all right, so we've done a lot of steps when it comes to cryptocurrency, talking about transactions and getting it anonymously and transferring it.
but i wanted to do one last high level overview video discussing the steps involved in cryptocurrency and how would you go from maybe purchasing coin initially to getting it to your destination to actually complete an anonymous transaction?
so to start, the 1st step is very simple.
you need to actually purchase cryptocurrency.
there's a lot of different ways to do this.
some of the best recommendations i can provide are if you have to buy bitcoin or can only buy bitcoin, buy it on a normal exchange because that's going to be the easiest and then swap that bitcoin for monero.
if you cannot purchase on a normal exchange, you can use bitcoin peer- to- peer purchasing or purchase monero the same way.
at this point, you should have monero ready and you can now transfer that monero to a wallet that you control on something like tails.
if you have something like feather installed on tails, you'll be good to go and now your monero will be on tails.
if you want extra precaution at this point, you can once again swap the coin one more time, or you can mix or tumble it or use some sort of coin join.
but i don't think with monero at this point, that would really be necessary.
for most use cases, all you would need to do now is transfer that monero to some final destination, whether that's a wallet on some sort of site, or you just want to transfer it out of that wallet to somewhere else.
now, if you want to be the most anonymous possible, you might add one more wallet in between as a step, but generally, depending on your use cases, that probably will not be necessary.
so at a high level overview, you take it from your exchange, you swap to monero, you transfer it to tails, you can do one more wallet in between for security, and then you can actually use that coin if you're using monero.
if you end up with bitcoin and have to use bitcoin, i would suggest still doing monero for the 1st steps.
and then right before you need to purchase something, just swapping that monero for bitcoin at the end and then purchase using that.
that's going to be the most anonymous and most secure way to actually conduct transactions on something like the dark web while also remaining more secure and more anonymous than the normal user.
if you have questions on this, of course, let me know.
otherwise, we'll see you in the next one.
