They've been going after it hard, it's difficult to find a non-KYC reputable exchange that'll accept it.
Retoswap.com. It's a peer-to-peer decentralized order book exchange. You can also trade your shitty fiat currency for it.
Then swap it to something that the ones you find reputable accepts. If you play it right, you may even gain a little by watching exchange rates.

They block Monero precisely for the reasons i want to use Monero - in fact it's the only i'm interested in.
I'm with you, just saying there are ways around your problem by using intermediary assets when selling.
FYI United States isn't in the Common Reporting System and FATCA applies only to Americans.
Not an financial advice
So if you want to, you can look up how to make an Delaware LLC if you're European and how to make a bank account for it and do it.
Also just use plain old cash if you don't want to do this. There's nothing wrong with it.
They are trying to get rid of cash here. Bancontact in the Benelux is literally trying to do away with all cash exchange.
They have paid ( I assume since it all happened within a few months across many banks)/caused hundreds of banks to simply not accept cash input anymore at their ATMs and take out their ATMs entirely and built entirely new Bancontact ATMs everywhere that don't accept any cash input, only output.
My girlfriend (cafe owner) has to drive 20 minutes to deposit cash income.
So essentially, they are trying to force businesses to not accept cash at all anymore if they make it inconvenient enough. Then everything flows through Pepol, and everything has to be paid via Bancontact and they will have a cut of literally everyone across multiple countries' income as profit doing nothing but bribing politicians and banks.
