Lol if you want privacy but not crypto, you’re in for a bad time
We all know that whenever someone says “crypto” they mean cryptocurrency and nfts. Pretending we’re talking about cryptographic security is not helping anyone.
Every bank transaction is more private.
It depends, while all transactions from accounts is known, the details for the owners of the account don’t have to be.
No it doesn’t, any transaction you make with crypto gets posted online for anyone to see.
Go point all mine out for everyone if it’s so easy.
As a fault, that isn’t much of one. That transparency makes sure every single coin in a blockchain is where it’s supposed to be and accounted for.
You have no idea who random string of hashed numbers is unless they (for some reason) make it public, usually… influencers.
Hey, reply to the wrong comment?
since when has crypto ever been private, it literally advertises itself with the fact you can track every single purchase anyone has ever made by simply knowing their wallet adrress
Nope, read the Bitcoin white paper. But that was an old coin with some issues that are clear in hindsight and have been fixed in prkvscy coins like zcash & monero.
even if that claim is true, crypto is still hot garbage that never has done any good to the world what did crypto actually do that was positive, something that isnt some esoteric cryptobro bullshit can you actually, genuinely tell me one, hell, two things crypto actually does that is good?
and please dont come at me with financial security or freedom, cause that is a bunch of baloney
Provided an alternative reserve currency that isn’t controlled by countries clearly trying to gain economic domination over smaller nations.
Not controlled by countries and also making it so extremely volatile that it can loose its value literally in seconds
It’s that there is significant institutional support to keep the current monitory regime in power. There have been plenty of volatile state controlled currencies too.
You so realize how Looney you sound right
Name me a single currecny that has ever been able to loose its value in literal seconds, just one, go on ill wait
only your fake funny code coins are able to that arent they
To be honest I don’t know if any currency that was both able to speculated online as well as having no official reserve currencies or ties to a major world economic zone. That combo is volatile, more so than the unpegged currencies of the past or the pegged currencies of today.
Again there work towards that happening hence why there is some stability.
It’s frustrating how long this myth lasts
where did the money go than, im all ears
It might have not been clear, but i’m on your side with this
sure, but where did it go?
