Welcome to XMR General, dedicated to discussion of the world's leading privacy-coin! Because Monero is secure, low-fee, and borderless, people can easily send money despite corrupt and broken governments or banks. This provides economic empowerment of individuals in oppressive countries or depressed economies. Private financial history protects consumers and companies from price manipulation, supply chain exploitation, economic discrimination, or the like. Monero is the only cryptocurrency that has the features to serve as completely fungible, decentralized, electronic cash. If you're new, feel free to ask any questions you like and a Monero Chad will be with you shortly.
Im new to monero and I'm lucky to be living in a place with 3 monero ATMs in 30minutes drive proximity. Redpill me on why I should store my money in monero? If some government would ban it, wouldn't it lose value because it would scare off institutions ?
Is monero somewhat decoupled from btc ?
what happens if I use monero on my windows 10 laptop without downloading their blockchain, is that secure enough? (probably not because of 3rd party server hosting)
Thanks for taking your time I'd really appreciate it if you could answer some if not all quetions, yes I'm a newfag to monero I've been sleeping on monero for 5 years despite doing "business" online.

>If some government would ban it, wouldn't it lose value because it would scare off institutions ?
Monero is not backed by these Institutions or any bank. Monero is backed by Darkweb and the technology by the coin itself. The darkweb will always exist and will grow popularity with all these shills on tiktok and social media. Just look at the picture I posted then you will understand why Monero will always be on the top
>I'm lucky to be living in a place with 3 monero ATMs in 30minutes drive proximity. Let me take a guess: You live in Netherlands? You might not answer this for infosec reasons. I'm not so lucky and only have a few BTC ATMs in my town.
>Is monero somewhat decoupled from btc ? If Bitcoin goes up, Alts go up. If Bitcoin goes down, everything goes down, too. That's the rule, so far. It might change in the future.
Regarding your other questions: Lol, I have no clue, mate.

Is monero starting to gain recognition or has it become a meme? I really hope its the former and not the latter.
Cooper Jackson
He has no penis
Transactions are going up, so it looks like recognition
Chase Smith
is there any way to stake monero or liquidity pool like Uniswap? I have some monero sitting there but I am not touching those in years.w

>Redpill me on why I should store my money in monero? It's like Bitcoin but private. Nothing more to be said. I can't send you Monero and then look at your wallet and all your transactions. If you don't believe in the project as much as Bitcoin, you can always hold Bitcoin and use Monero. Most Monero chads think that Monero's BTC ratio will appreciate though. > If some government would ban it, wouldn't it lose value because it would scare off institutions ? Monero's value is that it is a cryptocurrency that is fungible. It will always be needed in situations where Bitcoin fails, such as the dark net. Also Monero can't really be "banned". Certain authoritarian countries can make it more difficult to on ramp to it, but as long as you have internet you will be able to get Monero. Over time, we expect Monero's clout to rise as more people find out about a faster and more private alternative to Bitcoin that is less valued. >Is monero somewhat decoupled from btc ? Monero has had a great year but our BTC ratio is not where it should be. We expect the ratio to grow greatly during the next bull run. We peaked at 0.03BTC last bull run, and a lot of us Monero chads expect higher. >what happens if I use monero on my windows 10 laptop without downloading their blockchain, is that secure enough It's secure. Downloading the blockchain is definitely recommended but you can get away with using a light wallet or by connecting remotely.

Monero is going to be the majority coin of use on the darknet within the year. It is already trending heavily in that direction, but it takes time to onboard noobs. The darknet is a bellweather and will signify Monero being more useful than Bitcoin, which is a big story for cryptocurrency. begone pajeet

Newfag here, is there any way to verify XMR total supply? I can see it listed here livecoinwatch.com/price/Monero-XMR, but I was wondering if there's something like etherscan for XMR (or is that not possible because of having private txs?)
Jacob Nguyen
with the cli you can use print_coinbase_tx_sum to calculate the total supply. Your node will then go through and calculate the coinbase.

guys would invest in XMR long term be better rn or should I keep them in BTC? I can't afford much but I have around 300$ total in crypto should I convert from BTC to XMR?
Colton Allen
Its dumping!!!!! get out while you still can
Camden White
wait should we not buy the dip?
Joshua Diaz
It's up to you. Do your research. Bitcoin is the safest bet in crypto, but Monero has more upside. we're in it for the long haul user.
Justin Taylor
coinloan.io is good, licensed by eu and is insured
Jaxon Rogers
I did but I don't have much so I am looking at a small long term profit even 10$ makes a difference but yeah I believe in both technologies
I think XMR will always be a fraction of BTC's value because normies don't give a fuck about privacy but it's the only altcoin I haven't dumped and don't plan to. I think longterm, Bitcoin will keep improving on privacy but on-chain fungibility is hard to beat.
Asher Cox
I think Bitcoin is more-or-less giving up on privacy. They would have to hard fork to get even a quarter of the privacy Monero has. And that is totally fine. Bitcoin will be the trendsetter for the lightning network and beyond. Once atomic swaps come around the alliance between Bitcoin and Monero will be even stronger.

Issue is tapping into your savings when you really need to, no? If it were to be banned
