Have you checked out the XMR fork Haven Protocol / $XHV?

They are working to implement xUSD which will be the first private stable coin on the market.

Once xUSD is done, they will start to work on xGold, xBTC, xSilver, and other fiat currencies.

They are the first XMR based project to partner with chainlink for oracle services.

Coin only has a $3M market cap currently. Only 25 cents a coin.

xUSD mainnet is around the corner. Currently on testnet.

Current market cap of stable coins is around $7B. xUSD is going to make a big splash.

How about you compare Monero and Zcash, which is the second most popular privacy coin. What is the difference? Privacy is the upcoming battlefield for cryptocurrency, and if you don't believe, you should spend some time educating yourself on fungibility and kyc/aml regs.

Bulletproofs and pruning have been implemented over the past few years, and dynamic block size means monero will be adaptable in the future to innovations. Currently there are several proposals at the next ring signature update, each of them increasing the ring sig size while also lowering the transaction size. Keep in mind that Monero also benefits from it's tail emission, which incentivizes miners to continue running the network over time.

no, it is a very valid concern: if only people opt in to privacy, then it will bring additional scrutiny to private transactions compared to transparent ones. after all, what do they have to hide?

What chart are you talking about? The monero daily transaction chart is extremely bullish, as it is the only crypto which has shown actual long term growth. The community has grown, the innovative tech has grown, and the use case is growing. As already mentioned, people are buying it to actually use it on the dark net, and over time other use cases will increase as cryptos increase in popularity. Why do you think Monero has been actually holding steady during this downturn vs other cryptos? It's because people actually rely on it to purchase illicit goods. Just like how bitcoin first got started with the Dark net because of it's use case, Monero is now starting to show its power.

Consider this: Many countries around the world are going towards cashless economies? Tell me anon, what benefit would it be to have a means of value that can't be traced? Would somebody in an oppressive regime want to receive monero anonymously for a sale of goods, where they won't be (((taxed))), or would they prefer to have the government monitor everything?

Not trying to shill of meme now: But stuff like LINK which is needed seems to be a better investment to me if we look at the potential gains. I mean people have to buy Monero so that the price rises.

fiat is just paper anon. It's value is given to it because of faith in the economy. likewise, monero's value is in the code, the people who support and use it, it's fungibility, and it's decentralized structure (which is the goal of a uncensorable form of cash).
if it becomes 'illegal', then the people that accept it are other people who have monero. cocaine is illegal, but people still use it on a massive scale. In fact, the worldwide black market trade is massive. But Monero being illegal in one country doesn't mean it is automatically illegal in all the other countries. As I said before, these same criticisms were applied to Bitcoin.
An individual who has monero can swap it using decentralized exchanges if they are unable to cash out. These are already becoming more widespread and user friendly. Or they can just use Monero to purchase goods through the internet. There are many vendors that accept Monero.
And lastly, how can one "ban" a cryptocurrency. It is a constitutional issue believe it or not, similar to encryption. As long as you are being a good goy and reporting taxes, the governments can't be bothered to care about crypto, and Monero is included in that.

Alphabay getting taken down was a lot like Kick Ass Torrents getting taken down. Everything has been more fragmented, harder, and shittier ever since. People who really care manage to cope but as a casual I cbf keeping up with it.

Drug markets was just Monero's introduction though. It will keep functioning there but there will be some big new usecase that will take the price to another level.

>> No.18141311

>>18139125
No, it's just down all the time because of faggots ddosing and the fact that tor is fundamentally weak to ddos attacks

>>18141125
Silk Road (the original, not the faggots riding the name to this day) and AlphaBay were peak darknet markets. It's all downhill from here until a project that's like OpenBazaar but less shitty comes along

>fiat is just paper anon. It's value is given to it because of faith in the economy.
It has value because it is enforced by the government, nothing else.

But I'll admit your argument about monero still being on decentralized exchange that would keep monero despite the ban convince me, indeed as long as their is an easy enough way to cash out monero in cash then it can still have value.

The rest of your arguments are very weak tho even if your conclusion is right, work on that

It might happen one day but for that you need a long time of it being reliably tradable for cash.

Keep in mind that cryptos don't have intrinsic value, as they can not be used in any other way than by being traded for things with actual value if you catch my drift.

Paper surely is more practical than gold, but to convince people that paper could worth gold by itself, they have needed centuries of cohabitation betwin gold money and paper money, then decades of paper money with good standard, and then again when it wasn't possible to trade gold for money they needed to force people to still use paper.

Cryptos might kill fiat but if it happen it will be a very long road.

God damn you are some ignorant fool. When I will do something stupid in my life I will think about this comment just to feel better. In centuries where gold was transiting to paper, a letter from France to England was delivered in one month. Communication was limited of your 5-10 people in your nearby vicinity. News about other places were happening very rarely, and people have a very limited understanding about everything that wasn't their village.

You literally compare internet time with those times.
