This is NOT fud.
And yes, I could be wrong.

It is precisely FUD. If you don't have actual hard facts and can specifically identify and explain an actual mechanism of failure, you are relying on Fear Uncertainty and Doubt. "yes, I could be wrong" = FUD.

Also your claim about "most anon technologies" and "most respected and talented developers" falls apart when looked at carefully. Your evidence is that you cherry picked some projects and personalities that support your premise. Even then the people you cite don't even agree, at least not unconditionally. For example, are you aware that jl777 is actively supporting BBR = on chain anonymity?

You are far from someone who is unbiased, as you are one of the main people from Monero arent you?

Smooth, I don't think you are going to give the idea of anonymous transactions ON THE CHAIN is something that people need to take a second look at.

I agree that some of the coins that are claiming anon off of the chain are nothing but mixers, but others such as BTCD, NEOS, will outlast high prices, hype, and clever marketing, and most importantly.... ATTACKS!

Oh yeah, and speaking of developers. Jl777. Yes, he does support BBR which uses on the chain anon. But he plays a much more active role in BTCD which uses off the chain anon.

Like you said, Jl777 supports BBR, so why hasn't he used CN tech on BTCD? Because it is not as safe for the end user is why.

This is what makes me think that I am not the only one that believes this.. when it comes to keeping yourself anonymous.

When you look on out past what is a good speculation tool, and what is the new flashy tech of the day, and focus on what is really going to keep users identities safe, it is your more decentralized off chain anon coins that will protect people long term.
