Just use the card your bank gives you.

Curve doesn't work in the USA, to save my fellow subjects a minute clicking through the play store
Does it work for mainland EU?
I'm not seeing anything on regional restrictions, if anything their website makes it sound like they work globally (or I assume with anything that takes visa cards?) -

Needs Play Services, not interested. I'll stick with cash for now, it's less traceable anyway (if you use coins, bank notes are numbered and thus traceable)
Monero.
No other "coins" are actually private. Everything else that claims private is literally a snitch. Zcash, etc. Bitcoin was made purely public with all data logged, tracked and verified on every block.

if you're using Graphene, you're probably overly privacy sensitive. If you're [...] just use cash instead.
I feel that's the advice for the people like me, here. But I appreciate all the detail information.
that sounds shit advice. I'm not a graphene user, but no, someone using it does not mean they are "overly privacy sensitive". the person saying this seems to be overly wanting to tell what everyone shoukd do.
another point is that if you're using an online service to pay, you are probably doing it because you are paying for an online thing, and in turn you can't pay with cash.

Well, GrapheneOS is a privacy and security focused mobile OS. So naturally, it'll have a userbase who is in large, privacy sensitive. It's specifically made for them.
And yes, it's shit advice. Kind of makes the entire article meaningless. That's why I quoted it. But this is about NFC payment. When you hold your phone against the (credit) card terminal at the register. This is a real-world payment solution only. Can't be used for online-shopping, since you don't hold your phone next to a card terminal there.

Monero's great but I can't pay my groceries with it ! I meant physical coins.

Not sure why this is at the bottom, the post said use Curve or use cash... cards still work!

Just FYI Curve founder, ceo and part private owner Shachar Bialick currently living in London, was born in Tel Aviv and brought up in the settlement city of Ariel, in the occupied West Bank.
He also served for three years in the IDF which he thanks for giving him "grit and perseverance, which are clear factors for success in business."[1]

Haveno can buy coins & not-paper buy mail/in-person. That can buy groceries. Point being, there is little to no anonymity elsewhere.
You won't be able to on point, but it can buy more than anything else from the exchange for ignorrancy if you're lucky and it is just that at the time.

But cards are traceable, cash is not (if you use coins, bank notes / bills are numbered and thus traceable)

This is under a post about how to get cards working under Graphene OS.

I have my phone in my hand already so it would be convenient to use that to pay

Not like he had much say in those. Even the military service is mandatory

yeah that's fair - it seems like he was an IDF "Team Lead" for 2 years, 11 months according to his LinkedIn and mandatory conscription is two years and eight months (with some roles requiring an additional four months of service) for all conscripted men - so it does seem like he did the minimum and then spent 10 years in Israel and then moved to the UK

That’s very good to know, I usually research companies, their history, and their founders’ background, but I forgot it this time. I’m gonna delete this post, I don’t want to further promote war criminals.
