  learn how to pay all your bills with monero

  This is some of the worst advice I have ever heard lol. Good way to get the feds knocking on your door for tax evasion. Not to mention crypto is a ponzi scheme by default and destroys the enviroment just so you can get yourself into legal trouble. It’s not even private either since your money needs to enter and exit a crypto exchange that requires you to enter invasive information for this exact purpose.

      Elaborate, unless you have the fantasy everyone is mining coins and keeping it in the monero ecosystem, which doesn’t happen.

        There are several ways to obtain Monero anonymously.

        Simplest and most well-known: Buy Bitcoin (non-anonymously), then exchange Bitcoin for Monero. Never touch this Monero receive address again and use your other Monero addresses for spending (u have infinite).

        Other method: Use localmonero.co and directly exchange cash for Monero with a well-reputed stranger. Anonymous cash-by-mail possible.

        Monero used zero knowledge proofs. It is anonymous unlike Bitcoin. That’s its main selling feature.

    Actually, i have been paying for groceries, my phone bill, and my email service for the past year in monero. I also use it when i go out to eat and could pay my power bill with it too. The only bill i honestly cant pay is the mortgage. That one is a direct bank draft and not a card payment otherwise i could even do that one.
