Hi,

In short, since the crackdown on fiat-to-monero started, the only way to get monero that I could figure out was:

  1. Purchase Bitcoin using fiat.
  2. Purchase Monero using Bitcoin.
  3. Change Monero back to Bitcoin.
  4. Pay using Bitcoin for services that don’t accept Monero.

Could someone tell me if doing step 2 and 3 still ensures my privacy, or is it pointless? I don’t see any other way to use Monero for payments which don’t accept Monero.

Thanks.

    It is not illegal to buy crypto or sell crypto. Where the problem occurs is when you make a business out of it then you need money transmitter crap. But that is only for sellers and if you only need to sell a couple times a year then no problem.
