Part 3/8:
One defining aspect of Monero is its use of sophisticated cryptography, which protects the privacy of its users. Unlike Bitcoin, where coins can become ‘tainted’ due to the history of their transactions, every Monero coin is considered fungible, meaning that all coins are equal and interchangeable. This creates an environment where users can feel confident that their transactions are genuinely private and untraceable.
The decentralized nature of Monero, supported by a network of developers and miners, ensures that the currency is resistant to central control and censorship, contributing to its overall security and robustness.
