XMR

Easy... Dex swap to Monero (XMR)

Professional_Elk_489

Punks are still worth $60K floor and the aliens are still worth millions. Pudgies are still worth $7K floor ZEC and XMR have bullish market structure BTC looks ok Rest of the market looks trash

WildNight00

XMR I truly believe in so I will continue to hold and DCA

Previous_Valuable873

At least you made one wise choice out of the three, XMR has been outperforming BTC for more than a year now, not to mention the other 2 shitcoins.

WildNight00

BTC ETH XMR and SOL I still hold but I don’t look at any of them

Previous_Valuable873

I also use it much more frequently than anything...to convert to XMR :-D

DangerHighVoltage111

P2p cash is the only real use case that matters. BTC got hijacked and crippled. p2p cash continues on BCH and XMR.

MakCapital

The only "true" crypto when priced in BTC, SOL, HYPE zoomed out. Not good. https://imgur.com/a/S8WmawG Not considering if you were staking SOL between 7.5%-10%+ you'd have over an additional 70% of free SOL from compounding revenue and issuance. Nothing wrong with XMR, but majority can't easily enter/exit until smart contracts or Thorchain adds (Watch for this. Getting close. Possible opportunity). Existing solutions are high friction and high risk. Why it has even struggled against its own competing privacy chains. *Honest human takes from someone here from the start of the industry. X link in profile.*

RainCity253

It’s also in a massive cup and handle. XMR could go crazy the next bull run

Previous_Valuable873

XMR is the only true crypto. Look at it's performance compared to BTC in the last year. SOL, ADA, ETH, all joke. https://preview.redd.it/z0kuiwftykjh1.png?width=1099&format=png&auto=webp&s=e9da501148f3ec0c39d4ea88e0bcd00c5530b000

I really don't give a fuck as long as XMR stays around.

XMR is more like cash and bitcoin original vision than any other. Its one of a handful of coins actually being used.

ChrisTheWeak

Brand recognition, it has existing value, and it's weathered the test of (some) time. The vast majority of cryptocurrencies fail. Either just a rugpull, or otherwise lose all evaluation immediately. Bitcoin doesn't really have anything special to it, but other coins that don't have something extra to them will have a hard time competing with it just because it's already established and people are already using it. Other coins can succeed, but only have a good shot if you add something new. Ethereum went for proof of stake algorithm which means it doesn't consume vast amounts of energy like Bitcoin. Pearl is trying for a proof of useful work for their algorithm. Monero XMR is built around privacy, every transaction is meant to be untraceable, unlike other coins where every transaction is visible to the whole world. USDC which is a coin that is pegged to the US dollar. Currencies are one of those things where having a universal standard makes life much more convenient because conversions make things difficult, so competition is not encouraged, and jumping between coins is a hassle. So overtime the number of widely used coins will trend to a bunch of new small ones, a handful of old ones with a small cult following, and a few big ones that stand the test of time. That's my hunch anyway.

Babad00k123

There is only a handful of crypto you can touch. BTC, XMR and maybe USDC/PayPalUSD - not sure what the point would be to hold a stablecoin though. Thats it. Sell the rest and lick your wounds.

Ornery-Plankton9844

At this point looking at the all time graph AND the use case, everything is a shitcoin but XMR

Serenaded

You read the situation correctly imo. Few projects in crypto can ever do 10x in a year and then keep going. They almost always crab at the top and then dump. Kaspa is a good one in recent memory that did exactly this. Whatever people say about ZEC, the fact is that XMR is the undisputed king of darkfi and it's going to be hard to get people to swap since people have relied on XMR for 12 years now. ZEC just has all the hallmarks of a VC pump and dump.

AlternativeAd1456

Again.... Same argument I heard in 2015. Also, that's XMR you're thinking of.

Chuckychinster

Sounds conspiratorial and doesn't jive with much of anything i've read before, or XMR's general chart. Im not calling you a liar, i just mean i don't quite get from it what you did

frozengrandmatetris

a privacy coin with a higher mcap than XMR and zero DNM adoption is as organic as a little debbie oatmeal cream pie

Chuckychinster

XMR is the only coin i have rn and i have no problem keeping it that way. I try not to shill, but it is so clearly the best option.

Gangaman666

Hell yeah XMR is the only privacy coin 

Ornery-Plankton9844

Show me one person who would love to show his entire life of transactions to everyone interested...? That's what btc users think is good, until they realize crypto should be fungible, untraceable...XMR all the way and oh look, it has been gaining on btc heavily last 1.5 years, I wonder why....

Previous_Valuable873

Then tether collapses and sub10k territory, essentially having BTC, ETH and XMR as 3 cryptos, the rest will be eradicated.

Previous_Valuable873

The narrative since over a year now is that actual usage and usefulness (Privacy, monero) is what matters. At this point everything is a shitcoin, since institutions got their dirty little hands on BTC, that is also qualifies for one then. Look at the only coin that was gaining on BTC in the last 1.5 years and lo and behold, the only one people actually use as "crypto" as it was meant to be.... To be honest all those who haven't realized long ago that XMR is what all the BTC fanbois thought they are buying can just ride the train down to 10k no problem.

DangerHighVoltage111

I added more direct links, gonna cry? BTC was irrelevant in the beginning, then it wasn't. Then it got hijacked. The point is p2p cash is not irrelevant and it is worth fighting for. On BTC you do not fight for p2p cash anymore, so it is actually irrelevant contrary to BCH and maybe XMR.

DangerHighVoltage111

BTC is mostly used custodial on LN. That's neither sound nor original. Satoshi is a Big Blocker. BCH is probably our only chance for sound p2p cash. Maybe XMR the second.

effdanwo

Personally, I do 2:1 BTC to XMR. Half the Bitcoin is in ETFs, and the other half is self-custody.

magma_lakes

Mullvad VPN. BTC + BCH + XMR + Lightning

Thomas5020

For privacy, XMR is the common sense choice.

mcpickems

XMR has no place in the holy trinity fam. CEX delistings are increasing and it’s worthless if you can’t convert it to fiat easily. P2P conversions are a meme.

Flashy-Potatoe-Queen

Well... What did you expect? 1 dollars per module? He'd get ruined by bots... This was made by someone from the community.... It's nice enough of him to give away anything for free. Kaspa being one of the rare thing that isn't a VC pump and dump scam alongside BTC and XMR... He wouldn't be wasting time.

thuishaven

BTC, ETH, SOL, HYPE for majors XMR, ZEC, MORPHO, SKY, RUJI for alts I also recommend 30% of portfolio in market making products like jlp or hlp. 

igoldring

The holy trinity of BTC, ETH, XMR. Please don’t listen to BTC maxis attempting to convince you it is BTC or nothing.

0fWhomIAmChief

XMR is the King of Privacy

akuukka

Only if you don't report your XMR sales to tax officials, which is a crime in most countries.

Hoax__

Not a tumbler/mixer. Instant swapping services are like FixedFloat or ChangeNow. Basically they’re services that allow you to swap crypto for another crypto like BTC to XMR. Smaller instant swappers ‘nest’ within exchanges as they don’t have enough liquidity of their own. For example, CoinCradle, another swapping service, nest within HTX. - But yes, if it goes into a mixer, it’s unlikely to be traced any further

0fWhomIAmChief

Litecoins entire purpose is cheap swaps into XMR

No_Theory9958

Long live XMR

magma_lakes

So many options. The easiest would be to pass the coins through CoinJoin, totally obfuscating their destination addresses (after a few rounds). They could use non-custodial swap services to swap the coins to XMR, and then the trail disappears. They could sell the coins P2P. They could pass them through lightning. They could buy goods online with the BTC directly, and then sell those. They could rent hashrate and receive mining rewards at a fresh address. Or a combination of all the above.

anymonero

The maker doesn't have that ability. You're making stuff up. On Thorchain you're trusting the majority of node operators act honestly. On BasicSwap or Eigenwallet you don't have to trust anyone besides the developer if you can't read code and are too poor for Claude. https://markets.basicswapdex.com It's not cex liquidity but on XMR/BTC it's 2% spread not 5%.

RawLaws

Let's see what XMR is gonna do in the near future.

Historical_Quail_463

​BTC for digital property rights, XMR for private p2p payments, and ETH for global stablecoin rails. ​Every other shiny L1 is basically competing to be a faster casino for trading the tokens created on it.

jessica236ty

good luck getting new investors (i mean suckers) to buy into a dead dino tech coin in a mining death spiral now. ALL crapto is garbage except XMR. The only one in a bull trend.

Logical_Lemming

Zcash pulled a 10x in a year off the privacy narrative. XMR/BTC is up 100% in a year. I'd say people still care about privacy.

blaurz9

Meme coins are finished just buy XMR

Specialist_Trust4945

XMR for sure. One of the true privacy-oriented crypto.

master-beast-72

BTCPay Server is the answer to this specific situation. It's a self-hosted, open-source payment processor — you run it on a VPS, connect it to your own Bitcoin/Lightning wallet, and accept crypto payments with no third party who can ban you. There's no company to approve your "business profile" because there's no company involved. The merchant processing piece is entirely yours. The setup takes a few hours if you're technical, or there are hosted instances where someone else runs the infrastructure for you (LunaNode, voltage.cloud) and you just control the merchant side. Still no KYC/approval requirement for accepting payments. For crypto → fiat conversion afterward: CoinGate and NOWPayments are payment processors that are generally more permissive than the big ones about content type. They have some restrictions but NSFW art of the kind you're describing (sculpted figures) is not in the same category as the stuff that actually gets platforms shut down. The Coinbase rejection was Commerce (their merchant product), not the exchange. Commerce has gotten more restrictive. The exchange itself is separate — you can receive crypto to a Coinbase wallet even if Commerce rejected your business account. Monero (XMR) is also worth accepting if your customers are privacy-conscious — it's got native privacy properties and there's a whole community of buyers who prefer it for exactly this reason. The self-hosted BTCPay route is the one that has no ceiling on what you can sell.

Nikkio077

What ?! Ever heard about Decentralized exchanges ? Plus, even if you were right, you think it'd be difficult to swap to LTC and then to fiat ? I don't think you know a lot about XMR

PeteyPab305

They are not valid use cases to the general public, which is what Bitcoin needs now. Since it is basically a centralized regulated asset, it could not be viewed as having independence through criminal networks. If somebody told you that was the only use case for cash money, otherwise we should just ban it for digital payments. Would you really want to be caught holding cash? Hell no. At some point that doesn't become an argument for it becomes an argument against because there's other networks that do this much better XMR, ZEC etc.

No_Theory9958

Use BTC or XMR. Or stablecoins on a chain with low fees.

jawni

>Data. There are only 3 pos chains that have survived a decade. bro... you start with "Data" and then give the most tiny inconsequential meaningless dataset.... PoS are newer than PoW, of course there are less that lasted a decade, that isn't a meaningful measurement of anything. >There are dozens of pow chains still around from a decade ago. And besides BTC, LTC, DOGE, DASH, XMR, and ETC, how many PoW chains that launched at that time are dead? All of them. >And generally pos chains are replaceable. ??????????? >When new tech comes along it’s far more likely for a POS chain to shut down than it is a pow chain. ????????? lol... literally all the new tech is PoS and when new tech comes out, none of the old chains are shutting down. What sort of fantasy world is your head stuck in? Are you being serious in this thread or are you trolling?

andix3

There's nothing reliable to buy XMR without a KYC. There are a few CEXs that you can use for that and then transfer to a wallet, but not a way to buy XMR directly without KYC, at least not reliable one.

igoldring

XMR 🤫

Nikkio077

Agree 100 %, I only hold XMR now, maybe I'll buy some BTC but not more than 20%

unknowngloomth

XMR hit a new ATHs from its 2021 top despite being blacklisted on major tier 1 CEXs. This just proves that being listed onto tier 1 CEXs isn't a proof that a coin will perform well. And it is only down about 55% from its ATHs as most altcoins are down 80% to 90%. XMR is a solid coin..

Nikkio077

Ehm you forgot XMR

squireofrnew

Yep invest in XMR.

DangerHighVoltage111

I only care for p2p cash. Everything else is noise and distraction, so BCH and XMR are my only coins worth buying.

0fWhomIAmChief

Agreed, out of any other OG crypto besides Bitcoin XMR makes the most sense. Delisted off the worlds major exchanges and establishing new ATHs each cycle, that groups it with only 2 or 3 other crypto projects, including Bitcoin.

nails4coffee

I would hold LTC, ETH and XMR. And you can’t talk me out of it.

frozengrandmatetris

XMR is stable because it doesn't have any speculators at all. you know, people like OP. it only has real users.

Thomas5020

I pay for things with XMR for privacy. No points. No cashback. No airdrops. Just a crypto that does what it says on the tin.

Flashy-Potatoe-Queen

Kraken is a solid platform to make your purchase and/or to trade.... but the first purchase you should make as a beginner is a coldwallet. Buying coins is meaningless if you keep yourself vulnerable. A coldwallet is not a "safety option" it's the minimum requirement. Tangem is probably the best for begginers if you buy a set of 3 and go seedless. Otherwise Ledger and Trezor are also pretty solid. If you want to invest in crypto, you need to know why you are here to pick the right thing for you : - You want to trade ? Pick coins with a lot of volume like BTC, ETH and SOL. - You want to invest long term and let it grow ? Go for decentralisation to avoid long term manipulation with things like BTC, KAS or XMR. - You want to gamble ? At least do your own research to learn how to avoid the most obvious scams, there are tons of it. Good luck on your adventure and trust no one, ESPECIALLY if that personne DMed you first, they are 99.9% of the time dirty scammers acting friendly to empty your accounts.

LTP-N

Isn't that the point of XMR?

zmooner

There are many decentralized options to get XMR

Due-Professional6824

Sooner or later you wont have a XMR option at all on any exchange. Prepare accordingly.

Blade_Runner_69

Hey bro I'm saying this for your benefit and not being an ass, but if you must buy crypto you need to sell all this and buy 40% BTC 40% ETH and use the 20% to speculate. What you currently own has a massive risk compared to the big 2 which are risky enough. Personally I stick with BTC and XMR only.

syKonaut

Coinbase and Kraken both are CEX's that support XMR.

Previous_Valuable873

What bear market lol, I am 2x up since 2025 with XMR :D

BTC for sure, as everyone says here, but i also believe in XMR and SOL future

DebugDiag

I’m sticking for now with BTC and XMR.

DangerHighVoltage111

You should at least accept BCH, LTC and XMR these are the usual payment blockchains. BTC is slow as hell if it is not LN. For Bitcoin Cash there are these full blown payment options: https://prompt.cash https://nowpayments.io/supported-coins/bitcoin-cash-payments https://www.bitrequest.io And the simplest one I could find: https://scantopay.cash/#/ Just to give you and idea what exists.

So Aptos is a “major” blockchain? Compared to what, the memecoins and shitcoins? Theres BTC, ETH, XMR, and everything else, and the everything else has been a carousel of promises, pump-and-dumps, manufactured hype, and failure for the last decade or so.

Federal-Anything5312

You use swap sites that dont need accounts to swap to XMR, then use another site a bit later to swap back to whatever you want to a new wallet. Preferably use multiple sites and different amounts. If you do 10k in then 10k out a few hours later to a new wallet it will be obvious. I obviously won't recommend any sites but you should be able to find some yourself, choose ones that aren't known for "surprise kyc" and maybe don't do everything at once if you are worried about losing it all. You will lose a little in swap fees too ofc.

BTC: store of value ETH: smart contracts XMR: p2p digital cash. Maybe a few other longshots like LINK BCH DOGE for reasons I'm sure you can guess after minimal research.

The question isn't who is selling, the question is who is buying when crypto returns look like this and a safe boring boomer S&P 500 index is returning 164% from early 2018 and 65% from late 2021? LTC is -18 from December 2013 XRP is -55% from December 2017 ADA is -80% from December 2017 ZEC is -45% from January 2018 XMR is -20% from January 2018 ETH is -18% from January 2018 when accounting for inflation LINK is -60% from 2020 SOL is -70% from 2021 price BNB is -20% from 2021 price Even BTC is -13% from 2021 high

anymonero

At around 8KH/s (which your CPU should get), you get .0006 XMR (18¢) per day. Plus, you can merge mine Tari but that's basically worthless at this point.

Realistic_Fee_00001

Get with the times. BTC is hijacked and crippled. It ever only be a speculative token. Sound money can be found at BCH and XMR these days.

libretumente

100% agree. Stacking LTC and XMR

Gangaman666

BTC will survive and thrive as usual. XMR will thrive as we lose our privacy more and more and people realise moneros benefits. I'm not so sure about 90% of the random shit coins though, perhaps ETH will survive too as it has institutional backing. So I partially agree.

Aanetz

ETH, TON because telegram isn't going away. Hyperliquid because defi trading is still big. XMR is definitely getting bigger in the future because the surveillance state is upon us all.

PhoenixJ3

XMR is alive and well for 12 years now despite gov/press campaigns against it and forced exchange delistings. P2P money route's around government approval.

Bazaruta

There are. ETH is useful for smart contracts. ZEC and XMR provide privacy on transactions. HYPE is kinda like a stock, like binance and coinbase stock. Just to name a few. But true for the average coin, there is none…yet people throw money at it. When a 5 min google search would tell you that, the thing you are paying for is worthless.

DangerHighVoltage111

> It was supposed to be a currency and act like digital decentralized cash And the coins that pursue this goal, like BCH or XMR, will be the only coins left at the end, because the only alternative outcome is a privacy and surveillance hell called CBDCs. Don't pay attention to all the distractions. Divide and conquer still works.

I'd argue a lot more than 0.01% of people buy Bitcoin & XMR for censorship resistance and digital privacy

Smiles in XMR

VeroCSGO

Generally speaking BTC, XMR maybe XRP are the only coins worth investing in, everything else is just based on hype. The only use to crypto that has been shown is to pay for things anonymously. XMR is used by drug dealers so it has good fundamentals BTC is still used for this but is generally out of favour due to a highly trackable ledger and high fees for the privelige

Chemical_Beyond_5972

Won't change much. XMR will still be king
