@Nebuchadnezzar_II You get the point. Monero could have just been another coin, much like Dogecoin or Litecoin (I understand the role of those coins, and mean no disrespect). The thing is, we needed a cryptocurrency that truly embodied the characteristics of genuine, libertarian, agorist electronic cash.
The technologies integrated into Monero have addressed each of these requirements—even if some challenges remain. One such advancement is more decentralized mining, made possible by RandomX. It has allowed home computers to reclaim their share of the network's hashrate distribution. But I don’t always focus on that aspect; to me, it’s just the cherry on top. In my view, it’s the zero-knowledge tools that are the most remarkable.
Monero is climbing the mountain.
