I expect Monero to be a good investment going into this LLM era.

It always pumps after hacks when they swap to clean it. But it is also just the only crypto that makes sense to be used by regular people.

What makes it make sense?

  • Cryptocurrencies that are transparent to government tracking are also transparent to whatever criminals want to beat you up and take everything from you.

    Your usual non-crypto millinare likely have less money to steal on them than average grandma. Fiat millionare likely have two credit cards and $100 in a pocket. Or useless iPhone with Apple pay. So there is zero profit in trying to rob fiat millionare or billionare and tons of downsides.

    And moving any amounts of transparent crypto over $100,000 just paints huge "rob me" target on your person.

  • Ironically that people use it to buy drugs. If it's anonymous, it's closer to the original intention of BitCoin: the masses of CPUs then GPUs can be considered a "paperclip moment" - runaway effects are real.

But where do I invest when I want my capital to generate something of economic value?
