Some people aren't aware how to build networks and connections and are kind of stuck in the water .
For me, we use multiple 'washers' with our BTC and XMR, shopping.io has been useful before (we bought it before it went cray and sold it just before it went backdown to what we bought it for)
You would be surprised what kind of services you can find when searching onions ;) feel free to DM me to know a bit more about how you can become more "independent of prying eyes".
Some people accept crypto for payment, others will take a prepaid visa card that we purchase with Crypto - essentially becoming untraceable.
It took a while to adjust to, it was not easy but now its just the way we do things.
Anon sim in burner phone with duel VPN is how we do most online things these days.
Far more people are becoming aware of the situation, and us monkeys always love a banana so it can be easier when selling it to the person as an investment IE if you give me 4 new tiers ill pay you in BTC, you don't officially receipt the tires and the BTC goes into a new wallet not connected to you from a wallet not connected to me, you get BTC and an investment and I get tiers.
Sometimes even buying Gold/Silver with Crypto and then giving it to people works too (something they can touch).
Converting to dollars is tough, but doable depending how clever you are, DM me for how I do it :)
I hope you are well mate, I truly do :)
