    Monero is still built on the blockchain. Using Monero for privacy is like playing casino blackjack as a monetary investment because the odds are better than the lottery.

      Yes, it is built on a blockchain. It’s a blockchain specifically designed to completely hide the sender of a transaction, the recipient of said transaction, and the amount of that transaction. And cannot be even broken with quantum computing.

      Edit: I should stand corrected. Parts of it are already quantum proof. Other parts can still be unraveled with a quantum computer, but there is work already in progress to fix that for future transactions.

          Cryptography (math) papers, are, in fact, the source of all truth.

          If you don’t like crypto it’s okay, but don’t spread undocumented fear.

            Maybe that’s why there so little overlap between respected cryptography researchers and crypto developers?

            If you like tipping sex workers online it’s okay, but don’t spread a documented scam.
