so I can buy illicit drugs, and…?
wake me up when I can use it to buy my fucking groceries.
If you pay for privacy oriented online services, mostly by providing a privacy respecting service, they often accept Monero.
Off the top of my had I know that Mullvad VPN and Standard Notes accept Monero, but if you look for it, there are probably more.
Other than that, PrivacyGuides recommends CoinCards as a gift card store that accept Monero payments. CC has gift cards for several popular online services. They are not yet available in Europe, but if you know that the service you want to sign up for does not enforce using the gift card in the appropriate region, you can buy it from a region that is already supported.
the world doesnt consist of the us and europe. in fact those are like, 12% of the planets population combined?
I use it to buy gift cards in India, currently the most populous country on the planet(for better or for worse), that adds up to… 35-45% of the world population; the figure does not even include the African and south American countries where there is a significant adoption of cryptocurrencies due to high inflation rates of the local currency.
What do you mean by little restricted areas? Because I could do it anywhere in the United States. And that doesn’t seem like a little restricted area.
I bought groceries with Monero for years. Just buy a gift card for your fav grocier.
There’s a bunch of websites that sell gift cards for monero. See monerica.com
