The situation in the US market may not be so obvious, but looking globally, you'll find an interesting phenomenon: many countries' restaurants and retail stores are desperately competing for cash payments, even proactively offering 3-10% discounts to attract consumers to pay with cash. Why? Because this allows them to bypass transaction fees and regulatory tracking. From this perspective, privacy coin Monero is actually quietly filling a real market gap—it essentially brings the advantages of cash (anonymity, speed, no intermediaries) into the digital world. As more and more merchants and consumers value privacy, Monero's application scenarios as a payment tool may gradually expand, ultimately having the opportunity to become an alternative beyond cash.
