Totally agree! Monero is killing it on both dark and white markets. People want privacy and security, and it shows! Thanks for breaking it down so clearly! 🔒💰 #MoneroMadness

Well, if something is used more than any other thing, doesn't necessarily mean it is better. We have tons of examples in real life. For example, Linux is way better than Windows, and yet 98% of people continue to use Windows. People have their believes.

You are talking about different things, when you have your life and freedom in danger you will use the best for the job, and it's not a case of preference because of pride or comfort. This is life or death use case, and is in extreme cases that you see what is the best. But your point is truth in the way that in not a life or death case people tend to not choose the best solution, look to btc market cap for exemple 👀😉

Do you think Monero will overtake bitcoin in about 10-15 years or so? I think it might

In terms of price i don't think because bitcoin have daddy state and ETFs cover, but who knows the future, but i think is possible to have more % of price growing than bitcoin in that terms (10-15 years). Let's see what happens next

Lol

There's at least one DNM using LN ( Tor-based instance of @Shopstr Markets ), so it can't be 0%. If you can see the flow of transactions (and thus are able to compare currency flows to those of other currencies) on a DNM, it's not private. People spend Monero more because it's worse money (Gresham's Law).

Private wealth > store of value (gold)

If it's worse money, then what is the point of spending it in the first place?

I wouldn't say worse money, I would say easier to replace. Monero incentivizes a circular economy because anyone easily can mine it, or buy it from the same places you can with Bitcoin*, and it's more affordable*, it's used as cash more because it has the more cash like principle, lightning feels more credit like in my opinion. Monero maintains a more reliable price point, and gradually increases overtime typically, so it's more predictable as determination of price. (*DEX, Kraken, and Some ATMs) (*currently)

Do you really think that who is using Monero is one that has bitcoin and everytime thry have to do a transaction makes a swap? 👀 You don't know Monero community for sure.. That is the excuse that your fav influencers say to have an argument for this, but its not applied here, if that was the case Monerists would be using FIAT 👀

Its not because it has an onion adress that the service is a DNM service..
