Monero devs spent years quietly building FCMP++
while Zcash devs spent years lobbying regulators and tweeting about compliance
one project shipped privacy,
the other shipped press releases.
The smartest thing Monero ever did has nothing to do with privacy.
It's tail emission.
0.6 XMR per block, every 2 minutes and forever. That's 432 XMR a day on a supply of 18.4 million, less than 0.9% a year.
Now think about how many coins disappear every year.
Lost seeds, dead wallets, people who never backed up their keys, that number is probably higher than 432 a day.
Monero might actually be deflationary in practice while still guaranteeing that miners always get paid.
The supply is predictable, the inflation is negligible and the people protecting the network never have to wonder if it's worth mining tomorrow.
Nobody talks about this, but it might be the single most important design decision in $XMR's entire protocol.
@Fujohnt There are quite a few people in the Middle East right now who, if they were wise, would be converting many of their trusted-third-party assets into Bitcoin or Monero.

FerrySwap is coming soon!
'FerrySwap is a Monero-first swap interface built on top of Serai, enabling direct cross-chain swaps without centralized bridges or custody.'
Monero adoption is inevitable,
Because the old system is dying.
Look at the signals:
Fragmented regulation.
Intensifying censorship.
Renewed capital controls.
$XMR is the infrastructure of individual freedom. Adoption will be logical.
Node count is rising. P2P swap volume is up.
@RetoSwap sees growing inbound BTC for XMR.
Real users are arriving.
Because in a world where privacy is eroding,
Monero is a necessity.
Do not compromise Freedom over convenience!
