    I was gonna say, you can tell who’s just a cryptobro vs who actually cares about fiscal freedom based on that. If anyone suggests you use bitcoin, they probablyyyyy aren’t someone to listen to. Zcash and Monero are the only two I’d ever trust as of now.

    Honestly, its a massive shame that a technology as good as crypto was completely usurped by groups just looking to profit. They chant “This is true freedom of finance!” while only caring how much USD it’s worth. Like dawg, that’s why nobody takes crypto seriously.

      Dunno why zcash has taken off so much, I believe it’s not private by default, but you have to manually enable that feature.

      Monero is 100% opaque always

        to add why that is bad: it makes those who enable privacy to stand out. those users who do thatbwill face arbitrary restrictions, but also it is easier to doxx the person behind a transaction if there are not a lot of other transactions with privacy enabled
