    What if it’s this one good-one-grift over the other trashy grifts?

    It’s like asking “what if it’s the good one billionaire” that still preys upon everyone else but has a better PR team to hide the bodies.

      But unlike billionaire this is actually verifiable, and it even got the “stamp of approval” by the feds when they offered 600M for those who can crack it

        It’s still internet funny money with all of the same capacity for pump and dump hype and dubious use cases like “get rich by making others believe more in it.” nyet

          unlike other internet money this thing is actually already widely used by most of darkweb so that’s a pretty big economy already using it

          And one of the “features” of Monero is you can’t actually “get rich” by “investing” in it. Monero is very stable and is doesn’t go up or down that much. (**compared to other coins)

              Yeah like normal money isn’t used for illegal stuff… there’s even a theory that drug money saved the world partly from total collapse during 2008 crisis

                false equivalency intensifies

                Why are you peddling your internet funny money in a thread that’s specifically about people tired of people peddling internet funny money?

                there’s even a theory that drug money saved the world

                Suuuuuuuure, but you could say the same thing about normal money saving the world sometimes with your same mental gymnastics.

                You don’t get to brush off how many of your fellow cryptobros are human trafficking enjoyers then at the same time declare a unique and special savior moment for your favorite human trafficking marketplace.

                    Hmm…

                    Considering where you’ve already gone peddling your internet funny money and now that pretentious opener for your reply, I don’t think I’m going to humor you further because it’s going to wrap right around to your lowkey support for human trafficking and kiddie creeping pornography because you heard once that it “saved the world” somehow once.
