The whole purpose of it was supposed to be Private version of #Bitcoin, well if the privacy on Monero is opt in too, what the fuck is the point of needing it when we already have Bitcoin? Lol

 Monero just try to be what Bitcoin should have been. A decentralized anonymous electronic money. It's right, nothing is 100% untraceable, but at some point of privacy, it's pretty impossible to track you. Monero is for now close to untraceable, but it will never be 100% because nothing can be. The point of needing Monero instead of Bitcoin is : Bitcoin is far more traceable, Bitcoin is not ASIC resistant, the mining is heavily centralized, same for Lightning Network, which is by the way not Bitcoin, it's something else where an other currency (BTCLN) is exchanged. Bitcoin can be censored like Ethereum is today. Every transactions on Bitcoin network is public, that mean nodes can reject some address... this is impossible on Monero because nodes don't see who send to who, nor the amount. Everyone who want privacy should support Monero instead of Bitcoin because Monero is a better version of Bitcoin, more private, more decentralized, more ASIC resistant... I'm not against Bitcoin, but I will never use it to make a deal, I will rather use Monero, the first decentralized anonymous electronic money 😃

 Amounts and addresses are completely hidden on Monero

Amounts and addresses are completely visible on Bitcoin

Does that help?

Try searching my Monero address in my profile in any Monero block explorer

Find tell us any amount incoming or outgoing from it and addresses involved and you'll prove me wrong
