| The point of note is that Monero kept the person protected. |

| Instead of using space heaters, during chilly winters, I mine Monero using `xmrig` (MacPro5,1/VEGA64/Ubuntu). The money would have just turned into heat, anyways (might as well try to win a block/XMR), and the computer is 15+ years old (eWaste). I know several people IRL that will pay cash for anything scarce. You probably do, too (start asking)... |

| If I try withdrawing my Monero, I need to convert it to usd, and then withdraw. Can't that process be tracked to me? |

| ▲ | 2OEH8eoCRo0 a day ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Yes. A friend of mine worked cybercrime and said that was often a weak link- criminals tend to want to enjoy the money which means converting and withdrawing or buying physical things. | |
| ▲ | OutOfHere a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | Withdrawing it is silly because one can swap and spend it directly on sites that accept cryptocurrencies, as an increasing number of them do accept. Also, even if the withdrawal itself is trackable and taxable, withdrawing it will not reveal your prior transactions which is the point. Pro tip: Do not buy Monero for any amount that you want back as cash. |
