I wonder where all of the crypto shills went on this site?

Bankrupted?

I've rarely seen crypto shills here. The vast majority is skeptical of it, and those that do speak out about it, usually speak nuetrally.

I have suggested Monero a few times in the past when appropriate, and I've never talked about price action, just utility. I don't think a reasonable person would call my couple of comments, "shilling".

There are definitely some shills in the other crypto posts right now, and they are rightly being downvoted.

I'm genuinely curious. What is the utility of Monero to you?

To me personally, I don't really use it except for novelty.

When I buy stuff in-person, I use cash because no one needs to know who I am, what I buy, and where I shop; and that extends to everyone those stores and credit card companies share their data with.

I use my credit card for online purchases, but I like the idea that even if the store knows where I live to ship me stuff, they can't see who else I shop with, or how much money I have.
