I usually swap, when it's needed, on Monero or Trocador. But it's not the best coin to longterm holding, obviously

No
Strictly research only. Don't buy monero meme refers to mining testnet coins and virtually bathing in them.
Mostly holding with occasional spending on services that do accept it
Hm, and which are that services? Share them, I am interested
Nice try fed /s
But if you are genuinely curious, here are a few things you can pay for with XMR:
- You can pay for VPN, many providers like iVPN and Mullvad accept it.
- There are anonymous hosting platforms like https://njal.la.
- Recently I discovered Nostr, which is a distributed Twitter alternative less centralized than Mastodon, and there are paid relays you can purchase access to with Monero.
I personaly donate to some Russian media outlets with XMR, which is not exactly a service purchase, but a good way to help them to survive government pressure.
@pound_heap @key_brolin Many of my favorite Patreon creators have XMR tip jars. Shoutout to Yannic Kilcher, who breaks down AI papers so us STEM-educated non-experts can keep up. Super awesome.
Why are you asking us our business man? Don't you know we care about privacy??
I might hold it and I might use it on a pretty frequent basis to buy things like hand soap and AA batteries.
Neither of the three
Neither, i don't own cryptocurrencies yet. If i do, i'll use bitcoin for trading and monero as digital cash.
