▲ 5 ▼ Future of privacy coins? (mander.xyz) submitted 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) by KurtVonnegut@mander.xyz to c/crypto@lemmy.ml 6 comments fedilink hide all child comments Now that the EU is blocking regulated exchanges from dealing in privacy coins like Monero, what are remaining ways to buy Monero?

More work isn't really great. Still, I doubt they can stop this unless they start regulating withdrawal to non-custodial wallet. permalink fedilink source parent
