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&#8217;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&#8217;ve used it to pay for my VPN where it worked very well. And with it being outlawed in the EU in 2027, it&#8217;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&#8217;s channel based networking isn&#8217;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&#8217;s always good to consider all opinions in open discussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Why You Should Own Bitcoin, Not Monero\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9sPC84YDqVE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An interesting critique of Monero, and he references https:\/\/moneroleaks.xyz\/ which has some ways it has been tracked in prosecutions.
