Skepticism Sunday #3 — August 11, 2024

Crap, i forgot about last week. Time for another Skepticism Sunday!

Stay on topic:

• This thread is only for comments discussing the uncertainties, shortcomings, and concerns some may have about Monero.
• NOT the positive aspects of it.
• Discussion can relate to the technology itself or its economics.
• Talk about community and price is not wanted, but some discussion about it maybe allowed if it relates well.
• Be as respectful and nice as possible. This discussion has potential to be more emotionally charged as it may bring up issues that are extremely upsetting: many people are not only financially but emotionally invested in the ideas and tools around Monero.

How it works:

1. Post your concerns about Monero in reply to this thread.
2. If you can address these concerns, or add further details to them -- reply to that comment. This will make it easily sort-able.
3. Upvote the comments that are the most valid criticisms of it that have few or no real honest solutions/answers to them.
4. The comment that mentions the biggest problems of Monero should have the most karma.

The first principle is that you must not fool yourself — and you are the easiest person to fool.
