Part 6/9:
Monero transactions closely resemble those with Bitcoin, with a critical difference: the need to generate unique sub-addresses for each transaction. This greatly enhances your security by avoiding patterns that might allow exchanges or other observers to link transactions back to a particular identity.
After acquiring Monero, spending it is possible at many services. Notably, VPN providers like IVPN and Mullvad are accepting Monero for subscriptions. If you encounter a service that does not accept Monero directly, one can consider converting Monero to Bitcoin using services like ChangeNOW while connected through a VPN.
