an exchange.

5
00:00:21,250 --> 00:00:28,170
once you transfer it out of that exchange to your own controlled wallet, like feather, for example, then essentially you're, it cannot be tracked.

6
00:00:28,170 --> 00:00:31,880
and we'll explore trying to track it in later videos to kind of show you that evidence.

7
00:00:31,980 --> 00:00:37,240
but for now, let's jump over to a popular exchange that we'll use for this video to actually purchase monero.

8
00:00:38,020 --> 00:00:42,410
all right, so here on kraken, you can see that we have some coin already in here.

9
00:00:42,410 --> 00:00:50,400
but if we wanted to actually buy more coin, we could obviously just click this giant buy crypto button and we would need to add a payment method to actually do so.

10
00:00:50,700 --> 00:00:57,170
so once you add a payment method, you can then purchase monero on here or bitcoin, whatever you would like.

11
00:00:57,170 --> 00:01:02,450
in this case, what we'll do is we now that we have bitcoin, let's say we wanted to turn this into monero on here.

12
00:01:02,450 --> 00:01:09,010
if we wanted to either purchase it or just convert it, there is a nice button here under your home page to actually convert.

13
00:01:09,010 --> 00:01:13,410
we can just click that and we'll convert from bitcoin to monero.

14
00:01:13,410 --> 00:01:20,360
we'll type in monero, and we will click that to do the maximum amount.

15
00:01:21,380 --> 00:01:22,030
so we'll get.

16
00:01:22,030 --> 00:01:23,310
0.4 monero.

17
00:01:23,310 --> 00:01:25,050
right now it's about 100 dollars in bitcoin, right?

18
00:01:25,050 --> 00:01:26,080
so we can just confirm.

19
00:01:29,580 --> 00:01:30,690
and there we go.

20
00:01:30,690 --> 00:01:33,210
so our value, our portfolio doesn't change, right?

21
00:01:33,210 --> 00:01:38,730
the amount we have goes down a little bit for the transaction fees, but now you can see our crypto assets are in monero.

22
00:01:38,730 --> 00:01:41,730
so now we have monero and we're ready to send to our own wallet.

23
00:01:41,730 --> 00:01:54,040
if we wanted to, all we have to do is click on here and what we could, we could go over here and click transfer and we can click monero, go over to withdraw, click monero, and then we would add a monero address to withdraw.

24
00:01:54,140 --> 00:01:56,070
so we can type in what it is.

25
00:01:56,070 --> 00:02:00,040
maybe we could say like, oh, this is our, this is our local wallet.

26
00:02:00,340 --> 00:02:03,050
and we can add the withdrawal address to actually send it.

27
00:02:03,050 --> 00:02:04,150
and that's all you would need to do.

28
00:02:04,150 --> 00:02:05,870
so you can purchase from something like kraken.

29
00:02:05,870 --> 00:02:11,110
now you have monero and you could transfer it out to your own wallet that you control, which i would definitely suggest doing.

30
00:02:11,110 --> 00:02:15,960
don't leave your crypto in here, transfer it out to a wallet you control like a feather.

31
00:02:16,020 --> 00:02:18,670
either way, you don't want to leave anything on an exchange.

32
00:02:18,670 --> 00:02:24,370
have it in your own local wallet, but always make sure you have that local wallet seed so you can recover if you ever lose it.

33
00:02:24,370 --> 00:02:25,550
and that's about it for this one.

34
00:02:25,550 --> 00:02:26,550
super simple guide.

35
00:02:26,550 --> 00:02:36,650
for bitcoin, things are a little bit different, so we'll look at purchasing bitcoin peer- to- peer, because we want to purchase bitcoin a bit more anonymously than we would monero, because once we transfer it, that does leave a trail.

36
00:02:36,650 --> 00:02:39,360
so we'll talk about peer- to- peer purchasing with bitcoin.
