I want everyone to use crypto.

But I want you to be safe. Privacy is tricky, but absolutely worth it.

Your coins may be spying on you! 👁️

Here's some basic tips for privacy when using crypto (bookmark this! 🔖):

🥷Use a VPN or Tor/I2P
🥷Don't share addresses publicly anywhere
🥷Use encrypted secure comms to share addresses
🥷Avoid KYC/giving your ID (where possible)
🥷Avoid using easily-identified emails/phone numbers
🥷Use a privacy function/coin

Bonus: Don't buy/receive, run through a privacy function, then spend/send the exact same amount in a short timeframe. Space out times and amounts so they can't easily be correlated.

Do as many of these as you can. It takes practice, but you can start now.

And reminder: your fiat is already spying on you way more. So don't be afraid to use crypto.
