Have you ever convinced a non-crypto person to use XMR?
The closest I’ve ever gotten was getting someone who was an eth investor to send some eth to a swap address so I could get paid in XMR for something I was selling on FB Marketplace.
I think probably more people would be willing to pay me in XMR but only if there was a dead simple and fast way of acquiring it and using it, which there isn’t.
And then on top of that, it would probably have to be at a discount to offset the trouble for them.
Cake wallet’s buy feature is not fast and simple and you have to KYC up the ass just to find out it doesn’t even work.
The simplest way I thought of was to ask a buyer to meet me at a Bitcoin ATM so they could put their cash in the ATM and I make them send to my address.
Let’s hear some success stories or failure stories, have you ever convinced regular people to use XMR? Whether buying or selling, I’d like to hear it.

Back when binance supported xmr it was dead simple to get someone you were doing business with to make a binance account and give you a xmr deposit address.
Local handyman, remote workers, etc. any recurring business relationship could map to this . As long as they saw you as a ongoing stream of revenue they would set it up.
It’s a bit unfortunate. In 2018, I was envisioning a future where people generally would pay using cryptocurrency… because it is a technology that works by design, decentralized… how is this not just the set solution?
At the time i was selling some used stuff on our national popular marketplace, but nobody wanted to pay me with crypto.
Now lately it just carries this dark atmosphere of being used for bad and illegal services.
Me and my close friend would send each other crypto when owning up for stuff like paying the rest of the half of the food when he paid for us both. He lost interest, and we eventually went back to normal stuff.
Though with the hopefully coming traction of decentralized services like fediverse services, maybe we’ll also then see a new traction of cryptocurrency being an ok option for payment again.
Dear [Product or Service Dealer],
I only do this type of business using XMR. I’m not the only one.
Monero (XMR) is a private, secure, and censorship-resistant digital currency designed for people who value financial privacy. Unlike other cryptocurrencies XMR protects both sender and recipient identities and prevents third parties from viewing transaction amounts.
More businesses and individuals are accepting XMR every day because it works. Transactions are fast, inexpensive, and final. There’s no middleman, no delays, and no exposure of your financial information.
Accepting XMR is easy. You can use a wallet on your phone or computer, and you don’t need to link it to a bank. If you’re unsure how to start, I’d be happy to walk you through the simple setup process.
If you’re open to giving it a try, let me know! I’d love to do business.
Best regards, [Your Name]
