This is what you get if all you read is from press. Aren't you also convinced that Bitcoin only use is for hackers to steal your money?


Monero is used by everybody that don't like people take a look into their wallet.
While with Bitcoin one can use mixers, one can use change addresses heavily and in a smart way, many will not do that and some already got into trouble because of this.

In the same way you don't show everybody how much money you have in your pocket and what you do with them, Monero does that with anonymity. Monero is much closer to how actual cash works than Bitcoin. As you can see, this is good. And this is bad too:

Governments also want to take a look into your pocket and some will prohibit Monero "to avoid people buy drugs" (or other made up reasons that help you sleep well).
Bad people can indeed use it for wrong, in the same way as they do with money, gold and so on.
