WeTheNorth accepts Bitcoin and Monero. Bitcoin was supported at launch. Monero was added later and is now the default for new accounts. This reading covers the practical differences.
Monero, the default
Monero transactions hide the sender, the receiver and the amount by default. From the market side, the operator sees only that a deposit landed at your account. From the chain side, an observer sees the transfer happened but cannot see who sent it, who received it, or how much. This is the whole reason WeTheNorth defaults to Monero.
Bitcoin, the fallback
Bitcoin works for every order but leaves the strongest public chain trace. Use Bitcoin only for legacy balances (coin you already hold), or for vendors who price in BTC for category reasons.
Do not deposit Bitcoin directly from a KYC exchange withdrawal. The exchange record ties your identity to the market account. Route through a fresh wallet or a Monero swap first.
Confirmation times
Monero: two confirmations minimum, roughly four minutes.
Bitcoin: ten confirmations minimum, roughly ninety minutes at typical block time.
Fees
Monero: fraction of a cent per transaction.
Bitcoin: one to ten dollars per transaction at typical mempool congestion, higher at peak.
Which to choose
If you are starting fresh, Monero. Easier privacy story, faster confirmations, cheaper fees. The setup effort for acquiring Monero non-KYC is real (a couple of hours), but worth it if you plan to use the storefront more than once.
If you already hold Bitcoin from before you knew about Monero, use Bitcoin. Route through a fresh wallet or a Cake swap first if you can.
