    Well I agree with the open source aspect of this but they are a us company and us companies have to have some form of traceable payments or at least to attach the payments to an identity whether it be online or your real actual identity so the phone number stuff is never going away.

    And I’d suspect that if they ever did accept monero or other Cryptos as payment they’d have to use a 3rd party payment system like coingate which doesn’t avoid the problem of 3rd party payment processors overstepping their boundaries.

    If they set it up to where they did it all themselves the IRS would almost certainly make them KYC you to accept any crypto payment.

    It would still be awesome to happen though because even though it wouldn’t be completely anonymous it would avoid dickhead corporations trying to control my thoughts through controlling what kind of media I can consume.

    Great idea! Any idea on how I would avoid getting brutally raped by the taxman by doing that? See, with DAI I could just convert it over and boom. That was it. My rent and car payment are locked in now for how ever many months worth I need it to be stabilized for. But with what you’re suggesting why would I even use crypto at all just screw all the privacy and tax freeness of it all and convert it straight to cash with a CEX every time you want to stable up! That’s terrible advice. I agree that Monero is so important but you’re out of touch and mistaken if you think it can survive on its own. Haveno and Serai will be the only options left to get it soon other than mining or face to face p2p trading which isn’t feasible for everyone. If we don’t do something now that can introduce and immutable form of stability then we may end up losing the fight eventually.
