Crypto payment privacy
How private is paying with crypto, really?
Kort antwoord
Most cryptocurrencies are pseudonymous, not anonymous: Bitcoin and Ethereum transactions are public and can be traced to you if the coins were bought with KYC. Monero is the exception — it hides amounts, senders and receivers on-chain. Buying without an account further limits what any site can link to you.

Privacy comes in layers. The payment network is one: a transparent chain like Bitcoin records every transaction publicly, while Monero does not. The service is another: a site with accounts and KYC holds a profile on you; a site with neither holds almost nothing.
- Transparent chains (BTC, ETH, LTC): public ledger, traceable if coins are KYC-linked.
- Monero (XMR): amounts and parties hidden by default.
- No account: nothing to breach, subpoena or leak later.
PrivGift collects only a delivery email and runs no third-party trackers, ad pixels or session recording. For on-chain privacy on top of that, Monero is the strongest option it accepts.

Is Bitcoin anonymous?+
No, it is pseudonymous. Every Bitcoin transaction is public; if your coins were bought on a KYC exchange, they can be linked back to you. Monero is designed to avoid this.
