Not all crypto is this scammy. That's for sure. Monero is actually used as money and people buy items with it on a fairly regular basis. XMRBazaar and MoneroMarket have ~2900 items and services you can purchase directly with Monero and that number is growing at a steady pace. Plus there are business directories like Monerica that have more businesses listed.

Yeah, I think there's some good crypto out there. It's just that it's not a thing in my country. And that worldcoin seems scammy as hell, plus they are expecting people to provide biometrics for it, hell no!

Oh, I completely agree. I wouldn't touch that world coin shit with a 30-foot pole. As for Monero in your country, you could be one of the first.

I actually use it, but for stuff I order overseas and some services.
