Payments

Should I pay with Bitcoin or Monero?

Answer

Monero by default, because it keeps the payment private. Bitcoin only when a vendor requires it.

Short answer. Default to Monero, because it hides the sender, receiver and amount, so the payment is not legible on a public ledger. Use Bitcoin only when a vendor accepts only Bitcoin.

Why Monero

If privacy is any part of why you are on Tor, Monero is the coin that delivers it. Bitcoin's ledger is fully public and leaves a permanent readable trail.

When Bitcoin

Some vendors take only Bitcoin. When you must use it, do not send straight from an identity-checked exchange, because that ties your name to the deposit. Route through a fresh wallet or swap into Monero first. The deposit address is fresh per order either way.
