Monero is anonymous bitcoin.First, in bitcoin there were services that mix together black and white cash (mixers), so that the purse fell "it is not clear where" took the money. Simply put, you sent bitcoin to the site, it interfered with other bitcoins and sent one of the foreign bitcoins to the final address.This site has become popular with the black market: sellers of drugs and weapons. However, the implementation on the basis of bitcoin expects that you trust the owner of the mixing service — and that he will not give you to the police.It also seems to me that the anonymity of transactions, which is also a banking secret, is a necessity for accepting any cryptocurrency as a popular means of payment. The capitalization of the Monero market is now 1/100 of bitcoin, that is, the growth potential is great. Monero is the project where I put the most money.
