    Which is primarily the reason that I will only use Monero. It actually offers something that other cryptocurrencies do not. And that’s privacy. If you need to see which crypto to buy or use, look at the government’s efforts. The government has Wall Street accepting Bitcoin and put in people’s retirement accounts. Why? Because they can control it. Where with Monero, they’re trying to purposely get it delisted from every single exchange they can possibly get away with. Why would they be so willing for you to have Bitcoin? But not willing at all for you to have Monero? Simple. Because with Bitcoin, they can see everything you spend at all times and see your balance at all times. Where with Monero, they can’t control it and they know it. Monero is what Bitcoin people thought they bought.
