There is no downside to using Monero (except the authorities interest in you). 

I don't give a shit about the 'authorities'.   Not anymore.  Not since they've proven their all either liars or slavers, or both.   Have has spent a few tens of billions trying to murder me covertly.   

Civil disobedience is what built bitcoin, and it's why Monero is what it is (the best privacy coin; only used by those NOT so enslaved their 'daren't use it because the authorities might be/will be more interested in me if I do #slavementality  ).
