Monero is out there. Why do yall need something else. No need for alternatives. Stick to what works and has utility. A lot of vietnamese guys in DO team is another reason why you should focus your peepers on older projects espoused by experienced team. Or go along with vietnamese and you will squint like them, the choice is yours but decision should be taken now.
Of course alternatives are needed. Competition is healthy and it doesn't matter where are the guys in DO team from, important are the results. So let them show us what they can do.
It's good to be mentioned on YouTube, but this video has less than 300 views, would be nice if some bigger youtuber notices this project. There have been recently many videos about altcoins, because BTC was boring, but almost all talk only about DeFi, privacy coins are not interesting now. Hopefully, their time will come again.
BTW, it would be useful if DeepOnion starts to look for some partnerships among DeFi projects. It would also match the decentralization philosophy of DeepOnion.
