    Not all crypto is this scammy. That’s for sure. Monero is actually used as money and people buy items with it on a fairly regular basis. XMRBazaar and MoneroMarket have ~2900 items and services you can purchase directly with Monero and that number is growing at a steady pace. Plus there are business directories like Monerica that have more businesses listed.

      Yeah, I think there’s some good crypto out there. It’s just that it’s not a thing in my country. And that worldcoin seems scammy as hell, plus they are expecting people to provide biometrics for it, hell no!

        Oh, I completely agree. I wouldn’t touch that world coin shit with a 30-foot pole. As for Monero in your country, you could be one of the first.

            Makes sense. What I’ve decided to do is try to help it grow by offering your standard items for Monero, such as AAA batteries, toasters, coffee makers, baking dishes, etc.
