I am a critic of BTC because of its public ledger and its related safety and privacy issues. I am concerned many BTC holders are more motivated by getting rich (quick!) than they are about being true to principles. I am a fan of Monero. I have used it to buy a GrapheneOS phone; to pay for VPNs, email aliases, phone numbers, ebooks, gift cards for restaurants; and to tip waitresses — and once to pay back someone for gas money. While I believe in the mission of the Monero project, I’m not confident that the majority of Monero isn't used to buy porn and drugs and other immoral things. I hope people are choosing to buy coffee grounds and tipping the Columbian workers, but I have my doubts, suspecting that their Monero are often going toward less noble causes. Whatever crypto you use, spend it for good, not for evil. Buy some, spend some, give some away — just like fiat. True religion is not your cryptocurrency of choice. Crypto does not save us. It is a tool. You cannot serve God and e-mammon. Touch grass and pray.

Your doubts are valid. An interesting thought experiment is Fiat are better safeguards against buying porn and drugs. The important thing is to understand the underlying principles and power of first movers. I would recommend reading the Bitcoin Standard and the Fiat Standard by nostr:nprofile1qqsyx708d0a8d2qt3ku75avjz8vshvlx0v3q97ygpnz0tllzqegxrtgppamhxue69uhkumewwd68ytnrwgqs6amnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dsxxn50k. Once you begin this journey it will lead you down a rabbit hole of seeking knowledge and truth.
