    If buying HRT and using it is illegal where you live, don’t do that, even using monero or other closed (closeness is the oposite of openness and is more neutral term than privacy) money.

    Imagine living in 2026 and thinking that legality = morality.

    I wonder if you’d have said the same thing if I said people were using it to buy insulin.

    Thinking it’s ok to deny people the medication that they need because they need to use a privacy coin to buy it? Nice.

    I’m just going to skip over the part where you call people criminals for being concerned about privacy. Ostensibly that means you’re against VPNs in general then, right? Want to try to defend that one?

    Boot licking loser.

      No, I don’t think it’s a good idea, because someone will eventually notice that you’re using it and you will face legal consequences.

      I didn’t say anything about people concerned about closennes being criminals just because of that. I said that those 2 groups likely overlap in a significant portion.

        It’s a good idea when the alternative is that person ending their life.

        Monero is used almost exclusively by criminals and privacy focused people, who are probably criminals too.

        Your words.

        And again, what if it was for insulin instead?

          Insulin usage is almost invisible.

          I wasn’t concerned because someone would be paing with closed money, but because they would be caught and punished according to the law in that place. If for them buying illegal HRT and potentially facing punishment is better than the alternative, they should do that.

          Monero is used almost exclusively by criminals and privacy focused people, who are probably criminals too.

          This sentence doesn’t imply that I think privacy is a crime by itself, I only think that the groups of closedness focused people and criminals overlap.
