 description: Your buying habits are the holy grail of ad targeting, but you still have plenty of options when it comes to making payments privately.

-Há um motivo pelo qual os dados sobre seus hábitos de compra são considerados o Santo Graal da segmentação de anúncios: suas compras podem vazar um verdadeiro tesouro de dados sobre você. Infelizmente, o sistema financeiro atual é anti-privacidade por natureza, permitindo que bancos, outras empresas e governos rastreiem facilmente as transações. Contudo, você tem muitas opções quando se trata de fazer pagamentos de forma privada.

 ## Dinheiro
 
-Por séculos, **dinheiro** tem funcionado como a forma primária de pagamento privado. O dinheiro tem excelentes propriedades de privacidade na maioria dos casos, é amplamente aceito na maioria dos países, e é **fungível**, o que significa que não é único e é completamente intercambiável.

-As leis de pagamento em dinheiro variam por país. In the United States, special disclosure is required for cash payments over $10,000 to the IRS on [Form 8300](https://irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/form-8300-and-reporting-cash-payments-of-over-10000). A empresa recebedora é obrigada a verificar o nome, o endereço, a ocupação, a data de nascimento e o número do seguro social ou outro TIN do beneficiário (com algumas exceções). Existem limites mais baixos sem identificação, tais como $3.000 ou menos, para trocas e transferência de dinheiro. Dinheiro também contém números de série. Eles quase nunca são rastreados pelos comerciantes, mas podem ser usados pelas autoridades policiais em investigações direcionadas.

 ## Cartões Pré-pagos & Cartões-Presente
 
-É relativamente simples comprar cartões-presente e cartões pré-pagos na maioria dos supermercados e lojas de conveniência com dinheiro. Os cartões-presente normalmente não têm taxas, embora os cartões pré-pagos geralmente tenham, portanto, preste muita atenção a essas taxas e datas de validade. Algumas lojas podem pedir para ver seu documento de identidade no caixa para reduzir fraudes.
+You can easily purchase gift cards and prepaid cards at most grocery stores and convenience stores with cash. Os cartões-presente normalmente não têm taxas, embora os cartões pré-pagos geralmente tenham, portanto, preste muita atenção a essas taxas e datas de validade. Some stores may ask to see your ID at checkout in an effort to reduce fraud.
 
 Os cartões-presente geralmente têm limites de até $200 por cartão, mas alguns oferecem limites de até $2.000 por cartão. Prepaid cards (e.g.: from Visa or Mastercard) usually have limits of up to $1,000 per card.
 
 Os cartões-presente têm a desvantagem de estarem sujeitos às políticas do comerciante, que podem ter termos e restrições terríveis. Por exemplo, alguns comerciantes não aceitam pagamento exclusivamente em cartões-presente ou podem cancelar o valor do cartão se considerarem que você é um usuário de alto risco. Quando você tem crédito comercial, o comerciante tem um alto grau de controle sobre esse crédito.
 
-Cartões pré-pagos não permitem saques em dinheiro em caixas eletrônicos ou pagamentos "peer-to-peer" no Venmo e em aplicativos semelhantes.
+Prepaid cards usually don’t allow cash withdrawals from ATMs or “peer-to-peer” payments in Venmo and similar apps.
 
-Dinheiro continua sendo a melhor opção para compras presenciais para a maioria das pessoas. Os cartões-presente podem ser úteis pela economia que proporcionam. Cartões pré-pagos podem ser úteis em locais que não aceitam dinheiro. Cartões-presente e cartões pré-pagos são mais fáceis de usar on-line do que o dinheiro, e são mais fáceis de adquirir com criptomoedas do que com dinheiro.

-If you have [cryptocurrency](../cryptocurrency.md), you can purchase gift cards with an online gift card marketplace. Some of these services offer ID verification options for higher limits, but they also allow accounts with just an email address. Basic limits start at $5,000-10,000 a day for basic accounts, and significantly higher limits for ID verified accounts (if offered).

-When buying gift cards online, there is usually a slight discount. Prepaid cards are usually sold online at face value or with a fee. If you buy prepaid cards and gift cards with cryptocurrencies, you should strongly prefer to pay with Monero which provides strong privacy, more on this below. Paying for a gift card with a traceable payment method negates the benefits a gift card can provide when purchased with cash or Monero.

-Cryptocurrencies are a digital form of currency designed to work without central authorities such as a government or bank. While *some* cryptocurrency projects can allow you to make private transactions online, many use a public blockchain which does not provide any transaction privacy. Cryptocurrencies also tend to be very volatile assets, meaning their value can change rapidly and significantly at any time. As such, we generally don't recommend using cryptocurrency as a long-term store of value. If you decide to use cryptocurrency online, make sure you have a full understanding of its privacy aspects beforehand, and only invest amounts which would not be disastrous to lose.

 ### Other Coins (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.)
 
-The vast majority of cryptocurrency projects use a public blockchain, meaning that all transactions are both easily traceable and permanent. As such, we strongly discourage the use of most cryptocurrency for privacy-related reasons.

-Anonymous transactions on a public blockchain are *theoretically* possible, and the Bitcoin wiki [gives one example of a "completely anonymous" transaction](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Privacy#Example_-_A_perfectly_private_donation). However, doing so requires a complicated setup involving Tor and "solo-mining" a block to generate completely independent cryptocurrency, a practice which has not been practical for nearly any enthusiast for many years.

 ### Wallet Custody
 
-With cryptocurrency there are two forms of wallets: custodial wallets and noncustodial wallets. Custodial wallets are operated by centralized companies/exchanges, where the private key for your wallet is held by that company, and you can access them anywhere typically with a regular username and password. Noncustodial wallets are wallets where you control and manage the private keys to access it. Assuming you keep your wallet's private keys secured and backed up, noncustodial wallets provide greater security and censorship-resistance over custodial wallets, because your cryptocurrency can't be stolen or frozen by a company with custody over your private keys. Key custody is especially important when it comes to privacy coins: Custodial wallets grant the operating company the ability to view your transactions, negating the privacy benefits of those cryptocurrencies.

 ### Acquisition
 
-Acquiring [cryptocurrencies](../cryptocurrency.md) like Monero privately can be difficult. P2P marketplaces, platforms which facilitate trades between people, are one option that can be used. If using an exchange which requires KYC is an acceptable risk for you as long as subsequent transactions can't be traced, a much easier option is to purchase Monero on an exchange like [Kraken](https://kraken.com), or purchase Bitcoin/Litecoin from a KYC exchange which can then be swapped for Monero. Then, you can withdraw the purchased Monero to your own noncustodial wallet to use privately from that point forward.

 If you go this route, make sure to purchase Monero at different times and in different amounts than where you will spend it. If you purchase $5000 of Monero at an exchange and make a $5000 purchase in Monero an hour later, those actions could potentially be correlated by an outside observer regardless of which path the Monero took. Staggering purchases and purchasing larger amounts of Monero in advance to later spend on multiple smaller transactions can avoid this pitfall.

 When you're making a payment in-person with cash, make sure to keep your in-person privacy in mind. Security cameras are ubiquitous. Consider wearing non-distinct clothing and a face mask (such as a surgical mask or N95). Don’t sign up for rewards programs or provide any other information about yourself.
 
 When purchasing online, ideally you should do so over [Tor](tor-overview.md). However, many merchants don’t allow purchases with Tor. You can consider using a [recommended VPN](../vpn.md) (paid for with cash, gift card, or Monero), or making the purchase from a coffee shop or library with free Wi-Fi. If you are ordering a physical item that needs to be delivered, you will need to provide a delivery address. You should consider using a PO box, private mailbox, or work address.
