Do you hold or trade Monero or just use the coin with his direct purpose, for anonymous transactions?

Mostly holding with occasional spending on services that do accept it

Hm, and which are that services? Share them, I am interested

You can shop with Monero on shopinbit.com or buy cards on coincards.com. Then there are peer-to-peer Monero markets on xmrbazaar.com and moneromarket.io

All services happen to be listed on monerica.com

Nice try fed /s

But if you are genuinely curious, here are a few things you can pay for with XMR:

You can pay for VPN, many providers like iVPN and Mullvad accept it.
There are anonymous hosting platforms like https://njal.la.
Recently I discovered Nostr, which is a distributed Twitter alternative less centralized than Mastodon, and there are paid relays you can purchase access to with Monero.

I personaly donate to some Russian media outlets with XMR, which is not exactly a service purchase, but a good way to help them to survive government pressure.

@pound_heap @key_brolin Many of my favorite Patreon creators have XMR tip jars. Shoutout to Yannic Kilcher, who breaks down AI papers so us STEM-educated non-experts can keep up. Super awesome.
