Have been curious about this ever since I got into Monero. Why is there such negative sentiment around non-XMR coins? Yes, I understand the surveillance concerns, but what about coins that could be private and work alongside Monero? Maybe a private stablecoin or something similar. I never seem to get a clear answer—only that the coins are shitcoins, and that's it.

Generally there is potential for other anonymous coins. It's possible and yet, like zcash or other coins no coin tried to go the full way like Monero did.

It's a community project which makes it special. Private stablecoins can be a vehicle to onboard people to our world and it should be explored, but Monero isn't just a tool imo.

It's an ideology that goes beyond transacting anonymously because beeing anonymous it's good. It's about abolishing the state and use agorism to build something new and healthy. Stable/Fiatcoins isn't what we desire since it's backed by the state and in the interest of a state. It even is a threat since it takes the crypto paradigm and swollows the ideology that came with it.

Monero is very impressive project and that's why we have high standards for everything else. We laugh about Ethereum trying to bring more privacy, because it's mostly a corpo. coin and not doing it because they have a strong ideology. Them doing it is good, but us doing it for a long time and out of principle makes them laughable.

I understand why you are upset. I didn't gave a clear answer previously since, i want to see people fighting and not loose focus to some mid-coin. I don't have the patience to argue to everybody who has doubt's or explores different paths, which will, with the right mindset, probably result in more positive effects for us all.

Monero is constanly attacked, which results in the community to be enclosed and strong. Everybody who enters with a new idea is generally seen as opportunity for disunity, which is undesirable for a community that wants to thrive for one mission.

We need to stay focused and we have a great tool, no need to get distracted.

Fiatcoins are interesting since they are supposed to be 'stable', but in the end we don't need a perfect price. It's not so important that we need to shift focus.

People pay on xmrbazaar with Monero without converting it to fiat. Meaning I have one xmr and this lamp is worth to me 1/100 of my savings, so if someone is selling it for 0.01 xmr this is acceptable to me.

1 gram of gold will always be 1 gram and in a future where everybody pays in xmr and fiat is history we will not convert. 100g of Strawberries will be 0.0001xmr

@esna7 That is the reponse I like, and what that, I will join the movement of $XMR only and adopt the shitcoin mantra!

@esna7 No counter from me, I always curious as to the why. You gave me a great explanation, I am taking it. We don't want to drive anything away from our mission with Monero.

@esna7 I assume this sentiment is felt for $BTC as well?
