You would think a privacy company would use a privacy coin. Did they give up on privacy?

Are they going to publish all of their customers emails publicly too? Or only their monetary transactions?

People actually use bitcoin for critical use cases. It satisfies needs in their lives that don't just have to do with crypto. Another vanity coin is not a substitute.

I said a privacy coin. Not a vanity coin.

People actually use monero for critical use cases where privacy is important.

So, this is embarrassing. Apparently up until this point, every time someone said, "monero," what I heard was "Venmo", and I just tuned out that pay pal bullshit every single time. Oops. I know better now, thanks.
