Bitcoin hasn't been minable from your PC since 2013. Monero still is. And that's not an accident. 👇

They changed their mining algorithm multiple times. On purpose.

Every time a manufacturer released an ASIC to mine XMR, the community forked and made it useless. Machines worth thousands of dollars turned into desk decorations overnight.

The logic is simple → ASICs concentrate all the mining power between a few big players. And a "decentralized" network controlled by 3 factories is only decentralized on paper.

Today their algo is called RandomX, built so that any regular CPU stays competitive. Your old laptop can mine Monero.

🔹 Bitcoin chose security through capital. Whoever invests the most mines the most.
🔹 Monero chose security through numbers. Anyone can participate.

Two completely opposite visions. And yet Monero is the one that looks the most like what Satoshi described in the whitepaper.
