Welcome to the Monero General, dedicated to the discussion of the world's leading decentralized P2P privacy cryptocurrency!

Monero is secure, low-fee, and fungible, meaning users can send XMR around the globe despite corrupt governments or broken financial systems. Innovative privacy features such as Ring Signatures, Stealth Addresses, and Ring CT ensure that Monero's blockchain is obfuscated -- In other words, the financial history of all Monero users is encrypted from the prying eyes of adversaries on a public blockchain, with transactions being visible only by a user willingly providing a view key.

Monero has also improved upon the scaling downsides of current popular cryptocurrencies. To avoid high fees, dynamic block size ensures that the size of the blocks will increase as the amount of transactions increases. Further, the mining network algorithm RandomX establishes that anybody with a CPU can participate in mining, preventing the ASIC miner domination that creates a high barrier to entry. Lastly, the mining network will be preserved by Tail Emission -- instead of the block reward falling to zero like with Bitcoin, the block reward gradually approached 0.6 XMR in June 2022, where it will forever stay. This constant linear inflation means the inflation rate will asymptotically go to zero while continuing to provide an incentive to miners to maintain the network.

If you still have questions, feel free to ask and a MoneroChad will be with you shortly.

Lets say we acomplish our future where monero becomes the monero standar, what happens to the masses cause it looks like if the goverment can't easily collect taxes and everything is automated then a large part of the population wouldn't be able to be welfare recipients because there would not be money able to give it to them, also while there can be a lot of entrepeneurs i am sure the market would get oversaturized of influencers and youtubers like it is today, anyone has some philosopher or economist that has taken this into account and doesn't resort into muh big goverment

Going from crypto to FIAT without KYC is impossible. You can move from Monero to BTC and you will regain a great deal of privacy. But the BTC will still need to be sold.

You can sell BTC realistically in the real world. You can sell the BTC on localbitcoins. Or you can do the Indian method. You buy gift cards in XMR to the place you want shit from. Then you use those gift cards to purchase material objects. Then you sell those material objects for FIAT. There are lots of options.

Hint. Home Depot and Lowes. Buy tools and sell the tools.

What is the point of XMR if you can't somehow securely funnel it into fiat to actually buy things (other than shit on Amazon, which I agree, gift cards are fine for). Shit, in my country even if I were to buy a bunch of GPU's or something off Amazon with gift cards, I couldn't easily resell them without getting raped by banks and taxman, since even transactions in the order of ~1000$ can trigger an account freeze until you produce receipts.
That's of course not really the fault of XMR (rather the fact that almost every bank in the world has gone all in on KYC/AML), but at the same time if you're unironically preaching "adoption", there has to be some means to use the currency beyond buying random small shit with gift cards.

It'll be great if/when Serai goes up. Or when two-way atomic swaps with Bitcoin, ETH, etc., go up and are popularized.
Monero needs some stability, implement full membership proofs, seraphis, jamtis, whatever. Once that's done no hard forks for a good while, and just focus on UX, liquidity, optimized & idiot-proof desktop and mobile wallets, maybe L2 or fedimints if the need ever arises. Monero as a bleeding-edge cryptography playground is fun, but eventually good money needs to become boring.

>> No.57223247

I think all the biggest issues for Monero as money are UX, and not the tech stack. The default GUI wallet being kludgey, CLI and feather wallet being inaccessible to normies, very few exchanges carrying Monero and the ones that do having shit liquidity, regulatory pressure, being thought of as a drug & CP coin. More effort should go to pro-monero lobbying, education.

Looks the same as it's ever been to me. Buying monero with crypto is the cheapest option because there's a true escrow on both sides, only downside is that the crypto that the seller is receiving may be tainted. Buying with third party payment gateways like paypal or cashapp carry a high premium because the buyer may be able to dispute the transfer after receiving the monero.

If you plan on DCAing long-term, you can sometimes find sellers that will slowly bring down the premium over time as you build a reputation with them. You'll never be able to buy monero at spot price, but you can bring that +50% premium down to like a +5% or +10% premium.

>Wash Trading 101
1. create/maintain the illusion of high volume
2. wait for poor unsuspecting fools to FOMO in
3. dump at a fat profit and leave them holding the bag

When the supply of gullible fools finally runs out, the entire scheme implodes.

TL;DR: exciting price action means nothing in an unregulated market rife with such manipulation, real-world utilization is the ONLY reliable metric of actual value.


>No tail emission = Bitcoin is fucked

Right now, at the current hashrate, miners break even on energy expenses at a BTC price of $22K. Post 2024 halving, that break even point, at the current hashrate, goes up to $44K. If BTC does not go to $44K, miners will be unprofitable and hashrate will have to drop (miners going out of business) to reduce the cost of securing the network, also reducing the security.

If you know anything about the power of 2, you already know that things get very big, very fast. If we’re 3 halvings into 32 total halvings, then the estimated break even point for miners at current hashrate going into the last halving would be:

$22,000 * (2^27) = $2,952,790,016,000 per BTC

$2,952,790,016,000 per BTC * 21 Million total BTC = $62,008,590,336,000,000,000 BTC Market Cap

The block rewards shrink so fast that after enough halvings BTC would eventually require a $2.95 trillion price per BTC and a $62 quintillion market cap to sustain the current cost of $7.15 billion/year.

Even if these numbers were somehow realistic, can you imagine securing a $62 quintillion market cap on only $7.15 billion/year of hashrate? LOL

So basically BTC mining will eventually become so unprofitable the hashrate (network security) will shrivel up UNLESS it is subsidized by BTC transaction fees.
