Wanting to sell XMR P2P. What are some irreversible payment methods for an Australian?

Planning to sell XMR for AUD (Fiat) p2p (and maybe some other currencies if things work out - heres hoping Haveno takes off). What are some payment methods that can't be reversed that an Australian can access?

What I don't want is a situation where they send me AUD to my account, I release the XMR from escrow and they dispute the charge.

Made my first maker offer on Haveno. Deviation could only be set to max 50%, so I couldn't put the offer in at (what I believe to be) the fair price of 1 XMR = 1 BTC, but this isn't a bad start.

How would a tether (USDT) collapse affect Monero?

Not trying to argue whether it's going to happen or not. But if it did, I think Monero will be one of the crypto affected least since any dip that occurs would be bought up relatively quickly, similar to what happened with the Binance delisting.

Privacy coins are supposedly banned in Poland, yet ShopinBit (based in Krakow) proudly announced that XMR had a higher percentage than all other forms of payment in March 2024.

Me thinks these bans are all smoke and mirrors and are actually unenforceable. And even if a way to enforce bans is developed, it will only harm law abiding entities trying to protect their financial privacy. Criminals will find ways to use it regardless.

Reddit post about privacy coins being banned

I feel like XMR is a safer SOV than precious metals in today's world (at least for me), because it's hidden by default, and it's stored in a decentralized network accessible only via knowledge of private keys

Here are a couple use cases that lead me to that conclusion.

Usecase 1: escaping a country
My greatest fear is that I may need to move to another country within an hours notice due to something like economic collapse or a draft. I want to be able to get on a plane with nothing more than my cellphone and be confident that my assets will be accessible in a censorship-free way when I get to my destination. I can't think of a better way to do this than with Monero because it's hidden by default, and it's stored in a decentralized network accessible only via knowledge of a private key.

I don't want to bring gold in my luggage because there's a chance that I'm questioned about it by border security at my destination. I don't want to use crypto with a public ledger because the government I'm trying to flee from may be able to track my location if I use the transparent crypto locally at my destination.

Maybe I'm delusional, but holding some Monero just incase a situation like this arrises makes me feel safer.

Usecase 2: use in online marketplaces
It's been about 6 years since the last time I bought medicinal plants online. At that time, every merchant used Bitcoin, and only some were using Monero. Now, they're all using Monero and are actively discouraging Bitcoin. These medicinal plant shops are used by many people, and they're not going anywhere anytime soon.

Some may say, "since vendors changed their mind about what crypto to use once, they could just as likely to do it again." I think this is false because Bitcoin's public ledger meant that it had to be replaced at some point. Monero, on the other hand, solves all the problems Bitcoin had for the foreseeable future, so there is no need to replace it:

  • public ledger -> private ledger
  • uncertainty of no block reward in the future -> asymptotically zero tail emissions
  • high fees and limited to 7tps -> automatically varying block size
  • centralized mining with asic -> asic-resistant POW
  • "no hard fork" mentality causing a fractured ecosystem -> community where hard forks are welcomed

I know it seems that I put Bitcoin down a lot in this post, but that's not my intention. I'm only comparing the technologies. Bitcoin still has a usecase in being a hedge against inflation, and creating marketing buzz in the crypto space with things like halvenings, a public ledger to watch whales, and the ability to bid on rare Satoshis.

If I really wanted to put Bitcoin down, I would not have capitalized it.

Time to Rise and Shine, Monero

I feel that Biden and the US government are about to start a war against crypto.
The only thing currently saving the US dollar is high interest rates.
Long term, the only chance to save the US dollar is to raise taxes and increase
asset forfeiture/confiscation in order to reduce the US debt.
Wealthy crypto owners/users will almost certainly be targeted.

10 years ago, bitcoin was the king of crypto. Then, stable coins became very popular.
I feel some crypto users are starting to wake up.
They understand that bitcoin is not safe. They may already know tether is not safe.
I feel very bullish about monero now, more bullish than ever.
In the past, monero went up or down, with other alt-coins, following BTC cycles.
I believe 2024 is the first year when monero's price/volume will go up/down on it's own merits.
Monero is ready to "break out" from bitcoin dominance and from exchanges that naked short.

For anyone who believes monero will not survive a "scorched earth" war on crypto, I say this.
If monero can not survive a "scorched earth" crypto crackdown, then no crypto will survive.
If monero can not maintain it's current developer-independence, privacy, and apolitical nature,
then all crypto will become state/government controlled (defacto CBDC)
