This Lemmy instance is relatively new, so everyone here is relatively new 😃

Monero (XMR) has some interesting, experimental features—among other thing it has the “privacy first” design, having a lot of valid use cases. Monero might be what Bitcoin originally tried to achieve. Yet it’s not magic to solve everything. We’re not “religious believers” who blindly insist Monero is perfect. The privacy coin does have several potential problems too.

Many of us are critical thinkers, questioning the recent tendencies toward excessive surveillance society, or negative problems caused by monopoly by Big Tech, and so on. I hope you’re interested in some of these privacy points. Many or us are not traders nor investors—more like privacy advocates, a kind of philosophers, or cypher punks. I hope you find some of those topics interesting, important, informative, or otherwise thought-provoking.
