      What if it’s this one good-one-grift over the other trashy grifts?

      It’s like asking “what if it’s the good one billionaire” that still preys upon everyone else but has a better PR team to hide the bodies.

        But unlike billionaire this is actually verifiable, and it even got the “stamp of approval” by the feds when they offered 600M for those who can crack it

          It’s still internet funny money with all of the same capacity for pump and dump hype and dubious use cases like “get rich by making others believe more in it.” nyet

            unlike other internet money this thing is actually already widely used by most of darkweb so that’s a pretty big economy already using it

            And one of the “features” of Monero is you can’t actually “get rich” by “investing” in it. Monero is very stable and is doesn’t go up or down that much. (**compared to other coins)

                Yeah like normal money isn’t used for illegal stuff… there’s even a theory that drug money saved the world partly from total collapse during 2008 crisis

                  false equivalency intensifies

                  Why are you peddling your internet funny money in a thread that’s specifically about people tired of people peddling internet funny money?

                  there’s even a theory that drug money saved the world

                  Suuuuuuuure, but you could say the same thing about normal money saving the world sometimes with your same mental gymnastics.

                  You don’t get to brush off how many of your fellow cryptobros are human trafficking enjoyers then at the same time declare a unique and special savior moment for your favorite human trafficking marketplace.

      It depends, in a privacy-conscious way or as an investment? Because in the first term, Monero is totally cool for privacy. Because as an investment, en general crypto is … 😅

        Crupto is not stock or gold. Crypto is not an investment. These crypro “chads” (yeah sure) thinks crypto is an investment… It’s like saying “hey! look at this new currency by this government! Surely this will 100X!! Let me buy a shit ton of it”
