I was always anti-cryptocurrency person because I knew none of the mainstream currencies promise you a privacy on default. This year, whenever Qubic started to attack Monero, I started to read about it. And it blow my mind 
If Qubic never attack Monero, probably I wouldnāt be here.
lol thx qubic for raising awarness about p2p digital cash i guess 
for me was just from mining, there was a whole cpu spec mining community before monero moved to RandomX
as in like, speculative mining on CPU, often was cryptocoins that just didnt have a GPU miner yet so at launch, bunch of people mining those early blocks and so on, since wasnt on exchanges then it was speculative on its price and wen gpu miner
people still traded those for like bitcoin or whatever in a P2P manner but mostly speculating on those price for wen exchange listing and whatnot lol
yeah thanks to qubic 
Sometimes bad things can cause good things
sounds like you met with monero almost 6-7 years ago, wow.
yea we be getting old lol
wish could retire but monero community wont let me cause they a bunch of retards that still dont understand p2p digital cashā¦
so until then am just stuck to play a videogame that i fucking hate, literal speedrunning mental burnout piece of shit videogameā¦ until that market can be onboarded into monero
and thenā¦ maybe thenā¦ i might finally be able to go back to actually play videogames i enjoy and retire or whatever the fuck, but until then, noppers, no cant do, i literally hate it here, literally just playing this piece of shit videogame i just wanna die like actually for real lol, i really hate it lol
Same. The impression that I had and that many people still have today is that:
cryptocurrency = currency speculation market
Thatās it. No ābe your own bankā, no āpeer to peer digital cashā. Just speculative currency market. "How can I get more fiat by trading around {cryptocurrency}. No one is actually interested in using the currency as a currency.
I also didnāt fully trust/understand why crypto-currency has value at all. How can a made up Bitcoin be worth anything? That has become less of a problem now that I think more and more people feel that way about their fiat currencies that are backed by nothing, printed-on-demand, and basically function as monopoly dollars in the eyes of ālarge institutionsā that control financial industry and view the manipulation of the money supply as āeconomic policy.ā
The remaining impression that people have now is the currency speculation market.
That is what I thought about cryptocurrency too! Not because I hated the concept of cryptocurrency, I just didnāt know! Thatās why good marketing is desperately needed for Monero and I guess cryptocurrency in general. No one understands the utility.
My first foray into Monero was because of my burgeoning interest in privacy technology + FLOSS. I invested myself fully in only privacy respecting software (which implies open source), and Monero is a shining example in terms of privacy but also that it is private digital money, which is extremely useful at its most basic level.
So I came the way of privacy tech. I probably first heard about it from Luke Smith, but donāt remember exactly where.
