    That’s a great question if also been wondering for some time now. Obviously I can pay in cash, and only in XMR, no problems there. But when my cash runs out, how do I get the cash out of my bank account privately? I can’t go to an ATM with XMR or Google/Apple pay. Also then they know information I don’t want them to have. If I use my bank card the bank still knows where I am and how much cash I spent in a specific time frame. Anyone hast ideas on how to withdraw cash private?

      There’s no real way to do it. Unless you know someone who can trade you XMR<->cash and you somehow convince your employer to (break laws and) pay you in those forms, you can’t avoid it. At some point, you’ll have to get money on a real bank account, which requires real information to open.

        Thanks for the answer, best option then is probably to always use the same ATM where I live and at least be a bit less traceable that way. But yeah this system sucks…

          Yeah withdraw cash from an ATM and use it. The system sucks, but it’s not trivial to change for a myriad of reasons.
