Before you begin spending your BTC, keep in mind a few things:
- Bitcoin is NOT anonymous; if you buy from an exchange and being spending, it can be traced effortlessly
- Mixers and tumblers only provide obfuscation and can often be useless as you could be trading your coins for dirty crypto
Follow this to anonymize your coins instead:
-
Convert your BTC to XMR (Monero) using an atomic swap. You can find a swap provider on unstoppableswap.net . This prevents fees that may incur from a regular exchange or swapping service.
-
Use a swapping service to convert the XMR back to BTC. Unfortunately, atomic swaps do not exist yet for XMR → BTC, so you will need to use a swapping service such as any listed below.
Non-KYC swapping services:
- sideshift.ai
- fixedfloat.com
- bisq.network
- xchange.me
- OPTIONAL: Consider using Wasabi Wallet (wasabiwallet.io) as your BTC wallet, as it provides an implementation of CoinJoin, allowing you to cover your tracks when spending Bitcoin.
