I am a longtime Monero supporter. I bought within a month or two of the coin's issue in 2014, when Bittrex first listed it. Monero is my biggest holding, more than any other crypto, and more than my dollar-denominated assets. I had to get my bona fides out of the way because of what I am about to say. And I want you to read and consider.
All the back and forth, including refuations posted by Monero people, are 99.9% motivated by partisanship.
Wake up and stop acting like kids in the schoolyard.
I come to this thread to read and communicate with people who understand crypto, and what I see is the same dreary tit-for-tat that infects every debate I'm following, whether it's core vs bitcoin cash, Monero vs Zcash, and all the rest of the small minded wrangling over crypto controversies.
Grow up, people. There's much more to this than winning the argument.
I want to read something written in a tone of detachment. A high-handed, superior tone, and the conviction of your own righteousness, counts for nothing with me.
God damn it.
I'll go ahead say what I'm sure others are thinking. Many of us
do think we're superior, because we are. Sorry if that isn't politically correct enough for you, but the entire crypto space is a bunch of greedy scumbags jerking each other off, and XMR doesn't play along. We have the moral high ground and a lot of people hate us for it, because no matter how much they tell themselves they're making the world a better place, we're a constant reminder that they're a fraud.
Make no mistake, I definitely have skin in this game. But I sleep like a baby.
