Monero (XMR) is private by default. In fact it’s very difficult to make a transaction that isn’t private, even if you initially bought through a KYC exchange. It’s compatible with atomic swaps too so you can exchange it with BTC P2P in a zero trust manner. &#xA;&#xA;XMR employs several techniques such as stealth addresses and ring signatures to ensure that its blockchain provides POW (proof of work) whilst remaining private, unlike BTC’s private blockchain. &#xA;&#xA;XMR also uses the RandomX POW algorithm which is CPU friendly as it favours hardware that handles a more varied and random workload. This makes it ASIC resistant meaning that buying all of the ASIC processors and starting a mining farm like people do with BTC won’t really work. This means regular individuals can mine at home :D&#xA;&#xA;Not to mention how scalable XMR is with dynamic block sizes that can change depending on how much traffic is running on the network. &#xA;&#xA;Monero has a long way to go, as does BTC but, for me at least, it wins on privacy. Especially if you run your own node!&#xA;&#xA;nostr:note1za77xj4csus3wv8ky6atyr55u8jdsllyd4lsuj4juzekw9ychzgq75dx8a</html></oembed>
