No, but you can use it to buy a prepaid Credit Card and register it with bogus info.
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.
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.
Monero or monero, anything else isn’t private and a scam.
lol nope that’s why it’s important to forget the scam of crypto exists
the idea of decentralized currency is great and has merit, but the most current iteration got hijacked by a bunch of con artists.
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.
Monero solves all these problems, it’s the closest we have ever gotten to digital cash.
It’s untrackable. Nobody can see what you spent, and what you have. It’s private
It’s fungible. Each unit has no history, so it can’t be tainted, a dollar is a dollar is a dollar. Applies here
If you hold your own wallet, which you should, you don’t have the risk of an exit scam. Because you’re holding your own coins. What’s the expression, not your wallet not your coins?
