This thread will be posted every Friday and is meant to help accelerate the adoption of Monero. Due to r/moneromarket having only a fraction of the subscribers of r/Monero, we have decided to create this thread to encourage more individuals to use Monero for product exchanges. Until the market matures, we recommend that the Monero community post their products both in this thread and on r/moneromarket (to ensure growth of that subreddit). Selling items for Monero will boost your (and Monero's) reputation as a legitimate form of exchange of goods. This is necessary for the growth of Monero, our community, and privacy as a whole." ### Post #15 by @reddit > **Author:** Technical_Eagle1904 ([@reddit](https://x.com/reddit)) > **Metrics:** 7 likes · 0 retweets · 7 comments · 700 views > **Posted:** 2026-07-17T15:05:04.945000+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/reddit/status/9234fe930798b7642e7f92a14618d4517eaa49af26c19607227e55b3e31da147](https://x.com/reddit/status/9234fe930798b7642e7f92a14618d4517eaa49af26c19607227e55b3e31da147) > > "Onde comprar Monero?
