Buying Crpyto

[HellCatOG]

Hello,
I am very new to this and have been researching as much as I can, but this area makes me the most nervous.
If anyone can point to resources that would be great I just don't really know what questions to ask.
I want to purchase stuff from wallstreet for personal use nothing crazy or dangerous.
I have Quebes set up and I got Monero setup
Since BTC is not private I am assuming its best just to skip over that.
The only way I can think of buying monero anonymously would be to use cash and purchase them with a gift card obtained from another area not close to home.
Is this a safe way to go about monero? Does anyone accept giftcards? or are their better ways?
This is where all the information starts getting grey for me.
Thanks for all the help and guidance. I'm not trying to be lazy I just am having a hard time searching for material and asking the right questions.

If you want to buy Monero anonymously, then I recommend looking at localmonero for cash or gift card listings. You could also buy a different cryptocurrency anonymously and then convert it to Monero using a service such as morphtoken. If you can't find a good way to buy anonymously, you should be safe buying your Monero on a KYC exchange with your bank account and then transferring it all to the wallet on your laptop. LE could figure out that you bought Monero, but not where you spent it (or even if you spent it).
Cryptocurrency payments being traced shouldn't be much of a concern if you're only buying for personal use. If anyone is aware of a single small buyer being arrested due to blockchain analysis, I'd like to hear about it.
A far greater concern for small buyers is postal system surveillance. Check potential vendors for their stealth, order domestic (no customs) and don't use an obviously fake name or vacant address.
Do not keep drugs in your house when expecting an order and keep your laptop encrypted with a strong passphrase. That way if LE raids you there will be nothing for them to find. If still you get arrested, do not answer any questions and demand to speak to a lawyer immediately.

Cash by mail with a fake return address. Untraceable.
