Solid write up
I like a lot of things about Monero
I'm worried that if I buy or sell it peer to peer using bank transfer to pay or get fiat, I will have an unknown person, possibly a criminal, on my bank account history
Which may get me in trouble, it will look suspicious to authorities
Or, if it try it face to face using cash, then there is another set of risks related to it
Thoughts on how to mitigate this?
To just get some XMR I guess I can easily buy Bitcoin on centralized exchange, then withdraw, then use some swap service.
But how to change it back to fiat when I wanted to actually use it as money?
Because vendors accepting Monero are still few and limited to thighs like VPNs or alike
How to use it to buy groceries?
