Jamie Dimon (JP Morgan Chase CEO) thinks Bitcoin will be stopped. This is my response
https://twitter.com/XMRpromotions/status/662214071907807232Bitcoin cannot be "stopped" either but it can be monitored without the permission of its users thanks to its transparent blockchain.
With Monero, transparency is still possible but only with the permission of the user by sharing their viewkey. Monero transactions are unlinkable and private by design. Monero is not only unstoppable but perfectly fungible.
The great thing about XMRpromotions is:-
1. It ferments a lazy community, because "Fuck it, XMRpromotions is on top of it and he's officially part of Monero."
2. It makes outsiders and potential investors think that Monero would be nothing without the Monero team having to promote it this way. Implied conclusion is that Monero is a risky investment because the promotion does not come organically.
1. There are lots of people who are working hard to further Monero adoption. This community is not lazy. Nobody has been given the impression that I speak for Monero in any official capacity. My efforts to support Monero are solely because I believe in it.
2. Promotion does come organically. I am a volunteer and work for free because I believe so much in the three pillars of Monero: privacy, decentralization, scalability.

I may just be a volunteer but I always welcome feedback and suggestions. You can provide it here:

If you have ideas which you think will be more effective, implement them! We are a decentralized community and each one of us makes decisions on our own.
Having said the above, I do think teamwork is essential. I have discussed scripts for approaching merchants with some of you. For others I have provided leads and invitations to possible podcasts, AMAs etc. I have never represented myself to be a Monero developer. In fact I ask technical questions like everyone else. Both the community and development team have been essential resources for me.
