@muntedcrocodile @k4r4b3y The reason crypto in general is considered scammy is because BTC, ETH, and most others are simply not useful as currencies, due to LIMITATIONS OF DESIGN. Such as hardcoded blocksize, block transparency, and more.
Right from the beginning, people doubled down on their investments selling flimsy alternative theories than the simple design goal of “Internet cash”
AFAICT, only one serious project has had the engineering focus to make design changes as needed. XMR is money
@rottenwheel XMR is the only fair-valued crypto. This is because it is the only one being actively used as currency, not as a Beanie Baby speculative scheme
@moneromaxi @Rucknium Don’t trust your money to closed source wallets
@slopjockey @BlueMonday1984 Vance concerns me more than Trump.
@nihilist @makeasnek Monero is the world’s emergency safety valve against overzealous governments

On the one hand, marijuana clearly should have fewer restrictions than alcohol given the objectively fewer personal and social risks.
On the other hand, without marijuana prohibition, how will we ensure a constant stream of new anarchists in each successive generation?

@stealths I think Monero is the best available Internet Currency.
Speculating on currency is way, way outside my specialization and is not of personal interest.
As a software engineer, designing and deploying a currency that is conformant with the design principles of the Internet… is exactly my specialization and interest.
