I dont get the hate on monero is a super privacy effective currency

[-] lemming741@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

I don't get how a currency can be taken seriously when it's value can swing 25% in a month

[-] felykiosa@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago

A lot of actual state currency could swing more than 25% in a month. And the privacy that monero offer is a viable argument when you don't want to expose what you do to the all world.

Russian rouble: "Oh, really? Now I don't need take dollar seriously after that swing of 100%?"

Some people live their life by sound bites. They've been told crypto is bad, and a lot of crypto is, so they just downvote anything along those lines.

We are in a privacy community, talking about ways to buy things privately, using private digital money. The down voters have no replacement no alternative suggestion no way to do things privately other than stop doing things. It's not productive, and if they do believe in privacy, it's contrary to their goals.

For the people who are about to down vote me, please respond to this comment, and tell me how do you buy things online privately?

So far 6 downvotes and not ONE of them has a response. That's cowardice
