    esp. Monero XMR

    Its hard enough to sell people on using VPNs to protect their internet privacy, trying to convince them to use this fancy thing ‘only criminals’ use to have financial privacy is definitely going to be harder.

      Yup, but the most effective way to explain it is that it’s just like cash. Criminals use cash, and criminals use Monero, and largely for the same reasons. For non-criminals like myself, the benefits are:

      • low transaction fees
      • fast transactions
      • pretty stable values

      Or in other words, it works like cash, just digital. Like cash:

      • businesses can’t track me
      • governments can’t track me
      • there are no foreign transaction fees

      Monero is our best option for a digital, non-government issued currency. It’s as close as we’ll get to digital cash.
