"So when you brand Monero as a privacy coin, it's reinforcing a narrative that Monero is only good for privacy and that that's all you need Monero for. It's just privacy. But Monero does a diverse amount of things really, really well."

- Monero is more than a privacy coin.
- Security and decentralization require ongoing open source work.
- Privacy technology faces competing pressures (regulation and AI).

On next Monday's Anti Moonboy News, we talk about the Keystone hardware wallet hack, the PHP exploit, and I reveal the (anonymous) responses from Monero developers who talked about when they think the FCMP hardfork is coming. Send superchats to xmrchat.com/xenu to appear on the show!
Monero's hashrate continues to reach unprecedented levels.
More computing power than ever before is being dedicated to securing the network.
No hype, no marketing, just miners committing real resources to the world's leading privacy coin.
While most cryptocurrencies die after a couple of years, the fundamentals only continue to strengthen for XMR.

$XMR is quietly putting together one of the more interesting charts in the market.
On the daily chart, Monero has established a clear sequence of higher highs and higher lows following its bullish break of market structure in August.
Price continues to trade above its rising moving averages, with the next test around $650–660; break that and there is little between XMR and new ATH's.
But zoom out to the XMR/BTC weekly chart, and things get even more interesting.
After nearly eight years of declining resistance dating back to 2018, Monero has finally broken above its multi-year trendline against Bitcoin.
That's a significant technical development.
Weekly RSI is approaching 70, momentum is strengthening, and XMR is now approaching a major historical resistance zone around 0.0085–0.0095 BTC. A break above this zone and $XMR likely enters a new phase of long-term outperformance.

The US GOV uses Tor. The Feds literally paid a spy $100k in Monero.
They don't hate Monero. They don't hate Tor. They just hate that you have access to them.
To hell with them all.
I believe a time is coming when most of the crypto industry, Bitcoin included, will just be an extension of the same corrupt financial system it was meant to escape. Arguably, we're already there.
As traditional finance captures more of crypto, fewer places will be left where people can actually protect their wealth from the manipulation, surveillance and skulduggery that define the system.
That's where Monero stands apart. Its privacy and fungibility make it hard to absorb into a system built on financial surveillance and control.
And that's what makes Monero so important, it's not just about hiding transactions or privacy for its own sake. It's about preserving a real alternative to a system that wants to control how people store, move and use their own money.
Monero may end up as one of the last genuine refuges for financial freedom. A place where ordinary people can protect not just their privacy, but their wealth and their livelihoods.

It would be hilarious if Monero $XMR turned out to be the largest beneficiary of the institutionalisation of crypto, tokenisation, stablecoins etc.
The most entertaining outcome is usually the most likely.

Trocador is four today 🎂!
October 2022: a handful of exchange partners and one stubborn idea, that swapping shouldn't take eight open tabs and a leap of faith.
Four years later it's 3000+ coins, the Trocador Guarantee, prepaid cards, gift cards, AnonPay, the BTCPay plugin, and a support team that has chased down more stuck orders than we care to count.
None of that happens on its own. Thanks for four years of feedback, requests, and the occasional "why doesn't it do this yet."
🧡

ledger hack helps you learn what privacy really means
first time the hackers in a big exploit used zcash:native instead of monero:native
and they were instantly tracked and exposed 🤣
zcash is not private thats why (good) criminals dont use it
the only truly private money is monero
