🧵How to Actually Buy Monero Without KYC Most guides lie. This one doesn’t. 1. Why Monero? Monero isn’t a coin. It’s a financial escape hatch. Private by default. No history. No taint. No trace. But none of that matters if you acquire it through surveillance pipelines.

2. Most “no-KYC” Monero swaps are scams. FixedFloat. ChangeNOW. Others like them. They: • Log IPs • Scan metadata • Trigger AML flags • Funnel data to chain analytics Privacy theater is a trap. Don’t fall for it.

3. Use a wallet that doesn’t spy on you. @unstoppablebyhs - launching soon, final tests underway. @cakewallet - Monero-native, battle-tested. @TheMMGenProject - terminal-based, offline-ready. Your wallet is your attack surface. Choose accordingly.

4. Want Monero for fiat? Here’s how to do it privately: • @RetoSwap – no account, no KYC, no bullshit • @bisq_network – a decentralized exchange you run on your desktop Or go peer-to-peer via: • Signal • Matrix • Telegram • SimpleX - the only messenger with no user IDs

5. Already have BTC or USDT? Convert to XMR without exposure: • @TrocadorApp - no-KYC aggregator • @UnstoppableSwap - BTC ↔ XMR atomic swaps • @TradeOgre - no-KYC exchange No logins. No docs. No breadcrumbs.

6. Never use a credit card or bank transfer to buy Monero. Not on ChangeNOW. Not anywhere. Your bank sees it. Visa logs it. Regulators connect the dots. You’re not buying privacy — you’re building a dossier.

7. Got XMR? Use it. Make it circulate. • @xmrbazaar – buy/sell goods • @MonericaProject – privacy-first merchants • @kycnot - Monero-friendly tools Privacy isn’t theory. It’s practice.

8. Privacy isn’t just tech — it’s discipline. • Use Tor or VPN (ex. @nymproject) • Don’t reuse addresses • Don’t link wallets • Don’t flex balances • Verify downloads • Verify builds - @WalletScrutiny • Never trust. Always verify. Privacy is a mindset — not a feature.

9. Final thought: You can’t buy financial privacy through Stripe. Or Flexa. Or any payment rail plugged into banks and compliance APIs. You earn it by understanding the tools, dodging traps, and staying alert. Monero is the money they DON'T want you to use. Use it anyway.

@Bernanacatl @TrocadorApp @UnstoppableSwap @TradeOgre I shared that warning so people double-check and stay safe. Trocador gives you more choices and a little more privacy than going direct with FixedFloat. Just something to keep in mind!
