but seeing how I want privacy and fungability in a coin, I'll chose Monero

Monero is not fungible. It's *invisible*.

Fungible means that units of the currency are capable of mutual substitution and to assert fungibility you need a transparent blockchain because that allows public consensus to verify that what you've parked at your address is the same commodity as is parked at all other legitimate addresses on the network and is therefore capable of said "mutual substitution".

dude, we've been through this.

You don't need a transparent blockchain. Public consensus is not what provides the fungibility. The algorithm provides the fungibility. Cryptocurrencies is all about faith in the algorithm, not the people. Thats. The. Whole. Point.

And its fine. its all fine. it doesn't matter. None of this matters.

lets not stoke this fire again. We've all agreed to disagree on this and we'll all ride our ships out to sea and hopefully we'll all make it and hopefully we'll all lend a hand if the chop gets rough.

With my newfound Dev Powers I hearby decree that this conversation is OVER!
