   I am 100% committed to finding a PayPal / Venmo or any payment processing alternative that does not fall under US Jurisdiction, but I do not believe there is one.

     @Linux @gaufff lol. If it "exists in the real world" it's subject to US control. KYC/AML enforcement is everywhere.

     But yes, you can use Monero anywhere in the world: https://monerica.com/

     Monero works as advertised. That's why the IRS tried and failed to crack it. https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/z9j62d/the_irs_bounty_the_full_story/

     @Linux @gaufff Monero is not a scam. It's the closest thing to digital cash there is. It's uniquely uncensorable, unlike Bitcoin and every other non-private cryptocoin project in existence.

     @hyc@mastodon.social @gaufff@piaille.fr If it does not exist in the real world, that I can use anywhere (everywhere), it is a scam.

     @gaufff@piaille.fr Crypto Currency is a scam. We're talking real money, not someone's home made project.

     @Linux Whet about going #decentralised and go for #monero (for example)?

     @hyc @Linux @gaufff When people finally decide they cannot trust their governments or their money Monero will be there waiting which is comforting tbh
