#monero is basically a stablecoin at this point.
You can *use* it as it's intended: anonymous digital cash.
Personally I never have much more than 3-5k USD worth of it lying around, because BTC tends to have dramatically better gains.
But when it comes time to spend, Monero is a true contender.
For spending purposes, between Monero and Lightning, I feel pretty free.
No wonder the boomer suits are trying to target them both. Anything that doesn't give them full retroactive visibility, they'll try to stamp out.
Fuck them. Resist!
