But how do you pay causual things with it?
put it in their hand and say "here you go"
Monero's value is a roller coaster ride
It’s called “cash”.
Was going to suggest monero, but others beat me to it
There's a button for that: ⬆️
Just use cash. Small businesses won't lose a percentage of their transactions this way and you help ensure it stays in circulation for longer.
Cash has its own disadvantages (for businesses). But yes, as a privacy option, it is one of the few.
http://kycnot.me and Monero will let you pay for things very privately.
If you want to bridge to traditional credit card payment systems, then your going to have to give up privacy usually (getting a string of prepaid credit cards is a pain, and some of the evil online subscription houses wont accept prepaid cards)
Is that like https://anonshop.app/?
Yeah. The site I linked is just a list of services. The site you linked is a single service
I’ve not been able to find anything similar to Privacy.com in the EU. I also read that Privacy.com makes it difficult to delete your account and they aren’t clear on what they use your data for. I would assume that using a card via your bank would be more secure since they’re bound by finance privacy laws (I think). I’ve heard of bunq.com, but personally have never used the service, so can’t give an opinion on them, but maybe that’s what you’re looking for.
Goldbacks. Not popular by many means
