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 😃
The real problem is not that people don't know.
The real problem is that people don't want to know.
If people wanted to know, they would actually know.
That's why people don't remember the past.
That's why history repeat again and again.
If you don't remember the past, you are domed.
#Monero
Every crypto can suffer a non programmed supply inflation, by bug or exploit. Bitcoin was exploited in early days, Stellar was exploited in 2017 and that problem will eventually come to Monero one day, maybe it's already here, we don't know, and maybe Bitcoin is actually exploited, we don't know, are you checking every transactions? For reducing the risk, like in Bitcoin, each Monero block contain the Coinbase Transaction where the new xmr created is public: around 0.6 per block (2 minutes) but an exploit is different, I repeat, Bitcoin can be exploited and the exploit will eventually be discovered many months or years later, but honestly, if it will happen only 1 time, this will be a catastrophe. Btc created by exploit will probably be immediately send on exchange, imagine 1 million btc droped out of thin air... I hope it will never happen on any network.
Each Bitcoin is unique, if you find the good one, you will be able to go to jail, even if you haven't do anything wrong...
Privacy is needed, it require fungibility, which is in Monero
The main concept of Blockchain is to hold data (transactions) forever, impossible to modify or delete. We don't want that in web, an article for example can be modified. The Blockchain usage will be good if we want an archive system. The Blockchain is an archive system where present data can't be touched, it's just possible to add new data, but in IPFS, data can be removed, so it's different I guess
I don't understand what you focus on "furry porn" but Monero is probably the most private digital currency. For now, I didn't see any real article pushing evidence that Monero was cracked, and it will probably do even better in the future, so it should be safe to buy your "furry porn" with Monero ^^
Definition of cryptography: Any of various mathematical techniques for encrypting and decrypting data in order to keep it private when transmitted or stored electronically.
Where Bitcoin's transactions are private when all transactions are disclosed to everyone and a wallet is linked to a real person by KYC ?!
No privacy given here... Monero fix it 😉
I have something better: I will give you my Monero address and you will give me the receiver and the amount

I didn't coinjoin or anything special, I just receive an address to send money and I sent. As simple as that 😉
Bitcoin wasn't private at all, never. It was and it is pseudonymous, not anonymous. In the early days, people bought with Paypal, credit card without KYC, but there was a trace, withdraw to an address which is perfectly public like all the blockchain... Just now it's worse with KYC and ChainAnalysis... People believing Bitcoin is good again surveillance are fool
Some Bitcoiners are so arrogant, being disrespectful is probably not the way to go.
Charles Hoskinson is probably smarter than many of us, we can of course disagree with him but it's stupid to insult him.
"Israel has destroyed more than half of Gaza's healthcare ressources" MAYBE BECAUSE HAMAS USE HOSPITALS TO LAUNCH ROCKETS FROM... what hypocrites are you, you should blame HAMAS for the situation, HAMAS is responsible, they started the war, HAMAS use Gaza population as a human shield, HAMAS use hospitals, schools, mosques, houses to store and launch rockets to ISRAEL. It's a shame to not blame HAMAS for this situation.
Binance... Binance... after selling fake Monero on spot (impossible to withdraw so many times), they did a future for "controlling the price"
The system will do everything possible to stop Monero ascension, but they will fail because Monero adoption is unstoppable, as far they will push CBDC Monero will rise 😄

"We must defend our own privacy if we expect to have any. We must come together and create systems which allow anonymous transactions to take place. People have been defending their own privacy for centuries with whispers, darkness, envelopes, closed doors, secret handshakes, and couriers. The technologies of the past did not allow for strong privacy, but electronic technologies do.
We the Cypherpunks are dedicated to building anonymous systems. We are defending our privacy with cryptography, with anonymous mail forwarding systems, with digital signatures, and with electronic money."
The dream is alive from 10 years now, Monero is ready to fight CBDC, are you ?
There is around 60 devs who worked on Haveno, the project is open source, if someone do shit, fork is easy. Like in Bitcoin or torrent trackers, there is a seed node for discover peers, the network is decentralized with dozens of nodes actually. There is no network operator because it's decentralized. Eventually, supposing there is only 1 seed node and it crash, the peers will be unreachable so it will be impossible to load data and doing transactions. There is no fees except for arbitration
Giving you advice doesn't mean we want to change your mind, sometime we want to say something but our words are not adapted, the quote will be badly interpreted, I rather believe the world is beautiful, a God's gift, but we the human are doing wrong things sometimes, and this wonderful world is turning in a nightmare because of our individual and collective stupidity & avidity of power / money, We can do better
Well, you show a text incorrect (don't exist) and out of the text. I will take your first quote for example:
In all Soferim 15, the work "killed" appear only one time and it's here
(Soferim 15:10)

the real text is: "R. Simeon b. Yoḥai taught: Kill the best of the heathens in time of war;"
Which very different from what you show...
Maybe you should verify next time
I'm totally ok to speak against Israel / Jews like everyone else if there is something to talk about, but creating fake quotes from Jewish texts is ridiculous, what you are showing is your lack of knowledge and exposing these (fake) quotes out of the context is an evidence of your hate against Jews without any real causes. I mean, the Talmud is complex, like in Bible, text do references to historical moments, philosophy, symbolism, it's deeply subtle...
