I've been in crypto for the last 4 years and I've been a maxi for the last 3. However, I've always had respect for the Monero project. Can somebody make the case why Monero does not live up to it's promises / is a scam / will fail?
More specifically I'm interested in the hearing arguments about the following issues:
a) Is Monero as suited for it's stated goal of private transactions as it claims
b) Is it better suited to this goal than using properly coinjoined btc over Tor
c) Is Monero actually decentralized to a decent degree
d) Why Monero will fail in the long run
a) Monero is still considered to be the best anonymous crypto coin and have better volume that others so its still on the path, may reach its goal if crypto becomes mainstream.
b) Yes, bitcoin blockchain is public and most user's addresses are connected with some centralized exchange so it can be still tracked even if there is a small mistake.
c) yes, until now.
d) If governments targets this coin particularly and bans them on every exchange then the liquidity will be no more.
