What data are you exposing to the web?
Diversification can be a good hedge. For stability I like gold bullion. Much less volatile than Bitcoin or Monero, which are better in the flexibility category with global transmission and (relatively) instant settlement.
I’m curious. Why is #monero trash? Is it the default privacy and fungibility? Is it the decentralization via CPU mining? PoW? Dynamic block size? Tail emissions? Is it because it wasn’t the first, or it’s market cap is so much smaller than #BTC?
I think there are beneficial use cases for a private digital cash like Monero. Just as there are beneficial use cases for Bitcoin as digital property with an open, transparent ledger.
The beauty of the free market is that they both can co-exist, in parallel, because the user decides what’s best. Why does it have to be a pissing contest?
