There are people who hides from the truth when it reveals it self. The same can be said about wealth. #nostr #monero

You are legally obliged to self-report, duty, taxes, sales tax/VAT when doing sales in cash or monero. So, buying products in XMR, SHOULD in theory cost the same as a payment with a VISA card minus 5% payment processing and card fees.

Either BTC will slowly start to recover or it will fall trough the roof. The next month will tell.

They WILL try and make everything illegal, open source code, free speech, criticism, encryption, gold, beef, Social Media, P2P messaging, at some point privacy coins focused directly on Monero. But, who really cares about what "they" declares illegal at that point.

If Monero hit $10000 at some point. You will see a spike in weird rich people, spending money on a lot of weird stuff.

From time to time I'm invited over to people who considers them selves to have "done well". They show off their house, their car and their watch. But, as soon as we hit the dinner table it hits me like a rock. These people have no deep thoughts, they have no practical skills and not least they have no good taste in food or ability to prepare it.

XMR is truly decentralized. - No PR person - No one to pay influencers, media or add agencies. - No one holding a majority. - No one funding or holding the control. - No one to show you the amazing performance of XMR. - No one to give you an easy on-ramp. Monero is for the DYOR guy/girl, who do not fall for flatter, media and hype. But, wants concrete evidence and basic principles checked, before committing anything. The only new adoption to XMR is your P2P marketing effort as a community member.

I like bitcoiners. But, if you are considering another coin to place some of your assets. Don't be fooled to put them in zcash (they are just waiting for your deposit) or dogecoin for that matter. Place them in your closest relatives, Monero who have proven it's worth during ups and downs through the last two years. It will reward you well (I am close to say, I promise you).
