Thanks a lot. If I understand correctly, xmr's privacy is actually the cause of the lack of "global roar".

One thing that has kept me from Bitcoin is the somewhat unnerving thought that the second you spend any of it for something tangible, your whole financial history is instantly identifiable. Which... I don't really know what I am to think of it. You are fully tied to a "digital ID", but you cannot be controlled anyway? Of course you could have hundreds of wallets.

Just pondering, thanks anyway!
