Just started to research more into Monero recently. I was one of the people who used to think Monero was a "bad guy" thanks to the way tech journalists and mainstream media report and portrays it. After making a point to read about it and took the time to research, test and experience it. Monero seems to be the only crypto and chain that fully aligns with the ethos of Satoshi Nakamoto!
Welcome to the instance. And welcome also to the best crypto that can be used as actual currency!
Huge kudos to you for being inquisitive enough to break through the propaganda and see for yourself. Almost everything you read in the legacy media is propaganda these days, and it's not easy to keep an open mind and then learn, and read, and listen, and watch, and just keep digging until you find the truth. Once you do find it, it rings true and feels right. Again, congrats for resisting labels and becoming a free thinker.
This is one of the steps to taking that red pill and opening a whole new journey. Enjoy the ride and bask in the freedom of censorship resistant money.
Glad to have you aboard!
