Monero is definitely a better option for anonymity, but most crypto users these days just use centralized exchanges. I doubt the government will take kindly on people cashing out any anonymous currency regardless of your legitimate purposes.

As long as the government can print as much as they want then no. Cash is only partly anonymous but is still a safer bet than a lot of crypto if you are trying to achieve reasonable anonymity.

I strongly agree. If I have a choice between paying in cash or in a cryptocurrency, I would choose cash nearly every time (with a few exceptions).
