>I don't know a single person who has used Monero That's the point, its private by design and unless they tell you, nobody will ever know how much they use and for what. The true hacker spirit. If you bother to look past news headlines you will find a vibrant community of people paying for legal goods that value privacy before FUD and ignorance. https://monerica.com/sitemap https://monerica.com/sitemap This kind of fearmongering is already leading us towards a cashless society because "only criminals use it". This is hackernews and not facebook or congress so it should be obvious to everybody here what the end result of criminalizing/demonizing non KYC payments will be (hint: look at china).

> unless they tell you, nobody will ever know how much they use and for what. As opposed to email?

  do i really need to explain on hackernews that email is not E2EE? yes which shows your comment has no actual data behind it hence FUD.

    You really need to explain why whether or not email is E2EE is related to people needing to tell me they use email or not.

      if you can't follow a basic discussion maybe don't have them. there are no factual statistics about monero crime unlike email because its private by design unlike email. i provided factual evidence about email being primarily used for crime, meanwhile you have "your feeling" about monero but still refuse to apply the same lens towards something you like once facts are against it. your ignorance and different treatment of the two based on emotions is apparent but has no place in a factual discussion.

        You are still trying to argue that email's primary use is crime?

        > yes with hard data unlike you about monero. have a nice day If I accepted your version of the events then you need to accept you posted a link stating that spam makes up 45% of email traffic, 45% is neither half nor the majority. I suggest you actually read your "hard data" before posting it.

        "In 2023, nearly 45.6 percent of all e-mails worldwide were identified as spam, down from almost 49 percent in 2022. While remaining a big part of the e-mail traffic, since 2011, the share of spam e-mails has decreased significantly. In 2023, the highest volume of spam e-mails was registered in May, approximately 50 percent of e-mail traffic worldwide." you have to be a fool to think there is less spam 2 years later but thank you for proving once again your clear bias and inability to read.
