      No. Privacy is illegal in the banking/financial system.

        In the government-controlled fiat system, you are right. In Monero, you are wrong.

          does your supermarket accept payments in Monero?

              All of this seems straight worse than cash. Is cash not an option?

                Not to people with a financial interest in promoting Monero.

                  Cash doesn’t work so well for online payments.

                  Yeah, I pay with cash unless I’m getting something delivered.

        As it should be IMHO. Nothing is stopping you dropping cash for shit in the untracked economy which is massive but if you want to be a part of the larger system and all its benefits you need to be prepared to play by the rules that are designed by and large to protect people.
