Here's a few reasons why it isn't:
• Monero is screwed up from conception in that it trashes the very thing that makes bitcoin valuable - blockchain transparency
• If you've ever used it in its native form, it feels like its been written by an overexcited twelve year old who just learned C++ last month
• Dark markets like mainstream money, not their own "Dark Market" monopoly money. The best use case is therefore as a transitory laundering facility for BTC
• That makes it a "tech stock", not a monetary asset, the difference being that one provides a technologically oriented service and the other is a store of value
• That in turn gives it a limited shelf life because though the "tech" may take years to develop, it only takes seconds to reproduce. Therefore, if you're not the money, just the laundering service, then you're toast as soon as the "next great thing" comes along
- nope, blockchaintransparancy is/was a means, not an end... Blockchain's purpose is to be a ledger that makes sure there are no double spends, that there's no shenanigans going on... Whether it's transparent or not, it's just there to maintain the integrity of the system...
- I used it, it totally doesn't feel that way, but the way you FEEL about something is a bit of a subjective argument wouldn't you say...
- Well, at least that's a use case isn't it, and rather a large one... And again, I feel this is a very subjective statement on your part, how do you know what dark markets LIKE. Again you're projecting your own (possible flawed) subjective opinion to try to make your point...
- Since this statement is based on your previous (subjective) statement I consider it void... Sorry to say, but it's starting to look like you're really trying hard to find a stick to hit a dog (in this case the monero-fluffy-dog)...
- Again, because this is based on your previous subjective assumptions, this statement has no merit at all...
All in all a very poor argumentation based on your subjective feelings/assumptions, but I know where you're coming from, so I wouldn't expect anything else, you're most obviously biased against monero... when one is biased, one seldomly uses rational argumentation...
