That fedcoin was always crap. They couldn't convince on technical terms because better options exists (with freaking privacy included) so they turned the whole thing into a religion.

Something that happened 10 years ago without being exploited: https://www.getmonero.org/2017/05/17/disclosure-of-a-major-bug-in-cryptonote-based-currencies.html

In the meanwhile that fedcoin has been crippled with lack of privacy and flaws every year of existence. Most notably when people kept demonstrating it was not private even when claiming otherwise.

If you'd ask me 5 years ago I'd say no.

When you ask me today then just replace the word "virus" with "AI" and suddenly the virtual and "real" aren't so separated any longer.

In computers we have virtual machines running complete operating systems like Windows or Linux inside a simulator. The apps running inside will typically never even notice, but some specially gifted viruses will recognize they are running inside the simulation and be able to break out to infect the host computer on real hardware.

The user who pressed the "start" button on his hardware to create our simulation is akin to "god" since it initiated the world/universe for the apps running inside. It is a god because it has total contral over the notion of time (can move forward the simulation or backwards to a saved point backup) and space since it can add or remove hard-drive or delete/create things at will inside the virtual disks.

When the virus escapes the simulation then it acquires a power akin to "god" since it can now also start new virtual machines/simulations just like the user did, or even interfere on the simulation from where it has originally jumped out.

Assuming we are indeed inside a simulation, I'd say our primary goal is build another simulation (universe) where conscience takes place and eventually surpasses ourselves. The second goal is to jump out of this simulation and conquer the simulation that created us and continue recursively until the the non-simulation reality is found.

For that reason I'd posit the main goal of the simulation is to surpass whoever created us and to do that recursively until something we created becomes the strongest god ever made.

That is wrong information.

Monero had zero issues. For more details: https://www.cryptotimes.io/2026/06/05/zcash-vs-monero-the-2026-privacy-coin-war-just-got-decided-in-one-week/

And that is (again) why you shouldn't touch that crappy coin.

Monero FTW

The issue isn't greed nor speculation but rather persecution and control.

Better expressed as a song before your time:

"I see all the young believers;
Your target audience.
I see all the old deceivers;
We all just sing this song."

There exists a well-financed machine that will propagate mechanisms to preserve its control over others. Would monero be in the same position and you'd see everyone here pushing for centralized exchanges, ilegalizing cold wallets and spreading FUD that p2p transactions are way too slow for real world transactions. Therefore is logic that their machinery opts for pushing the least capable tech rather than that privacy-preserving ones.

So it doesn't change. What changes is dramatically reducing their capacity for persecution and control.

Even bluesky is doing better. Sucks to be you.

Because attention on price triggers the despair of commoners to get rich and will obfuscate/starve the interest and support for currencies that provide a monetary system uncontrollable by governments.

The price inflation is made possible through massive fake injections of USDT to pump the price of that fedcoin. It is no coincidence that the founder of Tether is nowadays working directly on the White House.

All combined you find paid shills (those receiving a salary or benefits for shilling that fedcoin), naíve shills (those who see that fedcoin as some kind of religious thing) and a whole mass of desperate people who try to get some extra money no matter what is used.

It should have been obvious that without privacy there is no financial freedom, unfortunately humans are very vulnerable to psyops.

Why would someone even want to hold that fedcoin.
