Today, Kraken UK delisted #Monero . Don’t move your crypto to a custodial service. Your crypto should be in a wallet where you control your keys. From the early days, #Bitcoin and other crypto was meant to be held by YOU and not by a bank or another institution. Take control.

What @cakewallet has done with “fixed-rates” is a great way to spend your #monero with #vendors that accept #bitcoin without you directly touching #BTC . I would like to see the same feature but using @THORChain in Cake. Ideally of course vendors should accept #XMR directly.

Greed! Greed is the reason for all this. You weren't happy with just the price going up! no! You want interest on top of that! Ever since MTGOX we warned you to keep your coins off of exchanges - the interest ain't worth the risk. We created #BTC so YOU can control your money!

1 of 2 The short sightedness, tribalism, and ego shown by the #Monero mob (albeit a small but loud minority) is actually damaging to privacy. Take @HavenoDEX for example. it would've been safer and more private to trade shielded #zcash for #Monero than it is ...

This is a great step forward for Monero . I think the privacy risk is overblown. The way to use it privately is to use a new email alias for every card purchase. In this way, the provider of the cards doesn't have a history of all of your purchases tied to one email address.

3/4 There is inconsistency in transaction history between the wallets. Another thing I noticed is that zcash wallets download around 300 blocks from the remote node at a time to scan, whereas #Monero wallets download around 900-1000 blocks, so sync in monero is much faster.
