Before 2009, if you wanted to send somebody money over the internet, you had to ask permission from a third party to do so. And the third party could say no if they wished and you would have no recourse. The internet needed a native money so that you could send value just as simple as sending an email disrupted the postal service.

Total private blockchain that hides the sender, the receiver, and the amount sent and received. A tail emission to continue to provide an incentive for miners to secure the chain into the future. And a community hell bent on decentralization and peer to peer cash. Monero does not compromise. For example, it has been delisted from nearly every centralized exchange because the community refuses to add anything that would allow easier tracing.

Not on mine, it doesn’t. I don’t use the Play Store. I don’t have Google Play Services. And I don’t have Google Apps installed. And I’m running Lineage OS. So, fuck you Google.

I agree that most of the crypto industry is complete scams, but you are throwing out the Monero baby with the bathwater.
