You have to do some mild gymnastics to buy monero here but yes this is what I use for sensitive transactions too.
It’s weird because theoretically there is some kind of law that makes it harder to buy it but there are services that let you do it anyway so I am guessing it’s a cat and mouse game.

Emoji of a currency used for shady shit is the last thing it needs tho lol, it would be kinda like private tracker putting ad on YouTube or smh

I agree. 💲💸💵💴💶💷💳💰 should all be removed from Unicode as those currencies are used for shady shit. /s

Also your business is none of mine. I have no concerns and you haven't of mine, thank you very much.

Biz is biz

No but if I’d be doing anything other than piracy I wouldn’t be typing things I am typing even

I am autistically obsessed with niche underground internet things. though that one isn’t really one of them I guess

Yeah, because typing about wisdom isn't viable, huh?
