It’s a topic that is practically inescapable these days, whether online or off. But when it comes to cryptocurrency, all that virtually glimmers is not gold.

Why Vivaldi will never create ThinkCoin

Because he’s been dead since 1741.
I like Monero. Not a shitcoin, used by people and its private.

Other than Monero, I don’t think other cryptocurrencies are usable. Even BTC, ETH. Wallets should be private. Bitcoin doesn’t protect you from government.
- Any proof of work coin is a no go for me
  
  Monero's POW algorithm is very different from most others tho because it brings in randomization, which makes it way more efficient to use a CPU instead of a GPU and distributes what miners mine, making powerful systems get less and slow systems get more.
  
  i like banano because its a memecoin where the proof of work is distributed computing for medical research
  
  Name me a private POS coin like Monero, I’ll use it.
- Transparency of a financial system is also a feature.
- Bitcoin doesn’t protect you from government.
  
  But it's good to own it, like they say: "Monero for spending, Bitcoin for saving"
  
  Savings that goes up and down and up and down worse than the stock market.
Same barely thought out takes as usual.
