It works as a currency and it's private by default. New privacy features coming that will basically block any attempt at tracing and also make it quantum resistant. I am not a 'news' chaser. I use what works for what I want to do.
I am here for the freedom money, not fiat number-go-up. I trade for a living, but as far as my crypto holdings are concerned, other than Hive, I am a proof-of-work maxi. I find most proof of stake ecosystems to be scammy.
Like what? I have found ways to get everything I need with crypto, mostly through gift cards. As for bills, there are services that you can use to pay your bills with crypto. If you get creative, it can be done. The only bills I can't pay in crypto are my power and internet bills. But I earn some cash too weekly, so I usually pay it with that.
mortgage, car payment... I know there service that can handle through creative channels but I'll admit, I'm too lazy to do it all. Also living in NY state makes these services close to none.
Ah, yeah, NY sucks for a lot of things when it comes to crypto. But yeah, I get it. You have to really want to be on the outside to try and live like I do, lol.
EDIT: But I can still encourage people to live as much on crypto as possible because that is the only way people are going to get ahead.
Yeah... NY. It's tough to get around regulations here. There are ways to get around it but it's convoluted and you have to bounce your coins around so many times on so many bridges, the fees rack up and you loose quite a bit in the end.
Ok. What's the news on Monero I haven't looked it up in a while

got you. I still have a little stack of Monero from way back ...
If you have a decent computer, you can add to that stack by mining with your CPU while it's not in use.

I love the freedom money too unfortunately for now I still need to use Fiat for a lot of things.
