XMR is one of my favorite coins, too bad I lost it in a boating accident
I used to mine XMR but with an electricity cost of over 0.30ct/KW it wasn't worth it for me personally. I'd make up to $5/month XMR, even if electricity was free
This hasn't even officially launched and already takes up to 4.5% of $XMR hashrate. $QUBIC hashrate will explode in next month or so.
One of the reasons why XMR hash is rising as is it’s price! Pretty great for both Qubic and xmr .
tldr; Monero (XMR), a privacy-focused cryptocurrency, has surged to $402, marking a 300% increase in 2024, with a market cap of $7.4 billion. This rise follows legal issues surrounding Tornado Cash and increased demand for privacy coins. Monero's privacy features, including ring signatures and stealth addresses, make it attractive for hackers, as seen in a recent $330 million Bitcoin transfer linked to XMR. Analysts predict continued growth, potentially reaching its all-time high of $517, before entering a distribution phase per Wyckoff Theory. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.
I see. I thought there was talk of removing XMR from exchanges in EU, but Kraken kept it. Looks like your original thread was a couple of days before the weekend, probably support is slower over weekends with less manpower. You've contacted support, personally I'd give it a couple of days more, before getting too worried. Hopefully it'll get resolved. I'm sure they get spammed with requests every time someone has a problem and 500 problems turn into 2000 support tickets. And whether it's 500 EUR worth or 500k EUR worth, they have to treat it the same. For the next time, before sending large sums of crypto, it would probably be best to do a small transaction of like 2% of the total value as a test. I myself am guilty of not doing a test transaction before sending crypto to a new address.
So its actually XMR, not BTC. Which to me makes sense that it would potentially get flagged with how much the US government is cracking down on exchanges that offer XMR trading. The funds themselves didn't move at all hardly. I purchased, sat on, and now tried to transfer to kraken to sell. If they needed to do extra KYC checks or another level of verification because it is XMR I understand that. I have told support im willing to provide any and all documentation needed, and went ahead and fully KYC verified the account prior to deposit (as much as the exhange will let you verify). Even got confirmation emails of the KYC checks coming back and my account being verified. My gripe is moreso the lack of communication or any insight into what's going on. The support replied have seemd automated, basically the same wording every time with slight variations, and I haven't been given any insight into what the issue is. Hell I even understand trading crypto on an exchange like kraken presents risks, like maybe the transaction is flagged and you aren't able to sell within whatever time frame you want to. Fine with me. What's not okay is how their support/visibility has been.
Cool story bro. The reality of the current situation is that XMR is a fully mature tech. It’s a one trick pony. It may pump from time to time but it’s only because someone (most likely a CEX) needs to wash some other coin. I wouldn’t expect much sustained growth. BCH on the other hand. Well, the world isn’t ready for actual P2PDC. Also, the majority of your post is hot trash.
I’d personally suggest Dump seeding… both ethical or technically legal but as of rn there is no way for it to be traced or charged back. I bought my dump seed software for $7,200 3 weeks ago & I’ve already sniffed over $80,000 worth of BTC & XMR combined.

Invest in XMR. More and more people are starting to realize that a true private coin is the way to go. Don't listen to all the haters (there are A LOT) XMR is the future. Do your research.
Same can be said about literally any currency. I feel like you didn't read the original post. Yes, XMR inherently washes all transactions regardless of their origin, this isn't to launder it, it's to obfuscate it. I'm not condemning XMR remotely, simply explaining to the smooth brain of how crypto, fiat, etc can be dirty.
Then .. it's clean, even if by practice XMR appears to wash all transactions. It's all about context and intent, but more importantly, proving it.
How to safely mine XMR in normal PCs?
Been mining XMR since it was under $2. I can assure you I’m fine 🙂 Now go play with your friends on the Hedera sub lol.
It’s spelled Monero* Also XMR has significantly outperformed HBAR since inception XMR has also significantly outperformed HBAR in terms of BTC as well, which is literally the only valuable metric when comparing head to head alt price action over the longest interval and basis (aka terms of sats).
XMR is the new "old BTC". Plus it has privacy. BTC got popular because of the silkroad and black money. However the current financial system bend BTC into their will. Now they are trying to ban XMR because XMR is the only real competitor of BTC.
XMR has literally outperformed HBAR in the short term, mid, and long term. The whole point is it has clearly outperformed most if not all other alts, especially at its market cap range. Not everything relates to HBAR or what your own bag bias is trying to self-affirm.
A) due to its restrictions it doesn't have the kind of futures/derivatives markets of other bluechip alts which tend to lead to manipulation/trend reversion properties B) it is more quantum resistant than other cryptos (even if the threat is overstated). the devs also have a culture of innovation/regular hard forks which could adapt to potential crisis C) mining is much more democratized due to an ASIC-resistant mining algo--anybody can still mine XMR with an average CPU. this relieves some sell pressure as big players aren't selling to fund huge energy intensive operations D) many people see the writing on the wall when it comes to censorship in the West. other cryptos have reasonable privacy features (LTC with MWEB) but Monero is the gold standard. Many bright devs made their way over to XMR from BTC and it fulfills BTC's original ethos in many ways go ahead, buy some XMR 😎 cake wallet makes it super easy to swap from LTC or whatever, no exchange necessary
“Dirty XMR” lol How’s one coin dirty and another clean? True fungible coins they are. So IMPOSSIBLE!!!
Dude nothing in that comment is FUD of any kind. It's the opposite, it's a compelling argument for the real world use cases and long term staying power of XMR. You have a lot to learn about crypto and probably everything else little britches.
Exactly it’s an elegant loop: idle mining turns into XMR, which feeds into Qubic accumulation, and if burned strategically, it reinforces value. If demand for compute grows, the Qubic buy-and-burn feedback loop could become a powerful economic engine.
XMR is the only coin now that represents the original cypherpunk spirit. And this is going to show in value too over time. Just not via the typical moonshots that folks expect.
XMR near its ATH.. thats an indication of altszn
Qubic is about to melt faces and barely anyone's paying attention. Sergey — yeah, that Sergey from Nxt and IOTA — is back, and this time it’s bigger. He’s hinted for years he could be Satoshi (no joke), and now he’s claiming he’ll use 400k BTC to pump Qubic. The guy literally built two top 100 coins before anyone knew what DeFi even meant. Right now he’s mining Monero, selling it, buying QUBIC off the market, and burning it. Supply’s shrinking daily. And he said once XMR hits $450, all focus shifts to Qubic. If this isn’t the biggest sleeper play in crypto right now, I don’t know what is.
Governments will never be ready to reliquish control, power, and the ability to spy on people. These are diametrically opposed to XMR and privacy coins.
The miner’s comment on Discord sounds amazing, doesn’t it? What is our target hashrate regarding XMR mining ? With a hashrate of 1Gh/s on XMR, daily earnings are over 40k per day (with 67% idle time), which enables us to buy and burn over 30 Billion Qubic per day and over 200 Bln per week .. is that enough ?
Been investing in crypto for 9 years. Ethereum has treated me well. This market is not for everyone. You need to leave emotions aside and think long term. Have a few short term meme coins. But if not invest in utility. Ethereum, chainlink, ondo, etc. add in privacy coins like XMR. Buy every payday and don’t look at it until next payday until you can stomach the volatility. Get a cold wallet if you’re going long term, hot wallets are fine if you’re smart about what web3 apps you connect too. If you get scammed, it’s 99% your own fault
Looking at the Qubic discord it seems they chose to mine XMR because its was one of the most complex to try and mine via POW and CfB stated if it was successful they would be able to mine any coin and also because it's heavily CPU mining. Apprantly there's a planned algorithm change in a month which will significant increase hashrate in favour of CPU mining rather than GPU. I've seen on X multiple posts over the last week where the hashrate has increased from 40mhs to now 150mhs. Its impressive to say the least and is looking more profitable than mining any other coins.
Monero miners will likely start mining XMR with Qubic soon as well.
There was a period of renewed innovation around 2011-2015 when developers were genuinely experimenting to create potentially better/different mechanisms to bitcoin. Coins like LTC/XMR/ETH and many more were developed with this objective. As people started buying into these new ideas, scammers quickly realised that 99.999% of investors had virtually zero understanding of the underlying tech (which is to be expected as it's new and complicated). At that point, there was a shift towards creating coins with no intention of having significant technical differences or advantages, but marketing them with nonsensical techno-babble, which sounded convincing to investors. Mostly revolving around fake solutions to the blockchain trilemma. 99.9% of coins then became a method for both developers and savvy/early investors to make money from endless pump and dump schemes, while the majority of investors lost everything that they invested. I think this system has now shifted more into tokens and NFTs rather than entirely new coins/blockchains, as they're so much easier for scammers to develop. I feel like a valid distinction between the term "altcoin" and "shitcoin" could be based on the developers' intentions, but obviously that's very hard to prove and quite subjective.
Yes because it's the only one with a proven track record and a limited supply that is hard coded into the system. That said, as for other tokens, eg. LINK, there is a fixed supply of 1B tokens, so a fixed supply can help, but remember that tokens are still not all in circulation. The same situation applies to HBAR and some other alts. Tokenomics is a problem with most alts. This is a lesson that so many people have yet to learn. If you want to buy something like LINK or HBAR, you want to 1/ hold for a long time, and 2/ hope that something else doesn't come along and supplant it. And...for the last and final time: THERE WILL BE NO NEXT BTC. There is BTC and there is BTC, there is no next BTC, never was and never will. There is BTC only. If you want to try your hand at XMR, then fine, but don't get upset if the court decides to freeze everything you own because you owned a crypto you could not prove the original location/owner of.
1 BTC ≠ 1 BTC in practice because Bitcoin isn’t fully fungible—its transaction history is traceable. Some coins are considered ‘tainted’ (e.g., from hacks, darknet markets), and exchanges or services might blacklist them. That means two BTCs can have different real-world value or usability. XMR on the other hand is fully fungible.
Kraken in Germany no longer supports XMR unfortunately. Was always my favorite exchange.
With upcoming FCMP+ upgrade it will be even more difficult to break privacy of XMR. Randomx also quite quantum résistant. But hopefully we will be able to migrate to quantum proof wallet in the future
XMR is BTC 2.0, what BTC was envisioned as, and people actually use it for transactions.
or... I do know how chaumian signatures work, and that adding in randomly chosen previous utxo's to form a fake join does not give the same real plausible deniability as actual joins do... and this thus leaves the monero chain structure vulnerable to a sybil attack.... which is somewhat expensive but fully funded by the IRS as we speak. This means as soon as the hacker does anything useful with their stolen loot (besides letting it sit in xmr form for its value to trend down to zero) the irs can follow the chain and report him to the nearest gestapo branch for a quick nab. the people using XMR just dont learn. It will never be as good as real bitcoin Cj's, because the joins are fake and thus vulnerable. Monero is very flawed, and just doesnt have enough volume to hide even small crimes, much less monsters sized ones.
Monero XMR at all time high as well thx
XMR is almost back to its 2017 ATH, when BTC was at 19k
>Bitcoin is amazing but it’s also smoke and mirrors. It only has value because people say it does. As soon as big money moves onto something else bitcoiners will hold the bag. This argument is partially correct, it misses the last part that is also the most important: why do people agree that BTC has value? When you put it in the way you put it, it seems that a bunch of people met and established that BTC has some kind of value, just for fun. This wouldn't convince a lot of people tho. Instead, people find BTC valuable because it has proven that its protocol works. Let me explain. As you said there are thousands of other coins and tokens that claim to be the next form of money and then list all their nice properties. On paper, all of that works. But the reality is a different thing, and those coins are not as secure as they claim to be. Let's take decentralization for example: true decentralization can be achieved when the network has a large number of users that actively contribute to it by running nodes and/or mining blocks. If this is not the case then the project is not truly decentralized. Monero and BCH are a good example of this: in theory their protocol is decentralized but in reality there are not enough users to ensure true decentralization, this means that an attacker with enough money (for example a nation) can easily shut down those coins so they are not as secure as they claim to be. On the other hand BTC network has way more nodes and way more hashing power and this ensure that such attacks cannot be possible. This is reflected on the price of the coin: BTC is much more secure than any other coin and thus it costs more, XMR, BCH and all similar coins are not as secure so they cost less. The value of a coin should be searched in the network itself, not on the properties that it claims to have. BTC went through this phase as well: if a nation or some group of banks had decided to shut down BTC in 2014 for example, they would have easily succeeded because the network wasn't as big as it is now. And the price at that time reflected that: risky asset = low price. But then the network grew and proved that it has the properties it claimed to have, and they did in two occasions: 1) The ineffectiveness of chinese ban on BTC proved that BTC can resist censorship by a state as big as China 2) The failure of BCH proved that BTC is truly decentralized. The BCH hard fork supported by a powerful minority of the network (mainly big miners and corporations) couldn't overtake the will of the majority of the network And this has led the price to where it is now. The moral of the story is that you should determine the value of a project based on the characteristics of its network, not on what characteristics they claim to have in their whitepaper. Just because they can achieve such properties under the right conditions it doesn't mean they actually have them right now or they will ever have them in the future

XMR about to break ATH and I'm strangely more bullish on XMR than BTC
Correct. In Dubai your money will never go to waste that's the beauty of it. I myself will soon have to begin looking at alternatives if my BTC / XMR holdings keep increasing at this rate and my investments deepen
so, does anyone know of another exchange that has no KYC and swaps into / from XMR?
> 8 months ago... ETH/BTC ratios were finding new lows, I knew that was the time to prioritise accumulating more ETH 8 Months ago the ETH/BTC ratio was 0.041 and I issued this warning. That value has almost halved in 8 months.

I hold various cryptocurrencies for speculative purposes only. Bitcoin and the other coins, with a few exceptions, offer nothing. It's pure hype, it's speculation, nothing more. It's no different for me. What does Bitcoin bring me in my daily life? What is the added value? If crypto support, then XMR.
Something I could stake. Probably either ETH or SOL. LTC and XMR are my sentimental favorites though.
actually a great time to buy XRP. im mostly invested in XRPL tokens. its soon to see another all time high. have u not noticed that XRP is above $2 still? when BTC hasn't even peaked this cycle? my only regret is not taking enough profits into XMR but we still have plenty of time to load up on literally pretty much anything. but yes now actually IS a good time to buy XRP
XMR is cool, hard to swap but very cool project
Realistically XMR, who else is with me. It’s the only coin I would touch aside from BTC and SOL
XMR is you ever need it in general. The rest don't make a whole lot of sense to hold (as investments) as they usually move in cycles. Eth will loose against BTC for years and then reverse the trend and grow against it. Why would you hold it as it drops?
ETH, LINK, XMR, LTC I don’t think there’s much else tbh
>It's still down 80% vs Bitcoin. This is a problem if you bought XMR in the past as an investment. It may not be a problem if you buy XMR now as a future investment. It's not a problem if you're interested in it as a private and fungible currency.
I wouldn't count on paying for day to day goods and services with (none-privacy-coin) crypto and also not paying taxes unless you move to a country with no tax on crypto. Most coins are not privacy coins. So bitcoin, eth and most major alts are significantly more trackable than fiat. An automatic system could easily deter anyone who is avoiding taxes unless they are using privacy coins such as XMR.
Thank you for sharing. About governments, control and crypto, it remind me of McAfee (who literally spied on the government of Belize), probably had double digits of $millions with XMR, he advocated hard for it. The power that decentralization achieves is undoubtedly magnificent.
Imo it's the same as last time. All alts saw positive price action but that didn't mean it was so positive that they set a new ATH. There are plenty of Top 100 tokens who highest price came in 2017/18, not 21/22. The only difference is that people here are new, so they only look at 2021 to today. Go pull up a BCH, XMR, or EOS chart; all top 100 tokens so in some ways the *cream of the crop* in crypto. You'll see that "all alts always set new ATHs" was *never* actually a real thing in crypto. It's not something that died or went away, it's something that never existed to begin with.
Everyone says the coin they shill is what BTC was supposed to be. XRP army says the same shit. Basically, most of these projects that aren't memes, gaming, etc, are simply trying to mimic BTC and create the narrative of being what "BTC" was supposed to be. The closest thing to BTC, literally is DOGE and LTC, their coding is almost identical to BTC. Then, BCH is actually what BTC in the was in the beginning when they did the hard fork because BCH is the original code and still had the anonymity of P2P similar XMR. The main difference between BTC and every other coin, and this was mentioned, is that BTC is pre-mined. It's the only digital asset that has a fixed supply of 21Mil(3mil lost) based on its coding and algorithmic structure. The last BTC won't be mined until 2140 based on its four year halving structure, and not one entity owns it. Every other crypto can create tokens out of thin air if they choose to, every other crypto has a huge team of developers, VC's, in their inception that can easily dump, manipulate whenever they want to. The projects like ETh, where Vitalik stepped away and is letting the community governance its future, is a great step for the future of Cryptocurrency. Also, everything but BTC is a Cryptocurrency, while BTC is literally a digital asset. I suggest doing more research on these topics before spewing asinine comments about "Kaspa" being what BTC was supposed to be, just like the 100's of other token projects making the same claim, but carry on, mate. I wish you nothing but the best in your journey.
ETH will in time imo no doubt, depends on the acceleration of tokenized assets, ETF inflows, and stablecoin legislation. LINK should, there has been too much good news surrounding it for it not to, though it’ll take some time. JPM using chainlink recently has been fantastic to see and I expect it to be a standard down the line. LTC will at the cycle’s complete peak per usual, tends to run like XMR in terms of acceleration of the bull market and usually marks the first top/ final top. ADA, nahhh.
Depends on what you can afford? Generally I'd recommend users to invest in anything that's still active that "has, is working towards, or develops" smart contracts. My favorites are ADA, ATOM, DOT, ALGO, POL. All still relatively cheap, with the exception of ADA. It also doesn't hurt to buy a small amount of let's say LTC/XMR/BCH (alternative Proof of Work cryptocurrencies that are still around, because you can buy whole coins right now). You never know? I remember when Ethereum was like $8 and look at it now.
> 1) Monero has solved the Bitcoin security security problem with its tail emission (fixed block reward of 0.6 XMR per block). There is simply no evidence that transaction fees can replace the falling block rewards as envisioned by Satoshi https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/fee_to_reward-btc-xmr-bch.html#log&alltime A total non-problem used to justify Monero not having a supply cap. >2) Monero has accomplished 1) while still being harder money than gold thereby being inflation free. It's still down 80% vs Bitcoin. >3) Monero has an adaptive blocksize that will allow for mass adoption on layer 1. This is the case even as a typical Monero transaction will be about 10x than a typical Bitcoin transaction after FCMP++ The reality is that by early 2026 1 GB blocks will be equivalent to 1 MB blocks when the Bitcoin genesis block was mined in 2009. The is just Nielsen's Law of Internet Bandwidth https://www.nngroup.com/articles/law-of-bandwidth/ or 1.517.1 > 1024 Monero no more on L1 than any other coin. There are always trade offs. >Furthermore it has not been shown that a Quantum computer adversary can break this POW. Same with Bitcoin.
Meme coins doesn’t equal alt coins. XMR is still pumping.
100% totally agree! XMR is being used every day, and increasing every day. When people want to spend their crypto wealth they use Monero. Fungibility is essential to money. BTC for wealth creation, and Monero for complete financial privacy. Monero is still good for wealth creation as well BTW.
There's no evidence to suggest so - the mempool today is basically empty and for the fees to 'cover' the block rewards then the network will become prohibitively expensive to actually use (notwithstanding the question of where demand is actually going to come from) Yes re: difficulty, but ultimately margins are squeezed - the cheaper your fixed electricity costs then the more efficient you can be. But this is inherently centralising as large ASICs farms are undoubtedly more efficient than Joe Bloggs mining at home. So not only is overall security reduced, but you lose the players that give you resilience/decentralisation. And yes it can be updated; it's only social consensus keeping the hard cap in place (with the alternative being to introduce tail emissions). Issue here is that the 21M is a large part of the value proposition, and so it undermines it (however this is definitely preferable to the network being attacked) I've always had a soft spot for XMR and like the cypherpunk ethos, however it seems to be the target of a lot of bad press - I guess as you say it makes sense as a hedge
There is no longterm plan for the Bitcoin network to be secured; declining block rewards mean reduced incentives and so it's harder for miners to remain profitable i.e. they drop off the network and security is reduced Do you see ZK tech a threat to your XMR thesis?
What do you mean with security budget issues? The reason I see XMR as a good investment is precisely because of the institutional adoption. Institutions are adopting BTC and ETH and that's good for us, but still institutions and governments are oppressors of the people and the free market, XMR is my bet against the system. Even if BTC becomes world reserve currency we will still have oppressive governments, we will still have states that want to seize people's property and nowadays state intervention in the economy is growing, most countries are becoming increasingly more socialist and less private property and free market friendly, so the need for a privacy currency that allows you to escape oppressive governments and engage in free market activities without the state's permission becomes greater each time. It can also allow companies to ignore stupid trade regulations line trump's tariffs for example.
What's your take on BTC's security budget issues? And do you see XMR as higher beta than ETH/BTC? Seems like the forgotten child a little bit with the current institutional frenzy on ETH and BTC
The only thing I would hold for 10 years is BTC, ETH and XMR. The others you mentioned are basically like companies and not decentralized, and xrp straight up opposes what crypto stands for.
tldr; Monero's network hashrate reached an all-time high of over 5.00 GH/s, reflecting increased miner participation and network strength. Tari, a confidential blockchain co-founded by Riccardo Spagni, launched on mainnet, enabling merge mining with Monero. Concerns arose over SupportXMR.com merge mining Tari without rewarding miners. Cuprate released its third alpha version, and progress continues on XMR-BTC atomic swaps. Monero-related events like MoneroKon 2025 and MoneroTopia 2025 are planned, alongside new tools and services enhancing Monero's ecosystem and privacy-focused applications. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

you didn't listen did you? And you will continue to cry as you get kicked in the balls > If you think 0.04 BTC is low, the ETH/BTC ratio is going to feel like getting kicked in the nuts over and over again over the long term as the ratio falls below 0.01 and goes lower and lower. > **Long term ALL Alts follow the same trend and fall below the initial BTC value they started at. Pretty much all the older Alts, even the most successful fall below this value. ETH is also trending long term to fall below this value.

XMR/BTC exhange rate was higher than it is now for like 1 hour. Looks to me all the event did was alert people to the power of XMR.
> Furthermore Monero's constant 0.6 XMR per block will lead to a constant Money supply because of lost coins This is simply unevidenced. If loss rate of coins were known I'd be extremely concerned about Monero's security. In the other case it's just speculation to fuel a blog post. > Monero has solved the Bitcoin security security problem with its tail emission I would accept this claim more readily if it were made when Monero stood above Bitcoin and its children in market capitalization. i.e. I think the claim is (vastly) premature, despite that I regularly proclaim BTC's looming security problems due to its abandonment of Bitcoin's original purpose and scaling plan.
There are many reasons for Monero **that have nothing to do with Privacy or Fungibility** 1) Monero has solved the Bitcoin security security problem with its tail emission (fixed block reward of 0.6 XMR per block). There is simply no evidence that transaction fees **can** replace the falling block rewards as envisioned by Satoshi https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/fee_to_reward-btc-xmr-bch.html#log&alltime 2) Monero has accomplished 1) while still being harder money than gold thereby being inflation free. The key here is that the growth in the Monero money supply is less than the historical 1% growth in the gold money supply. A fixed maximum number of coins such as Bitcoin's 21000000 limit is a sufficient, **but not necessary** condition for inflation free. Furthermore Monero's constant 0.6 XMR per block will lead to a constant Money supply because of lost coins https://petertodd.org/2022/surprisingly-tail-emission-is-not-inflationary 3) Monero has an adaptive blocksize that will allow for mass adoption on layer 1. This is the case even as a typical Monero transaction will be about 10x than a typical Bitcoin transaction after FCMP++ The reality is that by early 2026 1 GB blocks will be equivalent to 1 MB blocks when the Bitcoin genesis block was mined in 2009. The is just Nielsen's Law of Internet Bandwidth https://www.nngroup.com/articles/law-of-bandwidth/ or 1.5^17.1 > 1024 4) Monero has an ASIC resistant POW Random X. Furthermore it has not been shown that a Quantum computer adversary can break this POW. 5) There is an active developer community working on further improving Monero and not just on privacy. One area of research is quantum computer adversary resistance. Of course this is not all, but I can back to Monero's privacy and fungibility dominace
tldr; Monero (XMR) is outperforming other cryptocurrencies and traditional markets, with a 74% year-to-date increase, despite being delisted from major exchanges and banned in the EU. Its strong privacy features, such as untraceable transactions and upcoming updates like FCMP++, make it a preferred choice for financial privacy. Monero is widely used in peer-to-peer commerce, including dark web transactions and emerging marketplaces. Its growing adoption highlights its role as a private, decentralized alternative to traditional financial systems. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

BTC is the obvious answer. But other than that, Monero XMR.
35-40% BTC, 5% Monero/XMR, 20-25% precious metals(~2/3 Gold, 1/3 Silver), 25-30% farmland, ~5% stocks, ~5% fiat, less than 1% altcoins and other
My favorite by far is XMR - Monero but as a beginner BTC - Bitcoin is a good place to start
Sub-blocks will be tested this week and with it, transaction finality will be around 20 sec. Rosenbridge is up and running between ADA-BTC-ETH-BNB for now and it will expand (DOGE, XMR, maybe SOL etc.) Ergo Devs kept working during the long bear and I hope that it will pay off. I like Ergo it's one of the few cyberpunk projects out in the crypto space.
Only for EU countries. Kraken still has XMR trading pairs for the United States. For now... Governments around the world are doing everything they can to kill Monero. It's too powerful for them.
I see a lot of potential in the Ravencoin (RVN), it's really cool, and it's very simple to create real world assets on it! It seems a bit dead, I agree, but the whole idea is nice. Maybe it'll have a future! But I also see Cardano (ADA), and of course, Monero (XMR). Honestly, Monero is by far the most impressive crypto on the planet.
XMR and XNO are the only alts i know that have a use case and are regularly used for what they are supposed to. Everything else is speculation or junk.
I got lazy and now my XMR bags are worth even more. Meanwhile Arb continues to disappoint me, even with gains I got a bunch of other crypto too though I guess, but I don't really care that much about my BTC, Eth and alot of my other large caps for some reason
