Totally. I feel like the Maxi's have a point but also miss a lot of other cool things at times. Monero had a lot of the same principles of Bitcoin, but went further with the security/anonymity. I also found the Monero community really open and helpful on any Blockchain, Bitcoin or crypto questions I had.

#[6] What's your general stance or take on Monero?
Always sort of liked a lot of what the project was getting at.
They good peeps over there so I’m told
Indeed. The Monero community taught me a lot about other adjacent privacy-enhancing tools, practices, protocols, & services outside of anything crypto related.
Definitely check out @sethforprivacy and his podcast "Opting Out" for a ton of good info on increasing your privacy in the digital age, especially if a lot of this stuff is outside your wheelhouse - he's a great explainer & offers useful information on getting off Big Tech, KYC, and apps for protocols, FOSS alternatives, and self hosted options for everything you do on the daily.
Monero community is awesome to me as a paranoid and private individual. Good peeps!
