This is hilarious 😂😂
Untraceable 😂😂😂🤡
Nah man you know its the best, they were probably feds, get caught by CIA.
I mean once its private there's no way to reduce its privacy.
Its untraceable.
Its way more secure than Bitcoin
Its preferred by the Seth for Privacy
I mean its in his name, privacy
“They said it was possible and were unsure”
Wait…. Is it peer to peer electronic cash? Oh we don't know cause its ledger isn't transparent. Dang
More than Bitcoin anyway 🤭
Perhaps. The japanese guys who got arrested were using monero 🤭
They are not fool to use Bitcoin, the failure was probably from bad opsec, not Monero itself 😉
Bad opsec from monero users??? I thought you guys were privacy experts
Of course no, we are not, and we don’t need, but when you are doing bad things and attract feds, you need to be
You are a fanatic of bitcoin, you have no arguments, you just mock of the others and if bitcoin’s community is like you, bitcoin is doomed, because of you the community. 10 years ago it was different, people where smart, not in a run for money but trying to build the money of internet. These good philosophy is out of bitcoin’s community but in Monero instead. I am really sad for you and hope better
Privacy experts don't break the law. Anyone can use Monero.
But how 🤔
Also, I know often times Monero folks and bitcoin folks bump heads sometimes, but we (Bitcoin folks) shouldn’t really be celebrating this should we? We should want to develop privacy as best we can, not cheer on when that privacy gets violated, even if it’s the privacy of our enemy.
The whole maxi shot is stupid. Both projects can mutually benefit each other.
I don't understand the aversion... Actually I do, maxis are zealots and they can't ever have an original non-conformist thought.
Lol monero bro is crying again, shocking
He's just pointing out your idiocy.
pretty accurately actually
We shouldn’t be opposed, I want Bitcoin with privacy, it’s called Monero... sorry for you 🫠
The 18 scammers might argue otherwise lol. Hfsp
You don’t care about bitcoin, or privacy, or moral at the end, you just want more money, it’s sad but ok have fun with your fedcoin, just keep in mind one day they will come to you for taking all what you was thinking owning
For me, monero is definitely not an enemy.
As to how, you can actually do quite a lot
We aren't cheering because privacy was violated. That's high time preference and fiat.
We're cheering because those who chose to ignore the maxis' warnings and only learn through pain finally have a chance to learn and move forward. We're looking beyond this immediate circumstance, and seeing that humanity has progressed just a little bit farther, like so many starfish thrown back into the sea.
We're cheering because we feel triumphant; not for ourselves, but for all those who can now see truth a little more clearly.
Stfu
your rationalization is beneath you
smug self-righteousness masked as noble concern for others
GFY
Something does not compute knowing the state is that do more laundering and frauds🤔
A few reasons for staying strapped with a firearm also in this article.
The article don’t tell how Monero was compromised so maybe it wasn’t
The article doesn't provide any information about what happened and how did they got caught
Totally agree
MUH PRIVASEE
MUH UNTRACEABLE
Monero's greatest strength was that it had gone largely unnoticed for so long. But now that it started attracting a little more attention, it turns out to still be traceable after all.
Perfectly private money is not possible. The best anyone can do is get as close to 99.9% perfectly private as possible, but there will always be ways to track someone.
Perfectly hard money is possible, though, and exists as Bitcoin. And while perfectly hard money can be made more private, very (but not perfectly) private money cannot be made to be perfectly hard.
Remember: You cannot store the same value in two different monetary protocols at the same time. So choose wisely.
