I think PIVX offers better privacy as well as optional transparency. Privacy on demand is better than privacy by default. PIVX is also nearly instant transaction.

Optional privacy is not better - that's just a fact. If privacy is optional, then tracing is much easier than if every transaction is private.

@champagnecrypto The crypto general, get these maggots in line haha (military reference)

I like Monero very much and it is totally plausible that it overtakes BTC, but I doubt it. To do so, it'd need mass adoption well-beyond what we see today. Although us freedom-lovers understand why privacy is critically important, the uninformed masses have been led to believe that its primary appeal is crime. Therefore, I don't see it as a competition as much as I see it as just another option for specific uses. BTC can be a non-private store of wealth like Gold and it will just sit there idle. When I need to actually transact and have all the real fears you've cited, perhaps I'll consider Monero then. I was reminded of a quote today on Twitter that I really liked: "When privacy is criminalized, only criminals have privacy". source: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Phil_Zimmermann - creator of PGP - the encryption protocol that we can thank for much of the crypto we enjoy today, directly or indirectly. Think on that!

Bitcoin is the MySpace of crytpocurrencies...

And now with the battle against antminer jujuju that will be awesome for the project if they win. Regards

I think it has the potential to overtake bitcoin BUT if and when it happens it will take some time.

Other factors can really push XMR to the moon tho.. blacklist, strict taxes or crazy regulations will be good for Monero... (IMO)

when bitcoin was big on the darknet everyone thought it was anonymous and that was imo the reason it became so popular at first.

Now people praise the open ledger

I really like monero and it is one of my favorite coins.

The community is as great as the coin

I think that crypto must find equilibrium between privacy and regulation, or the big player will never get in

I think that any equilibrium is not realistically possible, because the very foundation of cryptos goes against everything the state stands for.

Monero is the king of privacy coins. If everyone is honest most people came to blockchain because of privacy.

Privacy and anonymity are the keys to crypto mass adoption. Like you, I see monero gaining more market share as it’s profile continues to rise.
