The key word is investment. Technically Bitcoin is not supposed to be an investment. Just like the 1.00 bill is not an investment. You hoard it because its $$, not because it goes up.
agreed. but if money must inflate with wealth, then there is no good way of doing this on one currency, fiat or crypto. My point is that maybe ‘cryptos’ (plural) could do this.
I agree that there are competing design goals. Privacy, speed, price.
XMR wins on privacy and price (less than BCH for txn fees) but still has a PoW block wait time (only 2 mins tho)
XRP wins on speed and price: <5 sec to confirm and essentially free to use ($0.000001/tx or somesuch) but is no more private than a Visa card or vanilla BCH
BCH is 2 hundredths of a penny. If something is cheaper nobody is going to care. Wallet generates speed. Like I say nothing is faster than the Bitcoin.com wallet. NOTHING.
And as for faster... XRP confirms *on-chain* in 5 seconds or less(!)
No PoW coin is ever going to match that; it's just not a compatible design.
0 conf works just fine. .
If you don't mind people paying you... and the smart ones taking their money back after you're "paid"
Only 1 out of 4000 attempts is able to pull off a double spend. Not 4000 transactions. 4000 attempts.
Agreed that below a tenth of a penny almost nobody cares. But if you want to support HFT and price discovery in a real DEX to match wall street, $0.001 >> $0.000001
XRP is no better than an excel spreadsheet.
Excel spreadsheets are centralized. XRP is not. I assume you have not read the ILP RFCs, as I have.

XRP is a centralized scamcoin.
Muh Zimbabwe bank partnership...
XRP can suck my nutsZ
Cashfusion has more combinations than Atoms in the Universe when shuffled. Not exactly vanilla.
XMR mixes 11 randm UTXOs with each txn. That is also more combos than atoms in the universe. That alone is not enough to protect you. Are the input&output addresses & amount encrypted?
That was a cool point of interest for selling the program.
Wait until it's official on the Bitcoin.com wallet and then we will take a look at those Darknet numbers.
Not so mention that XRP is a security and it is only a matter of time before it is legally classified as such.
Less than BCH in transaction fees? Last time I used XMR it was $0.6 for one single transfer
You’re paying extra for anonymity; not necessarily a bad thing.
I understand that but he's saying Monero is cheaper than BCH. That's technologically impossible
The same link you provided shows fees around $0.02 the last three months. Still way more than BCH and I'm sure Monero usage is very low these days.
I used monero as a user and developer. UX is pretty bad and it's almost not programmable because of privacy features. It's hard to see it grow when there are no apps except wallets.
If you look at the median fee for BCH it's .0007
Let's be real. Monero has been out since 2014. It will never pass BCH unless something happens where it is SIGNIFICANTLY better than BCH. And right now it's not.
What do you mean they are old? That's an updated fee chart. LOL Old fees are like .13-20 LOL
Also, built in inflation...I dislike that part.
The 0.6 XMR/block tail emission? It prevents XMR fees from going stratospheric like BTCs did from halving. It's also less than the expected amount of deflation (lost keys)
That's what MoneroCoretards want you to believe and accept as fact.
"expected amount of deflation (lost keys)"
This is retardation, you can't possibly know how many are being lost.
BTC of course loses on all 3: not private, slow, expensive (esp when network is busy).
BCH is the second-run in all 3. Not so private (even with shuffle), nor fastest nor cheapest.
