Buy Monero [XMR]

What is Monero (XMR)?
Monero (XMR) emerged in 2014 after the Bytecoin (not Bitcoin) fork. It’s a decentralized digital asset based on a private blockchain. “Privacy” here means that Monero transactions cannot be traced. The identities of both sides, as well as the amount of transaction, remain hidden. What’s the use of such privacy? The answer is simple – with huge amounts of data placed on public blockchains (for example, Bitcoin and Ethereum), it becomes way easier for the specialized companies and malefactors to define trading and behaviour patterns of users as well as to link online profiles to real-life persons. Therefore, if you don’t want your data to be analyzed for someone else’s profit, and if you want to protect your personal data, using Monero makes sense.
