Good Lord... the amount of copium and denial from #Monero dumbfucks is insane. 
 donot worry there 10 better privacy coins native chain and 1000 + more 
 name one
I'll wait 
 not promoting any chain nor debating - go2 coingecko check privacy coins list 
 lol
OK bro

suggest just remaining silent when you don't know about the subject. 
 when u bullshit about the subject donot bark much 
 Probably wise if you haven't done any research on the matter 
 another xmr gang member ok 
 Just a user, as I am also with bitcoin. They're just tools. We don't need the "my coin is better than your coin" shit. Expect that from 13 year old girls  
 if someone is seriously looking for "good crypto" as competition there's always more filters to add than just privacy coins, like: only the PoW coins, only coins without a pre-mine, and after that you realize only Bitcoin, BCH, Litecoin, DOGE, Monero and WOWnero are left, removing the forks there's only Bitcoin and Monero

And even if there were more, the best privacy is at the place with the biggest crowd/anonymity set, so there is no second best for privacy 
 nice story bro

literally nobody said Localmonero shutting down was a good thing.

and the leaked CA video does NOT say Monero can be traced.
you just made that up.

in fact
this is all just something you made up. 
 Monero is a bad ass tool, use it or don't. 

Also, did you even watch the chain anal video as I think you're either making things up in your head to fit your narrative or just don't understand.  
 nice hedging with the

"monero has no *mainstream* adoption"
and
"monero is used on DNMs over Bitcoin"

I guess 10% of BTC transaction volume isn't real adoption ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ 
 *After the Monero Chainalysis leak*
"Well, you have to run your own node and use Tor"
...
So just use bitcoin then? 
 That is incorrect.

The TLDR from the Chain Analysis Leak is:
If you're broadcasting a transaction and not connecting to your own node, connect through VPN or tour.

Even if you don't, chain analysis is learning less about your transactions than if you're using Bitcoin. 
 I see. So the danger is connecting to a compromised (Chainalysis) node without obscuring your IP in some manner?

Running your own Monero node theoretically solves (or at least largely improves) this then? 
 Exactly.

Their main tool prior to the implementation of Dandelion was apparently mapping transaction broadcasts to IP (since there's no deterministic way to trace txs otherwise).
But Dandelion threw a wrench in that.

But if someone connects straight to their node to broadcast obv Dandelion has no effect. So they started running their own nodes hoping to get lucky.
Which apparently happens because that's what they used in the leaked video.

Of course, if it's your node or you connect through a proxy its not a problem.

Here that vid if interested.

 CEXs are not your friend.
therefore Monero embraces delisting.

In contrast, modern Bitcoin maxis embrace VC money and degen fiat traders. Because it pumps their bags and they can pretend that they are in it for freedom.
like spoiled children they think that "now they fight you" means price dips before they get a million USD per BTC.

The fight is just getting started and it's pretty clear the younger bitcoiners dont have the stamina for it 😟

Monero bros: "This is good for Monero... And funny." 😃 
 the problem with hating monero is that it still gives you anonymity Bitcoin does not. you can infinitely whine about horses being better than cars, but you cannot deny the fact that you will never go closely as fast on a horse (if you find fast movement aka privacy important).

tho, if you dislike exactly  monero coin, not "every coin expect the bitcoin", then it ain't bad: one can freely try zcash (which is even more private) and dash instead, why not  
 Just sent you 1 sat (public zap). Now find me the on-chain address associated with that one sat. If you can't, then you've just proved that Bitcoin's L2 (Lightning Network) offers sufficient anonymity for 99.999% of people. 
 Are you hurt? 
 Who wants to bet this guy is going to be very quiet in a week when Monero makes a full recovery just like after the Binance delisting 😴

$100 in surveillance coins that he didn't actually watch the Chainalysis video either and just fell for the clickbait titles everywhere 🦜 
 Your seethe posting is good for Monero 
 I'm not promoting anything. Code doesn't care about your thoughts. I just find  pleasure in calling out utter bullshit from folk like yourself when it's needed, and more joy when you get owned then have a meltdown 😂😂😂😂 
 u attitude matters - > goin mute list soon doesnot matter how smart u r 
 Don't wait, mute me now homeboy 😂
