Comments and Reviews

   
 Post comment/review
Comment summary: Monero is celebrated for its strong privacy and security features, gaining trust as a leading private cryptocurrency. Users value its anonymity, speed, and low transaction fees, considering it more secure than Bitcoin. It's noted for being decentralized and privacy-focused, with the ability to be mined by average users. However, some concerns about Monero's association with illegal activities are noted, though they are outweighed by the positive highlights of the technology.

The only coin I don't overthink when it comes to spending. I just use it and know it's private enough for long enough so I don't have to worry ^^

Really good privacy and anonymity. No hard cap on the supply (but inflation decreases with time). 5 times faster block time (2 min), compared to Bitcoin (10 min). Really cheap TX fees. PoW, no SCs. But Monero does 1 thing (private payments), and it does it well!

Monero is the cryptocurrencie that is the closest to the Bitcoin Whitepaper, A P2P Electonic Cash System. Yes it is a better Bitcoin than bitcoin in many case. More decentralised, less fees, privacy on the base layer (pretty much untraceable), fast transactions and a wonderful community

I don't think it's more decentralised. Also 2 minutes block time does helps with transactions speed but has not real positive effect on security. The main advantages of Monero is it's privacy design and fungiblity. But Monero is not and will never be the better Bitcoin. It's a different project that is and influenced by Bitcoin and will influence Bitcoin too.
