If you are going to spend it on mundane and legal stuff and assuming you live in mostly free country use a trustworthy exchange even if it requires KYC and spend it normally.
Keep in mind once you buy monero even from a KYC exchange they can’t track it afterwards. And this will be the safest option no real risk of getting scammed or stabbed.
If you are thinking about grey area then keep in mind that the moment something touches real world no matter whether you were using Tor, I2P or something else. It can be traced back to you. And if you are a worthwhile target LEA will spend resources to track you down.
There are ways to avoid that like using local monero and all but keep in mind those also involve different set of risks.

Do your homework and don’t get scammed or stabbed.
Other than crypto or cash based prepaid debit cards. There is no other service that will allow you to do financial transactions without doing basic KYC and keeping a record of your transactions required by law in almost all countries. They may claim it’s for legal reasons only and they don’t sell it but can you trust them? And how much do you trust your government to respect your privacy and not subpoena those transactions because they deem them to be unlawful.
Touch Grass maybe
Aah well I can buy asbestos legally in my country then. Let’s respawn Kent Cigarettes then.
I mean if you get cancer from asbestos it’s not tobacco’s fault.
FBI OPEN UP!!!
The least they could’ve done is to jail her in NY but instead she had to spend in Jersey jail. \s
I want ppl who defined “minimal quality of life” to live like that for 1 day and then revisit the definition.
Neither did I. Wow dead before arrival.

Edit - I didn’t know about the Transphobia going on there. that is unjustifiable.
There are countries where a government ID is needed from opening a bank account to buying even prepaid Sim cards to LPG, electricity connection and everything in between and this ID requires you to give your all 10 fingerprints, iris scan and photo from all 3 angles. And to top it all off this data is leaked multiple times.
OK First thing GOS team is currently assuming that Pixel 10+ won’t meet their requirements. But for older Pixels it’s tough. Google just stopped sharing vendor blob, device tree, and instead of openly developing AOSP now it is fully behind close doors only releasing source later with full update. But I have hope. I’ve been daily driving custom ROMs for 10+ years and before I could afford Pixel I had cheap phones which also didn’t share any of these things but custom ROMs were very much thriving and they will always. Yes there may be a little more delay for new devices. All the new features may take longer but GOS already has a lot of security and privacy stuff figured out.
I think we should all support however we can to not just GOS but also other Custom ROMs. Because there will always be those who’ll stop society from progressing and all we can do is fight back with donations, our time, and resources.
I’ve been using custom ROMs since Cyanogen Mod 14. I know. But still the share of google spyware is high.
Wasn’t it always the year of Linux phones like Android has huge share of market and it is running Linux kernel but with Google spyware. Now it’s just Apple Spyware.
I thought it would use molten salt instead of steam \s
