I know there are plenty of software missing from here. This is just a fun infographic I made, no need to take it seriously :)

We don't use USD here. Even so, USD isn't as bad a Monero, there's even privacy when using cash.

    I don't think you know what you are talking about. I don't think you read very well. I'm not trying to insult you. I am not sure exactly what you are actually trying to say. Monero is the only crypto with real Privacy. Literally every other CC that tries to say they are any kind of privacy is lying. IF they're closed source, don't even mention them to me because I'm not here to educate you on how to use a computer with any sense of self respect. I don't think you understand what I really mean to say about the USD anyway. Check my soon to be posted thread.

    I don't doubt Monero has decent privacy. I may have been cryptic in my latest reply, sorry.

    My point is, privacy isn't the only thing that matters. IMHO a decent currency/payment system shouldn't cause signifiant harm through pollution. Also it shouldn't make it too easy to launder large amount of money, which undermine taxing/funding of things which keep society working (infrastructure, school, public health, research...).

    Fiat has downsides, but all things considered it seems better than crypto. And it's possible to have privacy with fiat by using cash, so it's not as if only crypto allowed some privacy. There is also project GNU Taler that may one day provide decent privacy for online fiat payments without facilitating money laundering.

    Do you know of concrete plan/solution on the horizon to solve or mitigate Monero's problems? You might not consider those big problems, but those are absolute deal killer for many.
