Why are you surprised that an XMR core dev scammed millions out of all the XMR shitcoin lovers? lol

It does give one that impression...

Why? Is it not his money?

I would never buy such an expensive watch which also is particularly ugly to my taste but.... still. Where is the scam?

I agree in principle but those optics are so terrible. Even me who is one of the biggest monero supporters and free market supporters was quite taken aback. Flaunting wealth that crassly is in very poor taste. I mean at least a lambo is a real thing. A honda civic doesn't work just as well as a lambo. But a 20 dollar watch at walmart probably works better than that, it probably has more features. That's like setting a million dollars on fire in front of everyone just to show them that you can.

I mean yea you are right. It's his money and he can do what ever he want's with it. And monero isn't a shitcoin, it's the best altcoin on the market, just in terms of the tech behind it, tech that he helped to develop. But setting money on fire in front of everyone really really makes you look like a scammer.

Yeah well...Monero just got rumbled for having piss poor privacy. Upshot is that the decoy transactions can be traced with ease, allowing those inspecting the blockchain to pinpoint details of supposedly private transactions. Little wonder the Monero emo-dev is getting upset about BTCP. BTCP poses a significant threat to Monero because real (zk-snarks) privacy trumps the non-privacy of Monero. That is why the Monero emo-dev is spraying stupid juice everywhere

Honestly, they are all scared. It's coming out that monero privacy is fake and monero's movement are traceable, while BTCP is not. BTCP has the best privacy tech with bitcoin name. It's gonna be the future, and everyone who didn't invest know that and spread FUD against this coin. I even have the suspect that the CMC and exchange issue are because someone doesn't want BTCP to moon.

Wow. I didn't take you for a fudster. If the transactions are so traceable than why doesn't someone do it? I'll post the transaction id and someone tell me who it came from and who it went to, okay?
