It is getting harder to buy XMR, but every day that monero continues to exist is proof positive of its value, says CoinDesk's Dan Kuhn.
They even included a quote from a redditer that I thought wouldn't be included.
Feds really must hate monero. Guess it’s a proof to keep using it
I get that buying bitcoin then trading for monero is time consuming and involves some loss of value in fees. Besides those two real drawbacks, are there others? That method does mostly retain privacy in that someone could see you bought bitcoin, but once converted they don't know what you did with it.
Why do that when you can just buy it directly for Fiat? Local Monero may have shut down, but with its shut down Haveno has launched and is unstoppable. Local Monero was a centralized service, reto is not. No central point to press on.
Good to see Kraken is still an option for most of Europe.
Strange they didn't mention haveno?
Maybe they have edited it, but it's there at the end:
For its part, LocalMonero recommended the non-custodial, decentralized exchanges Haveno Serai, which are open-source alternatives that have yet to fully launch. Haveno runs on the Tor network and functions using atomic swaps, while Serai will use a multisignature setup.
I doubt they know about Haveno yet. But have a look at the date. I think it might have been published before the launch, which was on the 14th.
