I've long been annoyed that everyone, including myself uses Paypal/ Venmo for moving money around. What alternatives do you find useful? Here's a list (https://alternativeto.net/software/venmo/). GNU Taler looks viable (https://taler.net/en/index.html). I would love to have your thoughts!

Edit: Thanks for everyone's input. I really appreciate it. <3

XMR / Monero - open source, fungible, private digital cash

It usually can't be used with retailors, but you can send your friend circle lunch money and the like easily. https://www.getmonero.org/

If the retailer supports bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, you can pay with Monero using an exchange with a flat rate such as https://exch.cx or another provider listed on Kyc not me.
