I like Monero. Not a shitcoin, used by people and its private.

Other than Monero, I don’t think other cryptocurrencies are usable. Even BTC, ETH. Wallets should be private. Bitcoin doesn’t protect you from government.

Monero's POW algorithm is very different from most others tho because it brings in randomization, which makes it way more efficient to use a CPU instead of a GPU and distributes what miners mine, making powerful systems get less and slow systems get more.
