So just that I understand this correctly... Anonymous Mon Jul 4 09:23:38 2022 No.50146238 [Reply] [Original]

1.) I get a bitcoin wallet. That's a piece of software I just download and install on my PC.
2.) I go to a bitcoin "money mashine", put cash into the machine, enter the adress of my wallet and the bitcoin gets send there.
3.) Now I can send my bitcoins to any person (or company) in the world that has a wallet.

Just to clarify: I've never handled crypto before and know next to nothing about it. But now... uhm... life circumstances have made it necessary for me to make a payment which shouldn't go through my bank and which i don't want associated with my real name. Is what I mentioned above a proper way to do it? Or are there better, not too complicated ways? My focus is on privacy. Thx

P.S: I don't mean to do anything illegal. But privacy is paramount here.

if someone really wanted to, they could trace your purchase to the atm and figure out you bought the dragon dildo or whatever. not random ordinary people though. your credit card and identity information wouldn't be on-chain, the atm and credit card company would just have a record of your btc purchase

>>	Anonymous Mon Jul 4 09:40:19 2022 No.50146402 >>50146378 lol, lmao even. BTC is a giant open source ledger and OP needs it for 'something private'.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jul 4 09:44:09 2022 No.50146442 >>50146402 yeah but normgroids wouldn't be able to trace it back. only a dedicated snoop would figure it out, unless the purchase itself involves giving his identity information to the vendor

The company only accepts BTC afaik, so I guess I'm stuck with it.

>>50146378
That's a helpful response, thanks.

>if someone really wanted to, they could trace your purchase to the atm
I'm not sure I should care about that? The ATM doesn't know my name after all?

>>	Anonymous Mon Jul 4 09:49:46 2022 No.50146479 >>50146341 Also what do you mean by "premium"? Is Bitcoin at an ATM more expensive then at an exchange?

there's technically only 1 bitcoin in existence, it's just subdivided into smaller units or pieces. whenever a "piece" gets broken off and moved around, the line of succession gets tracked as it gets further subdivided. this means that the exact piece of bitcoin you use to buy a dragon dildo can be traced back to the atm where you bought it and the exact time at which you bought it, which would make identifying you a trivial task if someone tried hard enough. if it's really just dragon dildos you're buying then no one will care except for your personal glowfriend who will want to blackmail you about it later

>>	Anonymous Mon Jul 4 11:36:31 2022 No.50147443 >>50146601 this. whatever op does it has to have cash involved to break the connection between you and the bitcoin purchase. there is no other way.
