Or you could just spend the loaded opendimes/satscards like old fashioned paper money. I guess there's a lack of privacy insofar as having to meet whomever you're transacting with face to face, but at least there's no record of the transaction.

It's really the cost. All my ooendimes are curios and I collect them and the satcards for the art element. Opendimes is around $15 iirc? This is why #monero just works. Dynamic block sizing so tx fees are always a few picos at most. As long as you have some churn in your wallet, you are 2min confirmation and then you're done. Finally I do a heap of research and work on the DNMs and there isn't a single market in 2023 that accepts bitcoin anymore. It's a fully #monero payment environment out there in the digital wild west and that's pretty telling.
