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?

Your supermarket accepts payments in cash, which is better anyway.

(I say as someone who pays for certain services in Monero)

Ive spent years buying groceries with crypto. Just buy their gift cards with it

[-] shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zip 8 points 11 months ago

Through a giftcard, yes. I have been eating Monero since January of 2023

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.
