- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

No. Privacy is illegal in the banking/financial system.
As it should be IMHO. Nothing is stopping you dropping cash for shit in the untracked economy which is massive but if you want to be a part of the larger system and all its benefits you need to be prepared to play by the rules that are designed by and large to protect people.
In the government-controlled fiat system, you are right. In Monero, you are wrong.
does your supermarket accept payments in Monero?
Your supermarket accepts payments in cash, which is better anyway.
(I say as someone who pays for certain services in Monero)
Ive spent years buying groceries with crypto. Just buy their gift cards with it
All of this seems straight worse than cash. Is cash not an option?
Not to people with a financial interest in promoting Monero.
Cash doesn't work so well for online payments.
Yeah, I pay with cash unless I'm getting something delivered.
Through a giftcard, yes. I have been eating Monero since January of 2023
