  What’s the point though? Cash is anonymous anyways

    Well, every transaction made with your bank is tracked. Doing it the way i am the bank only sees a single transaction to the exchange and the exchange sees a buy. After that the trail goes dark. I try to support small businesses that take monero directly like gratuitas.org when possible. The giftcards are for the big brands that would not be easy to get to accept it. If a small mom and pop type wants to accept it i sill use them first. Take gratuitas as an example, their coffee is more expensive than the big box. I choose to buy it anyway because they dont convert the monero back to dollars wgen they get it.

      Okay, that makes sense and thanks for informing about gratuitas.org . However, when buying groceries locally at a store, I always pay with anon cash and not via bank, so in that case using giftcards bought with monero seems redundand.

        Yeah, that would be redundant and good on you for fighting the good fight smand using cssh. You are fighting for privacy IRL while i am fighting for privacy online. Both are super important.

  That looks like you’re a drug dealer

    Just because it looks that way does not mean it is. And tbf, being a drug dealer is not an issue imo as the problem is governmyth tellinf people what they can and cannot put in their own bodies. If drugs were legal most people would use more mild forms of the drugs and use them more responsibly.

      Well that’s weird but besides the point I’m trying to make. I’m wondering how do you get money into your wallet enough to regularly pay bills and groceries in monero and exclusively pay with gift cards? Are you roleplaying that you mine it all?

        Ah, no i actually do buy it. However the exchange i use doesnt support it so i do have to do a conversion. I would love to mine it all or get paid in it but alas, thats not to be at least for now.
