I'm not laughing at monero.
I think more "bitcoiners" should take it seriously.
Monero and litecoin and even doge should be given a little more respect as currencies.
You can spend them. That puts them in the same category as Bitcoin, seperate to all the other "crypto"
And unlike USDT they're not backed by fiat or bonds so they will probably survive the dollar crash that's inevitable.
If anything this attack against monero should be a wake-up call for more people to get involved, monero is the one thing you can't buy on crypto exchanges, it's being suppressed for a reason.
It serves a different purpose to Bitcoin, and the way mining monero works makes it more accessible to people who can't afford to invest in Bitcoin mining
