Cash is private. I pay for sex toys with $50 bills and no one has any idea who bought 'em. And the local sex shop doesn't take monero.

I think the argument against that would serial numbers and cameras. You might want to pay in quarters from now on.

Good point. With QR codes nowadays, bills with serial numbers are potentially trackable one-by-one. I can actually see Joe Average getting behind that idea, as he's prolly steeped in dramas where the greedy villains demand "unmarked bills".

It's the security camera you need to be worried about.

Without Privacy (security of self) this is where we are heading: https://infowars.wikia.com/wiki/Society_of_Control. A cryptocurrency should be private by default and public voluntarily, not vice versa: https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero. The internet got privacy wrong, we should learn from that mistake.

Welcome back. I still remember your thread, "Monero At 25 Cents What The Hell Are You Waiting For?" I didn't bite at the time, but I was tempted - and those who did, got a quadruple.

Bitcoin is private to a point, but that privacy is mostly lost through the internet. Yes it seems we did get it wrong.

Isn't Bitcoin private enough anyway?
