Title: Can I be traced by buying Bitcoins?
Post by: AbsoluteMuppet on April 25, 2013, 03:14 pm
If I use my Paypal or Bank Card to buy Bitcoins with my usual browser, is it safe?

I've seen some for sale on eBay.

What's the best procedure for buying and using Bitcoins?

Buy the bitcoins, create an anonymous wallet that no one can trace (look it up on google).  Transfer the bc from your personal wallet to the anonymous one and then shuffle your wallet address a few times.  If they track you past all that you are already under surveillance and probably know about it.

Yes you can.

You won't be traced because the logistics involved would be too grave.

Also, buying BTC is, in and of itself, not illegal (if that's what you worried about)

Don't buy from ebay either.

Why are you paranoid about being traced, unless you're up to no good.

They can't trace it to bust you. However, if you get busted they can back-trace it to build evidence against you. Make sure you use encryption on you bitcoin wallet. Full drive encryption is best.

Drugs are bad but I was thinking something else.  But hes definitely going for the digital scales.
