I ask this sincerely, what have you personally needed an anonymous currency for?
I read somewhere that someone was using anonymous currencies to buy life saving medicine from "non traditional" markets because they were much much cheaper. Let me see if I find the article
Well, that might be the only form of payment they take, and so you’ve got to use it I suppose. But the anonymous part really isn’t a huge factor here.
I would be a little cautious of buying “non traditional” medication from someone who doesn’t want a paper trail.
Unless you mean drugs, and then yes a paper trail is bad haha.
In most countries it's illegal to purchase or sell non-OTC medicine without a doctors note (buyer) and license (seller). Even if government doesn't care, I'm sure that big pharma would like to keep their profit margins.
