 Tethers ponzi makes up well over half of daily trade volume for Bitcoin propping up and artificially inflating it's true market price with tokens it prints out of thin air. Bad news for Bitcoin price when Tether pops.

Monero might never ponzi pump like Bitcoin, but it's price is actually grounded in it's real organic use not speculation. 
It's also not an expensive NFT surveillance chain.

If we're talking about unfounded claims of backdoors...don't forget to mention that the NSA designed the SHA-2 cryptographic hash functions, that SHA-256 falls under, and oversees the government agency NIST that produced ECDSA. 
Both used in Bitcoin!...But not in Monero!

Sleep tight 😨
