[monero.how @monerohow]

Monero keeps building while most of crypto chases narratives.

Missed what happened in Monero the last few weeks?

This week’s roundup covers what actually matters 👇

@xmr_jake The tech argument is strong, especially on privacy.

But most people aren’t ignoring Monero because they’re uneducated — they just haven’t looked into it deeply yet.
Once they do, the differences become pretty obvious.

[monero.how @monerohow]

Bitcoin is transparent by design.

That means every transaction can be traced, analyzed, and stored forever.

Monero flips the model: privacy is the default, not the exception.

[monero.how @monerohow]

@sethforprivacy The uncomfortable truth: Bitcoin privacy isn’t failing because of lack of tools—it’s constrained by design choices.
L2s can patch edges, but they don’t change the base reality.
If privacy isn’t default, it’s optional. And optional privacy usually fails.

Interesting project. A few things worth watching closely: The ZKP and offline P2P design is genuinely novel. But ZERA is a privacy layer on top of transparent assets — your SOL or USDC doesn't become private at the base layer. The anonymity set is still opt-in, which is the same structural weakness as Zcash. Monero's privacy is protocol-level. No deposit step. No note system. No "shielded mode." Every transaction is private by default with no additional trust surface.

Calling Monero, Zcash and Dash “privacy coins” hides a huge difference.

They are not variations of the same idea.

One is private by default.
The others rely on optional privacy.

That architectural choice changes everything.

[monero.how @monerohow]

Nice video! This is the real issue with “just use private tools later.” By the time most people understand the tradeoff, years of financial and behavioral data have already been collected. Default privacy matters because most people never opt in early enough.

@banditxbt And everyone should as voluntary privacy is not privacy. It's a preference. Monero doesn't ask you to remember to be private.

@xmr_jake All the way...

[monero.how @monerohow]

Running your own Monero node improves privacy, reduces reliance on third parties, and strengthens the network at the same time.

[monero.how @monerohow]

Most users still underestimate this: the best way to use Monero with maximum privacy is to run your own node.

That means verifying the blockchain yourself instead of trusting someone else’s infrastructure.

One important security rule: opening P2P port 18080 helps the network, but unrestricted RPC should not be exposed publicly.

Safe default: keep RPC private unless you know exactly what you’re doing.

[monero.how @monerohow]

@APompliano Investors looking for geopolitical hedges usually think in terms of non-sovereign assets.
But another dimension is emerging: financial privacy.
Transparent blockchains hedge monetary policy.
Private ones hedge surveillance risk.

One detail that surprises many people:

Most Zcash transactions are still transparent.

Privacy only activates if both sides use shielded addresses.

[monero.how @monerohow]

If privacy matters, architecture matters.

Transparent ledgers with optional privacy behave very differently from networks where privacy is the default.

Monero, Zcash and Dash are often grouped together.

They shouldn’t be.

[monero.how @monerohow]

Calling Monero, Zcash and Dash “privacy coins” hides a huge difference.

Dash leaves amounts and addresses fully visible.
Zcash is only private if both sides use shielded addresses.

Monero is private by default.

These are not the same thing.
