> No charismatic leader boiling the frog with scope creep. LOL > It's actually private. It's actually anonymous. This is all a lot of us ever wanted from a cryptocurrency. Yes indeed. I sometimes daydream Satoshi knew about ZKP's early enough to integrate it into Bitcoin ... we would have had the perfect storm. > No $20 transaction fees. This one isn't a structural guarantee of Monero, but rather a side-effects of being a late-comer to the game. In other words, it might come to pass that tx fees get in the $20 range. EDIT: > This is all a lot of us ever wanted from a cryptocurrency. Agreed, except maybe for this: I've come to value the finite supply of Bitcoin more than it's value/usefulness as an actual currency. I initially loved the idea of cryptocurrencies as a currency that would be used in everyday life. I've changed my stance on this completely: I think that Bitcoin (or something like Monero, with indeed a neat advantage over BTC) is way more valuable as a financial instrument with is own unique characteristics and super-sharp edges than it would ever be as a currency
