Cash

However there is a project called gnu taler that seems promising. taler.net

Ilandar,

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.

pkotrcka,

Cash has its own disadvantages (for businesses). But yes, as a privacy option, it is one of the few.

Goldbacks. Not popular by many means

reddig33,

It’s called “cash”.

shortwavesurfer,

Was going to suggest monero, but others beat me to it

ReversedCookie,

Okay

XTL,

There’s a button for that: ⬆️

aejinei,

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.

But how do you pay causual things with it?

Disaster,
myself,

put it in their hand and say “here you go”

ReversedCookie,

Not everything accepts crypto currency sadly, and cash yea. Standard solution, but you can’t use cash for online payments.

That is why it is important to promote the use of crypto and use crypto as much as possible. There are many online stores and services that take crypto.

If you wish to only use Monero but a store only takes bitcoin, use a swap service when paying.

jackoneill,

lol nope that’s why it’s important to forget the scam of crypto exists

utopianrevolt,

the idea of decentralized currency is great and has merit, but the most current iteration got hijacked by a bunch of con artists.

stevehobbes,

And most of them aren’t anonymous at all. You can correlate transactions pretty quickly, because every transaction is on the chain. You can track where every bitcoin went. As soon as you break one link you can follow the chain.

Good luck doing that with cash.

Blockchain has a few - really only a few - somewhat compelling use cases. Currency isn’t one of them.

cooopsspace,

Monero or monero, anything else isn’t private and a scam.

chriscrutch,

If your purpose for using cash or Monero is privacy, that’s fine. If your purpose is to avoid paying fees to third parties just for the privilege of paying by a certain method, the swap service just takes the place of Visa/Mastercard.

No, but you can use it to buy a prepaid Credit Card and register it with bogus info.

Monero’s value is a roller coaster ride
