can someone explain why they sanctioned tornado cash, but monero and litecoin are left alone?

>> No.50871792

plenty of people use tornado.cash, but nobody uses monero or litecoin

>> No.50871812

>>50871770
monero will never make more than a 5x in gains plus it has no smart contracts so there's no chance of a shitcoin turning random people into millionaires over night forming so there's no need to worry about it. Tornado cash is dangerous because anyone could just sneak 0.1 ETH into a metamask account then start trading or scamming retards then become a billionaire in two seconds

Monero already has smart contract capabilities, an atomic swap is one and is already working. It's just not a smart contract

like Ethereum where you can get extreme chain bloat through monkey jpegs and uniswap shitcoins because you can add your own contracts and use the EVM functionality.

Isn't this a good thing, though? monero is literally what all the crypto people originally wanted a currency to be, stable. not moving the needle a fucking inch. as stable as a rock. people who are for real about internet money are obviously going to want to park their money in a currency that doesn't fluctuate too much and is as stable as humanly possible.

Monero did 25000 transactions yesterday alone, about 9% of what Bitcoin did, much of them were actual purchases (DNM's) rather than just shuffling or trading. That is orders of magnitude more commerce being facilitated by Monero than pretty much any given shitcoin.

Because Tornado's SNARKs can't be cracked (despite what Monero fanboys keep yelling about their trusted setup) but Monero's "obfuscation" is laughably weak.

everything that gets hacked on a routine basis happens through smartcontracts. tornado cash will let you use ethereum addresses. i'm suprised people can't put the two together here

OK.
>much of them were actual purchases (DNM's) rather than just shuffling or trading.
Wrong. Monero is under constant spam attack to weak then privacy set.
Glowies started with a dumb flood. Monero devs noticed it and wrote about it https://mitchellpkt.medium.com/fingerprinting-a-flood-forensic-statistical-analysis-of-the-mid-2021-monero-transaction-volume-a19cbf41ce60 Then glowies moved to a smarter flood. The anonymity set is small as is (just 11 possible values; 100k for Tornado) but when 99% of outputs are spam, it shrinks to nothing.
