Monero will:

  • never allow a gov to fuck me over by freezing assets
  • facilitate truly anonymous transactions over long (and short) distances.
  • enable me to mine it, allowing earn money from the power generated by my roof that'd do nothing otherwise. (in addition, it's asic resistant, meaning it can't be mined with GPUs well, only CPUs, which basically everyone has)
  • forego NFTs

  • Monero will just allow other instances (including itself) to fuck you over.
  • That is just ripe for crime and terrorism
  • You are just trading (wasting) electricity for money at a bad rate
  • Cool, so they don't fall for one of the blockchain scam, just all the other ones
