Big Brother is Watching You

If CISPA or other privacy-busting legislations pass, every detail of our personal lives will be at risk – and you’ll want to buy Bitcoins for safety. Although many of our foundations are rooted in anonymity, everything we see, do and buy may soon be exposed. However, technology always evolves, and anonymity is no exception.

As many already know, Bitcoin is a decentralized, digital currency that can be used like cash. What many people may not already know, however, is that there is no need to hand over all of your information to an exchange to buy bitcoins. It’s already incredibly easy to buy bitcoins anonymously, in less than 10 minutes!

Update: The following is an antiquated method to buy bitcoins anonymously. Currently, the best way to buy bitcoins anonymously is still to use a VPN or Tor and use a service like described by the anonymous member of the Bitcoin community below.

    With the bank deposit option gone, all other options ask for ID. There’s no way to buy from that site anonymously. BitFloor was another great option, but Bank of America closed their account and they decided to just completely shut down their site. Bitcopia used Wells Fargo and just today their account was closed… Bitcopia thinks they can open a Bank of America account next, but that’s not going to work at all, but if so, not for very long. Using MoneyPak cards on the Bitcoin OTC marketplace or elsewhere is the only anonymous way I can think of that still works right now… Good luck, everyone!

    BitCoins will suffer the same fate of E-Gold back in the early 2000s. The federal reserve and DHS will not allow another ghost banking system to derail the Government’s ability to subjugate the sheeple to a rigged banking system of FIAT currencies. Its just a matter of time before the slow but sure pendulum of Big Brother catches up and shuts down Bitcoin, at least in the US.
