How to Buy Cryptocurrency (Bitcoin & Monero)
Important:
Monero (XMR) is recommended for payments. Why? Monero is privacy-focused. It's harder to trace than Bitcoin. You can pay with Bitcoin, but it's more traceable. Monero is much safer, for little extra effort.
Step 1: Buy Bitcoin (BTC) via CashApp
- Download CashApp (iOS or Android)
- Link your debit card or bank account
- You may have to verify with ID and/or SSN
- Buy BTC directly in the app
Alternatively: Buy Bitcoin (BTC) via CoinBase
- You will need to verify with ID and/or SSN
- Verification process tends to take days
Step 2: Convert Bitcoin to Monero (XMR) via StealthEx
- Go to: stealthex.io/?to=xmr
- Enter how much BTC you want to swap
- Provide your Monero wallet address
- Send the BTC to the address StealthEx gives you
- Receive Monero in your wallet within minutes
No registration required. Fast and simple.
