What is Tor?
Tor Browser is a free, open-source browser that protects your identity online using a decentralized network. The name “Tor” stands for The Onion Router because your connection is routed through multiple encrypted nodes — like the layers of an onion.
These layers hide your IP address, location, and browsing habits.

Tor also allows access to
.onion sites, which exist only within the Tor network — many Bitcoin services offer .onion endpoints for users who value privacy.Breaking the Myths
Mainstream narratives often label Tor as “the browser for cybercriminals on the dark web.” That couldn’t be further from the truth.
I like to use a simple analogy:
“Tor is like a kitchen knife: useful, necessary, available to everyone. The problem isn’t the tool — it’s how it’s used.”
Privacy is not a crime. It’s a right.
And for Bitcoiners, it’s part of our digital sovereignty.

- đźš« Minimizes your digital footprint when avoiding KYC
- 🧠Trains you in good privacy hygiene
- 🕵️‍♂️ Helps bypass censorship or regional restrictions
Tor is more than just a browser.
It’s a shield in the cyber-world.
