Hmm why are comments that mention Monero getting down votes?

[–] kakes@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Couldn't tell you. I honestly don't know enough about Monero to have an educated opinion.

However, I do know Bitcoin and (a bit less so) Etherium from a technical standpoint, and I know those are very popular options, so unless Monero is specified I think it's safe to assume "cryptocurrency" = "Bitcoin" for the most part when talking about the general trends of adoption.

That said, from what I hear, Monero is private, and I have no reason to doubt that. For the record, I'm also not downvoting anyone talking about Monero. I think the Lemmy community in general is just relatively anti-cryptocurrency (and anti most things, honestly).

At least Lemmy community is not anti-GMO, right? Right?

Because Lemmy has an irritional hate towards crypto. Calling it "dead" and a "scam" while the price is breaking records and being officially adopted by several world governments.

and being officially adopted by several world governments.

Monero? Or which one?

BTC. The price already passed ATH ($70k) and has had ETF approval in the US several months ago, Canada; China coming soon. ETH is up for consideration next. And then there's the fact that several small countries like El Salvador that have already accepted it as their official currency.

But you already knew all of this, so why am I even wasting energy on trolls like you? You people fucking suck. Quit talking shit just cause you're even worse investors than me.
