    Cool, I’ll keep transacting privately and uncensored with minimal fees, no middle man and predictable inflation with my pyramid scheme and you’re free to stick to your surveilled, censored, ever inflating FIAT.

      What actual items or services are you buying with crypto? Trading and buying other crypto doesn’t count, neither does selling the crypto

        If you haven’t bought illicit drugs from a darknet market, you’re doing crypto and possibly life wrong

        My VPN, VPS, phone bill, bunch of games and license keys, steam points, sms verification services all directly for crypto. I also buy gift cards to grocery stores, takeout delivery apps and the local equivalent of Amazon all for crypto and use them to do most of my shopping. Other things I used it for is donating to foss projects I use and some just for fun penny gambling/predictions. Once I even got paid in crypto for some freelance work I did. If you count the gift cards most of my spending is done in crypto, usually monero.

        Have a look at monerica.com and xmrbazaar.com if you’re looking for places to spend your crypto.

          “Gambling/predictions” I bet most of your crypto goes there, eh? And no, I’m not clicking a link that says “money america” or “bazaar”

            No, I’m not rich enough to be wasting money and don’t really enjoy feeling like my heart is going to jump out of my chest, gambling with literal pennies once in a blue moon is more of my style.

            And no, I’m not clicking a link that says “money america” or “bazaar”

            No worries, I’ll post some screenshots for you.
