I'm neither "pro Bitcoin" nor "anti Bitcoin". I don't own any Bitcoin and never have, but it's not because I'm against it. I just haven't needed it. What I am, is skeptical of BTC as a speculative commodity that should be treated as an investment. I don't need more stuff to invest in... what I find appealing about the idea of crypto-currencies in general is their use as a currency. And in that regard, I find something like Monero, which specifically has anonymity as a feature, more appealing. And then all the "smart contract" / "programmable money" aspects of things like Ethereum also have some appeal, but not enough to date to where I've bothered actually buying any. All of that said, I want a viable crypto-currency - that functions primarily as a currency - to exist, as something that's outside of government control, and ideally something that allows for anonymous transactions. I'm just not sure we have it yet. Maybe it's Monero, or maybe we're still waiting for The One. I don't spend enough time on this topic to be sure.
