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.
