An interesting critique of Monero, and he references https://moneroleaks.xyz/ which has some ways it has been tracked in prosecutions. Personally I like Monero, and its super easy to run your own node which takes away one of the biggest ways it can be tracked, malicious nodes of which I’m sure some are state sponsored. Consequently, they used tricks with a couple prosecutions to identify a criminal, but Monero is working on adding more noise to transactions to improve privacy. I have a little over 1 Monero in a wallet, as I’ve used it to pay for my VPN where it worked very well. And with it being outlawed in the EU in 2027, it’s probably not going to evolve more than as a niche way to pay for certain services privately. And like the presenter, I like the community. And as he references Lightning of which I run a Lightning Node as well as having made a few transactions with it lately, it’s channel based networking isn’t always perfect, and you have too many big Lightning nodes which kind of makes it centralized to a degree. And managing payment channels and balancing them is a pain in Lightning, so usable but not fully ready for regular folks unless you use Aqua Wallet or Phoenix Wallet that simplify things with possible privacy limitations. But it’s always good to consider all opinions in open discussions.
