    Monero People are actually working very hard to build a circular economy and use Monero as a daily currency. I am also extremely glad that Lady Bird exists because while it is not ready yet, I think it’s going to end up being an escape hatch for when Mozilla finally kicks the bucket.

        Monero is intensely focused on being the world’s best private digital cash system for making purchases on a day-to-day basis, such as your coffee from Starbucks, your items on Amazon, etc. It is uniquely positioned because governments absolutely cannot stand it, but it provides privacy for those who use it, and so the government cannot stop it, even though they absolutely wish they could.

            We really don’t have to advocate or evangelize for it much considering the fact that it’s completely used on the dark net for drug purchases. Love them or hate them. Criminals are the first ones to adapt. New better technology. And then everybody else follows on after that. That video is a lot of guesswork and most of it is completely solvable either today or in the very near future. The idea that they can trace Monero depends on compromised nodes which is fixed by running your own node or using somebody you trust as a node provider trading with a centralized exchange which is easily solved by not trading with a centralized exchange, and ring signature weaknesses that are well-known and in the process of being fixed.
