VPS and domain, primarily.
Thanks for the reply. Isn't obtaining Monero more difficult then paying for those things on your card? Or are you doing it for the anonymity?
I personally did it because sanctions made my card not work. So it was either paying with Monero directly, or finding a middleman and hoping he wouldn't scam you, not to mention that the latter would probably have higher fees than a Monero seller. But once sanctions are gone, I would probably continue doing so, just because I prefer not to use my bank card at all)
Very fair point.
