Big Brother is Watching You<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>

If CISPA or other privacy-busting legislations pass, every detail of our personal lives will be at risk \u2013 and you\u2019ll want to buy Bitcoins for safety. Although many of our foundations are rooted in anonymity<\/a>,\u00a0everything we see, do and buy may soon be exposed. However, technology always evolves<\/a>,\u00a0and anonymity is no exception.<\/p>\n

As many already know, Bitcoin<\/a>\u00a0is 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\u2019s already incredibly easy to buy bitcoins anonymously, in less than 10 minutes!<\/p>\n

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.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

How to Buy Bitcoins Online Anonymously<\/h2>\n
An anonymous member of the Bitcoin community has contributed these wonderful instructions detailing 6 simple steps to buying Bitcoins\u00a0with near anonymity in the US.<\/div>\n

\u2022 \u2022 \u2022<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 1.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Download and install TOR from\u00a0https:\/\/www.torproject.<\/wbr>org\/<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Step 2.\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
While using TOR create a Tormail account at\u00a0http:\/\/jhiwjjlqpyawmpjx.<\/wbr>onion<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Step 3.\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
While using TOR, visit\u00a0http:\/\/www.bitinstant.com<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Step 4.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Choose the Cash deposit to Bitcoin to email option.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"Cash<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
Step 5.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Follow the instructions on Bitinstant<\/a> to make your cash deposit, and have your Bitcoins sent to your new Tormail account.<\/div>\n
No ID is needed.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Step 6.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Receive your Bitcoins via email.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And voila. \u00a0Now you can use your anonymous e-mail account and anonymous bitcoins to buy goods and services online, truly anonymously.<\/div>\n
Here are a few places you can spend Bitcoins:<\/strong><\/div>\n
Private Internet Access<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 Anonymous VPN Service<\/div>\n
MemoryDealers<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 Transceivers, Cables, and Memory<\/div>\n
CoinDL<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 The iTunes of the Bitcoin economy<\/div>\n
BitcoinDeals<\/a> \u2013 The Amazon of the Bitcoin economy<\/div>\n

A quick search of the interweb will also display the thousands upon thousands of other shops that accept Bitcoin so\u00a0you can buy bitcoins then spend them.<\/p>\n
