Hard to call a BTC fork like monero a shitcoin when it isnāt trying to compete with BTC, but rather prioritize privacy, which seems like a popular concept around here.
There are things we can learn from monero, things that make it impossible to regulate, which makes it kinda perfect, in its own way.
It canāt be legitimized in the same way because nothing can be tracked, but itās immutable and works flawlessly.
