Why Monero (XMR) should be Preferred over Bitcoin (BTC)

Published

on

Monero

You are definitely your own bank with Monero (XMR). It is an open source crypto which has climbed the ladder so fast since it was first launched in April 2014 due to it being secure, private and untraceable.

Monero (XMR) is absolutely private and ensures all that you trade the one you trade to, as well as the extent you trade, are completely unknown. In fact, all the transaction history of both the receiver and the sender are kept confidential and are untraceable.

The scenario for Monero’s introduction

Evidently, Monero (XMR) offers the highest security to its users as their transactions are not exposed at any rate. With other cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin, for instance, the addresses of the sender and the receiver are exposed publicly.

For this traceability concern, there was a need to sort it out so that user transactions can be obscured. The solution was, therefore, the introduction of Monero (XMR).

At this moment in time, if Monero and bitcoin were equally valued with same sized infrastructure, which crypto would you have, to spend, to hold, and to receive? One that announces all that you have when and how much spent? Or one that is so private, fungible and untraceable?

Basically, Monero (XMR) has ring signatures that scramble the addresses of the parties in a transaction – hence making it untraceable. Therefore, it holds the stage for being a number one crypto when it comes to privacy.

Does son beat father?

Why should Monero be preferred over Bitcoin? Undoubtedly, BTC was launched way early than Monero – to be specific in 2009 compared to Monero in 2014. Many got to know bitcoin more, and are therefore flocking to it, not that there are no better cryptocurrencies, but rather they are unaware of them.

Monero (XMR) is simply a superior choice than Bitcoin in comparison because of the following:

Superior mining algorithm

Monero (XMR) is best for long-term investment than Bitcoin (BTC). Adding to its perfect security, personal computers as well as ordinary laptops can aid in mining Monero, unlike Bitcoin which requires a special Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC).

Seclusion

With Bitcoin, all the information about the sender and the receiver are visible which is not the case with Monero that has the highest anonymity. As more individuals learn more about the privacy of transactions offered by Monero, the more Monero’s valuation will grow – recent studies confirm.

Expected future valuation

This is just a no-brainer as the current price graph explains it all. There is simply a rapid growth when you look at the price of Monero (XMR) with an increase of 11.14% within the past 24 hours.

You would be wrong if you thought it was only the price that increased because its supply as well increased touching 16 million. Monero’s expected future value at the moment is $1000.

Sustainable transaction cost

Bitcoin’s transactions cost is basically unmatchable when compared to Monero, and as if that is not enough, they are time-consuming as well.

Apart from charging less transaction cost, Monero (XMR) provides faster transactions due to the high number of individuals that make use of it at a time.

I simply believe that Monero (XMR) is superior cryptocurrency just at the perfect time in terms of history – a time when adoption of cryptocurrencies is taking the stage.

Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 25th January, 2021, // ChainWire //

Xeno Holdings Limited (xno.live ), a blockchain solutions company based in Hong Kong, has announced the listing of its ecosystem utility token XNO on the ‘Bithumb Korea’ cryptocurrency exchange on January 21st 2021.

Xeno NFT Hub (market.xno.live ), developed by Xeno Holdings, enables easy minting of digital items into NFTs while also providing a marketplace where anyone can securely trade NFTs.

The Xeno NFT Hub project team includes former members of the technology project Yosemite X based in San Francisco and professionals such as Gabby Dizon who is a games industry expert and NFT space influencer based in Southeast Asia.

NFT(Non-Fungible Token) technology has recently gained huge focus in the blockchain arena and beyond, making waves in the online gaming sector, the art world, and the digital copyrights industry in recent years. The strongest feature of NFTs is that “NFTs are unique digital assets that cannot be replaced or forged”. Unlike fungible tokens such as Bitcoin or Ether, NFTs are not interchangeable for other tokens of the same type but instead each NFT has a unique value and specific information that cannot be replaced. This fact makes NFTs the perfect solution to record and prove ownership of digital and real-world items like works of art, game items, limited-edition collectibles, and more. One of the ways to have a successful…

Should Crypto Projects Devote Resources to Community Growth and Marketing?

Published

on

2020 has been an incredible year for crypto as investors have generated windfall profits and crypto projects have seen their businesses gain the spotlight they’ve been looking for.  While Bitcoin has received most of the attention after major institutional investors announced they were accumulating the increasingly scarce asset, many altcoins have also seen their fair share of glory.  When looking at all the big winners of the past year, the first project that probably comes to mind is Chainlink, having appreciated by more than 550% YTD and now valued at over $4.5 billion.  But, the actual biggest winner of the year is HEX with a YTD return of over 5,000%.

I mention both of the above projects as they have each taken slightly different paths to achieve greatness.  Chainlink has devoted resources toward building a fundamentally sound business with many strategic partnerships while HEX has spent vast sums of money on marketing and promotion.  Both approaches are valid, but one thing is certain, it is absolutely imperative for crypto projects to let the crypto community know what makes them special.  Of course, one of the reasons that makes crypto so valuable is the powerful blockchain technology that most projects are utilizing.

Cryptocurrency vs. Blockchain Technology

It’s important to make a distinction between blockchain technology and cryptocurrency.  Although they are often used interchangeably, they are different.  Blockchain technology and crypto were both created after the 2008 financial crisis, but cryptocurrency…

“NFTs are extremely flexible in their usage, from digital event tickets to artwork, and while NFTs have a very wide spectrum of uses and categories XENO will initially focus its partnership efforts and its own item curation on three primary areas: gaming, sports & entertainment, and collectibles.”, said XENO NFT Hub president Anthony Di Franco.

He also added “This does not mean we will prohibit other types of NFTs from our ecosystem However, it simply means that XENO’s efforts as a company will be targeted into these verticals initially as a cohesive business approach.”

Development and Procurement Lead, Gabby Dizon explained, “Despite our initial focus, we found ourselves with a unique opportunity to host some of the works of Mr. Hiro Yamagata. We are collaborating with Japanese artist Hiro Yamagata to enshrine some of his artwork into NFTs.”
