Correct, I don't find these to be limitations for any user of Monero, its just a way not to use it. > repeatedly withdraw money from one exchange and then deposit it to another right, don't do that. Withdraw to your wallet. Wait several days. Transfer elsewhere in different denominations. Problem solved for everything you wrote, and its been nearly the same for the entire lifespan of Monero, 11 years now. > Breaks wi…

"There are court cases that give the confidence necessary. " NO! many times police will made up "plausible way" how they uncovered something, but this "plausible way" was constructed after the "secret" or illegal way was employed to do it. rephrase : police will do illegal thing to obtain info where you stash your drugs. for example installing NGO Pegasus to your phone, gps tracker under car... so they already have t…

Parallel construction is possible and I agree that Ross got railroaded with some unanswered and questionable and paradoxical evidence gathering tactics

My confidence in Monero comes from following what the administrative state has said in court cases

Often times they don’t know the balance, location, and are unable to seize it. As designed

Fun fact: After some $330m of BTC were stolen last month, Monero spiked 40%+, presumably because the proceeds of that theft were laundered. https://x.com/zachxbt/status/1916756932763046273

Wouldn't the interface between BTC and Monero be the weak point? Where do they make that swap reliably?

exchanges that only support cryptos and not fiat money don't require KYC. In some cases, you don't even need to create an account at all. It is extremelly easy to swap from one crypto to another in a few clicks.

I agree, that's the biggest proof so far.

Alternatively, because they’re talking about banning it without actually banning it, it must be compromised.

It is defacto banned at most fiat exchanges. The ban is happening.

I can’t find a date on this article. And this is exactly the type of content that needs a date.

This reads like standard AI slop. A giveaway is structured Attempt/Methodology/Efficacy pattern repeated all the way through the article, while top level categories are overlapping. (ZeroGPT: "Your Text is Likely generated by AI/GPT".)

You just used some bullshit AI tool to call my work, that took me several weeks to research and write, "AI slop".

That's after getting a degree and spending over a decade in financial journalism.

You will read this but still insist you are smart.

People like you are the reason people are falling for "AI slop".

DERO could be an alternative with their full encryption of user balances and transactions

Dero privacy got busted about a year ago due to developer incompetence https://gist.github.com/kayabaNerve/b754e9ed9fa4cc2c607f38a8... After seeing this and their weak attempts at making a CPU-based PoW, I don't have any confidence in dero or its developers.

Good to know. Thank you!
