How does that apply to someone using it to pay for VPN service? Who cares what other people are using it for.
Also, many of those “criminals” are using it to buy shit like HRT because they can’t get it where they live. Some others just want to get cheap cannabis gummies in states where it’s already legal.
You shouldn’t paint with such a broad brush.
USD is just as private, unless you’re tracking serial numbers on bills, and even then… It would be like saying you don’t use cash because it’s used by criminals. Makes no sense.
If buying HRT and using it is illegal where you live, don’t do that, even using monero or other closed (closeness is the oposite of openness and is more neutral term than privacy) money.
Imagine living in 2026 and thinking that legality = morality.
I wonder if you’d have said the same thing if I said people were using it to buy insulin.
Thinking it’s ok to deny people the medication that they need because they need to use a privacy coin to buy it? Nice.
I’m just going to skip over the part where you call people criminals for being concerned about privacy. Ostensibly that means you’re against VPNs in general then, right? Want to try to defend that one?
I don’t know if you are serious, but the idea that people have nothing to hide comes from Nazi Germany. Also, lgbtq+ people may need to hide from their family without being cut from communities, just to give an example.
For a philosophical or political idea, I think yes, the source matter. The dispariton of the state ain’t the same between an anarchist and a nazi (they were, too), because it will have an impact on the mean you want to do it.
But your family accepted you, how about some transphobic parents for their kid, how would this play out in your book? Cut off from any support? Beatten up to shit because they looked at wiki trans? Sure, the more open the better,but right now this is not the situation.

Monero is anonymous, so it makes sense.

Such as what in this case? Definitely not power consumption if we’re talking about Monero.

That’s a profoundly pro tyranny statement

Thats an insane amount if privilege to think that it applies to everyome everywhere.

Oh! You mean crypto currencies, not crypto. I was confused there for a bit. :D
because the buyer pays transaction fees and there is no risk of chargeback so their costs are inherently lower if you pay that way?

you think they’re criminals because they did a thing that’s not a crime?
