Monero bros are, broadly speaking, well-intentioned. The problem is they haven’t thought through the game-theoretic outcomes sufficiently.

I’m not an expert on Monero, but while interacting with some of them bros, I don’t think it was ever intended as a Trojan horse. More like a blunt instrument to break down the door. It comes with its own set of tradeoffs, and a different strategy. IMO Monero as a cypherpunk project is the most c...

Monero is not on exchanges because it can’t be tracked. Tracking senders and receivers is a requirement for VASPs (see Travel Rule): “to share and hold specific customer information with recipient institutions when performing transactions involving virtual assets.” KYC Bitcoin, IS the real ...

Monero isn't a Trojan horse. Monero is an atomic bomb. You don't need to get into Troy, because Troy doesn't exist.

You need both, the Troy horse (Bitcoin) and with atomic swaps (bombs) permission less access to fungible digital cash (Monero).
