Bitcoin, when you need it
A few vendors still price in Bitcoin. It works, but every payment sits on a public ledger forever, so handle it with more care than Monero.
- Use a wallet you control, like Sparrow or Electrum, over Tor.
- Pull coins from an exchange into your own wallet first, then pay the market from there.
- Where a vendor takes either, pick Monero for anything you want kept quiet.
Remember
A public chain does not forget. Assume any Bitcoin payment can be traced later and route around that.Updated 2026-07-15 · Payments
