Because an open ledger is absolute. It makes it calculatable and predictable and thus trustable. Crypto is already shady enough for normies.

Bitcoin is a shitty coin but 1) not because of the open ledger and 2) Monero is almost as shitty as Bitcoin in every way, and there are a million superior coins out there
>>30398466
I honestly think you just learned the term "open ledger" and it's probably all you know about crypto or blockchain, and you probably think it makes you sound smart, or think it makes you an expert (because idiots with one shred of info always think they're experts) but your conclusions are completely wrong. Just because it's an open ledger, it doesn't mean it can be tracked back to you. It can't. It's impossible for a bitcoin transaction to be tracked back to you, whether you're buying heroin, childporn, illegal guns or hiring a contract killer over the darknet. Not that I'm suggesting you do any of those things or condoning them, I'm just saying people payed for those things over the darknet with BTC for years and none of it was ever traced back to them. So great, the darknet markets use Monero now. Fine. So it's the coin of choice for pedophiles. But for everyone else BTC is plenty private.

So you have a coin in Monero where it's only benefit is "it's more private" but it's competing against a coin that's already really completely private. So that's why not that many people are into it.

[Anonymous No.30398679]

Two different use cases. Bitcion wants to be transparent. The open ledge is a feature. Privacy would be an anti-feature. Monero was designed for privacy, not transparency. Two different goals, you are free to use whichever you like. They can coexist.

[Anonymous No.30398979]

>>30398679
Actually a completely sane answer.
My only real issue with Monero is that it's not the most desirable coin from a privacy point of view either, I don't think. A second layer encryption solution makes the most sense to me. Something that can be used over any blockchain, that can be used with all of the benefits of DeFi.
Idiots who shill Monero don't usually even know what DeFi is. They have no clue how ineffective Monero is actually going to be at what it's supposed to do in the long term, when people want to conduct serious financial transactions anonymously.
There are solutions like NuCypher, that offer a second layer of encryption, which I own a little bit of, that are just way better for privacy. Much more flexible, many more use cases.

But again, most people who shill monero don't know about any of that. They're mostly people who want to buy child porn over the darknet, and so that is why they know about, own and use Monero. It's pretty much the only real usecase for such a coin.


Also that's a reason why the threads on the coin are so toxic. And why the OPs are so toxic.

Your child abusing pedophile mind is too 1 dimensional.
Monero is the best coin for buying fucking child porn and other completely illegal shit over the darknet. That's all it's best for.
If you want to do actual financial transactions with privacy, then you're going to need something like an ERC20 token (Or something like a native token on Cardano once that network is totally up and running).
You have none of that functionality with Monero. You have this "amazing privacy coin" that can't do DeFi.
OK.
Great.
I'm sure you don't even know what DeFi is because like all Monero retards you're just some child porn pedophile who loves the coin because it lets him buy childporn without the fear of being caught.

But for actual private financial transactions in the longer term, you're going to want a second layer encryption solution like NuCypher that will allow people to use the actual full potential of other blockchains (which will actually contribute positively to society, rather than just let fucking pedos get away with buying kiddy porn) with privacy.

And since there are privacy solutions like NuCypher for DeFi tokens, most smart people who know about crypto don't want anything to do with Monero.

It's literally just for people who are into crypto without knowing anything about it AKA people who got into crypto because they wanted to buy pedo porn. It's not FUD it's just the facts.

Anyway, my issue with Monero is more that it's not the best privacy solution. It's just a shitty coin. I don't have anything against privacy and I'm not a fan of BTC (I hate BTC and own none of it). It's just that Monero is also shit for anyone other than people who buy child porn. Literally it's only actual use case.

Also not just to conduct finances, but to run businesses, to buy and sell things privately. Those coins are way better and they're more in line with a genuine spirit of privacy rather than "hehe, this is a good coin to buy kiddie porn with over the darknet!"

Gas fees are the big problem for DeFi right now, but it's a tech in development and the crypto-wide switch to proof of stake rather than proof of work is quite obviously going to eliminate them sooner or later (probably sooner rather than later)

And for the record, I hold ADA and think ETH sucks. I highly recommend people buy ADA rather than ETH specifically for the purpose of the gas fees.

You realize that in the western world, there is active institutional persecution of racially aware whites? And that in order to do business, those racially aware whites cannot risk being seen, else the entire establishment will attempt to destroy them at any cost.
So if you want to contribute money to a political action group that had been targeted by the financial system for blacklisting, you must do so through secretive means, else risk becoming a target yourself. Else you risk being dragged through court by vindictive jewish lawyers who know very well that the legal system is under their control, and merely being forced to defend yourself IS the punishment.
There are tons of good reasons to use untraceable coins that have nothing to do with immoral behavior. If you are white, you are politically and institutionally oppressed, and you MUST protect yourself if you choose to stand up and fight back. I'd assume as a libertarian you'd know this by now.

>Bitcoin Will Never Be Truly Private Says Andreas Antonopoulos

In a livestream Q&A on Antonopoulos’ YouTube channel on July 7, he said Bitcoin (BTC) was unlikely to ever implement privacy features similar to those used by Monero (XMR).

Antonopoulos said creating such features on a cryptocurrency like BTC “would create an enormous amount of controversy.” In addition, he said the structure of Bitcoin simply doesn’t allow ring signatures and stealth addresses.

“I think what we’re going to see soon is Schnorr, Taproot, and Tapscript, which open the door to a lot of improvements,” Antonopoulos said, “But they still do not involve zero-knowledge proofs or the types of ring signatures and stealth addresses that are done in Monero. Bitcoin is not a privacy coin.”

Bitcoin can be better thought of as pseudonymous rather than fully anonymous, as many transactions on the BTC blockchain can still be traced even with these privacy improvements.

Then they call up coinbase and ask who owns that address. But if you got bitcoin anonymously then there is no way for them to track you.

The new data structure allows you to encode many different scripts in the same transaction where a key only decodes the information relevant to it. When the option is available devs will implement these privacy features whether atonoplis likes it or not.

It's not a privacy coin. It's just the best crypto with the best privacy features.

The open ledger is just one of the features use to market it. In reality it's a ponzi. We all just assume it's got a way to run, so it we're smart and cashout in time, we make money.

*Bitcoin expert Andreas Antonopolous is wrong about Bitcoin*

No ring signatures, ringCT and stealth addresses = not comparable to Monero. Anybody telling you otherwise is lying or delusional.


>It's not a privacy coin. It's just the best crypto with the best privacy features.

It's privacy is so shitty its getting replaced by Monero wherever fundamentals matter. Pic related.

>Transparent public ledger
Is one of the biggest features. It means any company or organization who is sincere about transparency and accountability should be keeping their assets in Bitcoin to counter things like Wirecard, Enron, Worldcom and the tens of billions in money laundering banks were fined for in the last few years.
The thing about a public ledger is you can put encrypted information on it. Meaning you can make entries on the ledger that are only accessible to key holders.

I've decided to buy more XMR.

Why? Because I have some money I'm not doing anything with, and it would make cp schizo cry, presumably while masturbating. I don't know what he's into, I just know what he constantly talks about.

[Anonymous No.30406488]

- news mostly about attacks, patches and delistings

- perceived as archaic and static compared to newer smart, agile and well-connected projects

- might get banned and then difficult to trade with no liquidity

- wallets not fool-proof, users of hardware wallets show up daily because they can't see their coins

- no ubiquitous ways to buy directly with fiat

- missing on important exchanges

- (relatively) high barrier of entry for 2021 batch of buyers and people unfamiliar with crypto

- not natively compatible with ETH ecosystem

- no equivalent to easy browser plugins (e.g. Metamask)

- Anti-Virus stops Monero wallet installations

- no major DeFi applications, locked-out of the system

- few ways to earn money & rewards

- rewards only people with beefy mining CPUs

- no staking

- no official support

- no supply deflation by incentivizing to lock-up XMR

- supply inflates forever

- hodlers get nothing and continuously pay for inflation

- network effects haven't reached critical mass

- indirect governance is difficult and incentivizes freeloading

- little incentive to build on top of XMR

- other projects have far greater resources

- might get tracked in the future

- privacy might get trivialized and becomes a worthless commodity

- many other projects add "good enough" privacy leaving XMR only attractive for marginal groups

- some DeFi protocol with a pool and stablecoin might offer seamless privacy and stability in DeFi ecosystem without having to jump through as many hoops as one has to do with XMR

- stigmatic reputation

- some reputable parties don't want to be associated with XMR

- big target for the government while other coins can fly under the radar

- already somewhat mature so less growth rate to be expected

- less price action means less attention

- age of coins with just one feature + chain might be over

- perpetual downtrend against BTC discourages hodling

- community encourages only to buy when people have a reason to dump/sell it right away

- investors are dumping in favor of BTC and DeFi which have monster momentum

- possibly giga-whales perpetually dumping

- uncertainty about supply bugs

- inefficiency in initial mining exploited

- parts of the code are weak and have never been properly audited (e.g. P2P stack)

- during attacks simple people had a bad user experience and nothing worked

- possible crackdown by governments and central banks on whole crypto space with uncertain outcome for XMR

Transparency should be optional, not the default so that literally anybody can gawk at your balance and transaction history.

Monero enables optional transparency by generating a viewkey that you provide to whomever needs to know your details. Otherwise, it remains a brickwall for any and all snoopers.

Monero is open-source and is constantly being audited by for-profit 3rd parties, you're welcome to examine the code yourself.

Transparency should be the default both for debugging and to encourage transparency in general.
The only use case you don't want transparency for is retail transactions, a use case that doesn't need any of the features crypto offers like hard security. I don't need to record my coffee purchases in a state actor resistant global ledger. Making it private is irrelevant, why am I broadcasting my coffee purchase to the world in any form, encrypted or not?

Fees on blockchains aren't determined by how many people use them. Monero's fees will always be lower than BTCs because the blocksize will expand. It's just another benefit of XMR over BTC.
