Why privacy in quotes? Amounts and addresses are completely hidden on Monero. Even with coinjoins, Bitcoin is not private in any true sense. Everything is visible no matter what you do.
Looks like the…agencies, can play nicely together.
Sad that #Monero got dragged into the spotlight as the criminal’s #Crypto of choice for “privacy” over #BTC
If you’re still in #XMR & are waiting for folks to flock to you…it’s unlikely to happen.

Discussion
They probably fell to the countless articles claiming Monero was compromised.
B/c that was emphasized in the article. Did you read it?
If not give it a whirl & let me know if you feel differently. I’m △⃒⃘lways up to catch outside insights.
Helps me communicate better
So a crypto ransomware operator was taken down. What does that have to do with Monero? They mention it briefly in passing, but the article almost has nothing to do with Monero. It doesn't even go into the details of how they were caught
I was talking about this:
“While Bitcoin was their initial preference, the group shifted towards Monero and other digital assets seeking greater anonymity…”
I found it sad that they mentioned Monero in such a way. Monero has some good points, but this singles them out as a token hackers shifted to for greater anonymity 🟰 privacy.
I thought that’d be obvious enough. I’ll work on breaking it down more, for next time.
