Bitcoin’s Lightning Network has onion routing for privacy, like Tor.

When Bitcoin had a bug that allowed some guy to give himself a bazillion bitcoin, it was detected and patched before he was able to sell them. When Monero encounters a similar bug, it will only be detectable by the price going down.

Money in the bank can be seized and frozen for all sorts of reasons. If you’re in the USA, then police can charge your money with a crime even if you haven’t broken any laws. It’s safe until it’s not.

In both cases, only a minority of us got to enjoy those benefits.

Professor X. He’s already responsible with even more power, and this way people would choose to listen to him.

Monero is cool but this is a scammer account

The ledger being public doesn’t prevent illicit use, like darknet markets. They use mixers or onion routed payments.

In the context of this thread, the centralized exchange is Taler Operations AG.

Taler offers anonymity for consumers but not for merchants. Every transaction everywhere - including Taler - has a sender and receiver.

Sorry if this is rude, but you are spreading misinformation, not knowledge.

I’m not condemning Bitcoin. I prefer to make falsifiable claims over unfalsifiable claims. Which claim(s) are incorrect?
