Up to now I’ve made an effort to use cash to not broadcast my every movement to my bank. But as I see cash being phased out around my area I become more motivated to make an effort to contribute to the adoption of crypto, because that’s a potential solution.

What are some good projects in the space that strive to replace cash? I don’t care about the smart contracts, escrow, nfts, etc. I would like to have something that I can conveniently use for day-to-day transactions just like cash in the utopia in which this cryptocurrency is widely adopted. Whether the ‘value’ of that coin will go up or down is irrelvant, but I do care about the existence of a community working towards its adoption in real-case scenarios, and for the project to be actively developed.

Any recommendations of projects I might want to look at?

      Thank you! So far, nano is the one that I find most appealing, and I have tested it in practice and it works very well! A worry I have with it is that it appears like the long-term success of the project depends largely on the few people who run the Nano Foundation. But it aligns well with what I want, and it is much more environmentally friendly than proof-of-work systems, so it is my top choice at the moment. But it has been a few years since I have looked at the coins, and I see that there are over 22,000 now! So if there are other more recent projects similar to nano I’d like to learn about them. Something similar nano but more community-driven, like Monero, would be ideal.

      I haven’t used Dash, so I will get some and test out how it works in practice.
