Monero is great for covering yer tracks, for sure!

Yup, just like cash, because that's what it's trying to be. It's as close to digital cash as you can get: untraceable, stable, low transaction fees.

I don’t have any yet and have never used it, but if I use crypto I think Monero is what I would do.

Same. I recently set up a wallet, but haven't gotten around to funding it yet. Some sites have discounts for using Monero, such as https://based.win (run by YouTuber Mental Outlaw, who's big into privacy and cyber-security), and I've thought about buying something from him w/ Monero to support him.
