A lot of points in here that I always wanted to confront Monero supporters with. It seems like the least scummy crypto out there, and I occasionally see generally lefty people stanning it, but it has the same fundamental flaws. Maybe the scammers are currently vacuumed up by the richer scamming grounds of eth/btc, but it wouldn't survive it's own success.

From their earlier writing on Bitcoin: "but some doubts arose about the aforementioned professor: Saifedean Ammous." Saifedean Ammous might not be an actual professor, or a sane person at least, I assume you all are just as shocked as I am. (E: turns out it is his actual real name, can't make this up).
