Crap, i forgot about last week. Time for another Skepticism Sunday!
Stay on topic:
-
This thread is only for comments discussing the uncertainties, shortcomings, and concerns some may have about Monero.
-
NOT the positive aspects of it.
-
Discussion can relate to the technology itself or its economics.
-
Talk about community and price is not wanted, but some discussion about it maybe allowed if it relates well.
-
Be as respectful and nice as possible. This discussion has potential to be more emotionally charged as it may bring up issues that are extremely upsetting: many people are not only financially but emotionally invested in the ideas and tools around Monero.
How it works:
-
Post your concerns about Monero in reply to this thread.
-
If you can address these concerns, or add further details to them -- reply to that comment. This will make it easily sort-able.
-
Upvote the comments that are the most valid criticisms of it that have few or no real honest solutions/answers to them.
-
The comment that mentions the biggest problems of Monero should have the most karma.
The first principle is that you must not fool yourself — and you are the easiest person to fool.
Sounds like you're invested in the project's failure.
Which means you're not an objective and impartial observer. You're invested.
Just like social media, just like Facebook, just like Instagram, just like YouTube, the best way to kill something is to ignore it and not give it any attention. If you really want monero to die, don't use it, don't talk about it, let it disappear
I tried ignoring Bitcoin for some time before modding r/Buttcoin and r/CryptoReality as well as creating the ioRadio podcast. It only became more and more popular. I don't want the same to happen with Monero. I don't want people to lose their money or unknowingly engage in helping online crime grow.
How is your campaign against Bitcoin going?
Pretty well. Over the years I've managed to persuade people to avoid Bitcoin and received many complements. You can view my efforts in more detail on my ioRadio podcast. I've also created an entire documentary criticizing cryptocurrency and blockchain as a whole. I don't have any vendetta against Monero, and all of them are the same.

When cryptocurrency eventually collapses, Monero included since it's correlated with Bitcoin, my voice will finally be heard as a prophecy.
