Can you really use it to pay for things and convert received money back to USD? Is it really private and not trackable unlike bitcoin?

any on ramp/off ramp is gonna compromise your privacy. The issue with bitcoin is that anyone can just see how you transact with your public key and associate it with an onramp/offramp to tie those transactions to you.

You can use it to pay for a lot of things. Mainly illegal things.

It's my favorite crypto in terms of utility but no one uses it. It's fully anonymous so on paper that makes it more useful than bitcoin, but unless you're paying for illegal things, it's not really useful in practice. I paid for my VPN with it, that's about it.

Monero is for drugs and child pussy, the payments infrastructure isn't there yet to support most other things unfortunately

If you aren't caught up with all of the latest monero-specific research, heuristics can guess your transactions with 99% accuracy. It's in bad shape for a few years now.

Do we have better option than Monero ?

>>60740502
According to DeepSeek, there's no method that tracks monero

Bullshit. Cite your sources, you lying faggot. Monero-only darknet markets are only growing in number, and those guys clearly have the most to lose by relying on flawed tech.

I read somewhere else someone was out is trying to make a 51% attack, that sounds like a bunch of toasted cpus.
But i guess being asic resistant drives away greedy miners, and the attack failed, there's lots of money but the option of private nodes snd such maybe a giant p2p pool but is just not profitable

Monero is a currency not an investment

Actually using monero. Btc is tamed and at the mercy of speculators and corporations, imagine a day when black rock forks it and do their usual scheming, hard days ahead.

>>60740901
He is right, its just those markets have to use the best they got
Heuristics only can track you if you got a lead target, otherwise its useless, so as long as you dont have a big attack vector, youre fine

Monero is an investment retard.

It has every property of digital gold that Bitcoin doesnt have.
