Why is Monero a terrible investment despite it's usefulness? I think the idea of privacy when it comes to money gives it a lot of power. This coin has the power to snuff out taxes through money laundering and could keep all purchases secret.

YET
No one invests in it (or at least compared to other cryptos). Is there something fundamentally retarded about it? Why does a shit coin like BAT have more potential despite no one using it. This is a serious post and not just some shitty shill posts btw.

You can still audit the XMR blockchain, it's just impossibly difficult to know who is sending xmr to who, but it all adds up in each block. They have found residual exploits left over from the BCN code, but why would the devs undermine the value of their own coin like that? Especially one with a 1bn MC? Not to mention XMR probably has some of the most talented cryptographers and crypto-devs working on it.

Stop think about "muh drugs". Monero is the tax evasion coin. Takes time to convert it into money. Every transaction looks identical so it's impossible to trace.

monero is a top-tier means of exchange.
this does not mean that its a top-tier long term investment.

you know, fruit is good for you, you eat them within a week, you dont stock fruit or else it rots.

crypto is a bit like that considering value changes very rapidly. unless you got in early into monero its too risky to "invest" in it. this is not hard is it? as a means of exchange though its fucking ace considering the anonymity. most who receive it would probably convert into something more stable within 24 hours.

Anything under $90 (Jan 2020 high) is a steal. I started piling in around ~$45. You could have had it for $25 at the bottom on March 11.

Little known secret:
Binance futures publishes long/short ratios, and breaks it out by top performing traders and total. Top performing traders have had higher ratio long/short on XMR than any other coin I've examined. They seem to be swing trading the XMRBTC ratio. I've started following suit and am scalping several hundred USD per day, even during this extended correction.
