I recently onboarded a new merchant to Monero: a small cafe with delicious food and coffee. Of course, the owner had heard of Bitcoin and so on. And I thought he would offer me to pay with BTC... 😒 He asked me, "How is XMR different from BTC?" 1) Privacy by default 2) Cheap on-chain transactions Then he asked, "Where can I sell XMR later?" I replied: 1) because regulators are constantly fighting Monero, they are removing it from centralized exchanges to make it as difficult as possible for ordinary (non-tech) people to obtain XMR, and that people use XMR as a digital currency to purchase goods/services, and showed him XMRbazaar.com and Monerica.com; 2) if you sell XMR on centralized exchanges, you lose all of XMR's magic (default privacy); Now I pay for voluntary humanitarian activities with mathematical money. 😌 P.S. I onboard merchants purely for selfish reasons. If you want "mAsS ADoPtioN", do it yourself.
