Nope. That liberation is what Monero is doing. Bitcoin is quite literally a casino virtual coin mined at China at this point. It is only matters when value goes up. Monero is the one being used on the streets of Venezuela and mined in dusty old computers across the globe.

Would love to read about it. Have any resources that make your point? Would love to see them.

Extremely little bitcoin is mined in China nowadays and throwing in “casino” doesn’t mean anything. You sound very non-credible just saying

It is a complete casino coin, just look at this week. The only competitor at the same level is BNB and they own the casino. Don't get me wrong, profit and whatnot is always good. The point is that you can also do money with Forex. There are reasons beyond the "value goes up" argument to use cryptocurrency. The most important is the root of the word "crypto" which means in latin to keep hidden, private. When it isn't hidden nor private, it is just a casino coin or a virtual coin. But it certainly isn't a cryptocoin on the true sense of the word.

It was some time ago. Basically monero doesn't require graphic cards nor ASIC and anyone with an old computer can mine, so it was being mined in public institutions around Venezuela, and is also used to privately send money from US/Europe to family members there. Basically their economy collapsed and monero is difficult to censure/track by authorities.

Impressive reasoning you have there. Latin roots, damn! As you surely well know being such an expert on the topic, Bitcoin literally uses cryptography as the foundation of issuance and security as well as key pairs and wallet addresses But by all means, please go on thinking i and all these people are just here to make some cuckbucks and that the core function of any true “cryptocoin” is absolute anonymity 🙂

MD5 is also cryptography. You wouldn't remember since you seem young, but once upon the time we'd see governments to keep promoting MD5 as a secure encryption mechanism despite all our warnings that it wasn't. We just moved forward to SHA1 and nowadays SHA256. Same thing with bitcoin, just moved forward to Monero already years ago. And yes, I do know a few things about crypto and its roots. Was mining BTC and still with CPU back in 2009. You weren't there at the forums, you weren't there at the BBS. You really miss the point why we pushed for a crypto currency in the true sense of that word rather than settling for an MD5 equivalent fedcoin. If you don't understand the true value of monero today, you wouldn't have bought/mined bitcoin back then as well.
