Part 7/9:
While Bitcoin’s transparent architecture has been beneficial in promoting trust and security, it simultaneously exposes user data. In contrast, Monero is built on the CryptoNote protocol, designed from the ground up to prioritize privacy. Unlike selectively transparent alternatives like Zcash, Monero ensures that anonymity is a fundamental aspect of its network, available to all users by default.
Monero also differentiates itself through features like dynamic block sizes and fees, as well as a tail emission model that deviates from the capped supply of other coins, allowing for continuous circulation after its predetermined supply is reached.
