What are the options for increased privacy in how you pay for things where you live?

Cash is the obvious answer, but what about buying stuff online?

UK here. Thinking of ditching cards/contactless for good old cash. No idea about online payments - not doing anything illegal so might persevere with cards for now. Zero experience with crypto.

    There’s also stores where you can buy gift cards for real-world things (Amazon etc.) with Monero.

    I guess that’s highly location dependant, we don’t have amazon in my country. Even if we did I’d rather use my credit card than shop with them though…

      That’s fair, if Amazon gets your real name and address anyways, the privacy protection of paying with Monero isn’t as big of a deal.
