 Think about it.

If I were to send my friend some value now and I would like to use Monero as a privacy tool, how's that going to work?

Step 1: I convert some sats to XMR via some decentralized exchange

Step 2: I send XMR to my friend

Step3: My friend uses some exchange to convert XMR to sats 

I think this approach is:
- Costly
- Unclear if it would echance your privacy ar overall
- Time consuming
- Security risk (you would have to deal with technology that offers less assurances that you would otherwise have)
