You also need to be able to spend it, with usually implies giving your name and with larger sums also where that money comes from (anti money laundering laws).
IMHO it is unrealistic to run a non-mafia like organization anonymously.
P.S.: Don't do crypto-currency (inlcuding Monero). All pretty much a scam and actually detrimental to human society and the environment.
They can't prove to me that I'm doing money laundering if I'm using monero lol, and I don't care that much because I'm not doing illegal stuff anyway.
They might not be able to prove it, but any normal business will refuse to do business with you as they also fall under money laundering laws and can't just point to you as the source (as the money laundering laws rightfully include provisions against strawman schemes).
ugh, fine, the alphabet boys wanna file against me? than be it, when the time comes that happens, I'll deal with it, I'm not clearly in the wrong here.
well with that said I'll have one person represent me for my community organization and I'll move to the EU for GDPR if they want file against me, then they won't use that data for nefarious things.
