Whole place glows like it's bioluminescent at this point.
A shame really.
I really liked being able to buy Monero with PayPal on LocalMarket and sellers always used TG, bit of a scam exchange rate wise but well worth it for small domestic DNM orders without fucking with KYC data harvesting ops like exchanges etc. and then have to mess with atomic swaps and whatnot just because the gov't fascists-in-chief used my taxes to ban BTC ATMs from back in the day.
I imagine the sellers used this to launder money they made as vendors on DNMs or some such enterprise.
I know some of these words
monero (xmr) is an untraceable cryptocurency
TG is a bank
KYC means know your costumer
atomic swaps are a way of buying some crypto for other crypto
DNMs I think are darknet markets
TG is Telegram but you got the rest of it right
