XMR is essentially a credit card where it's impossible for anyone to exploit your personal information for any purpose. It's already better than everything out there. The fact it enables some crime is merely a side effect. We need more technology like this. Technology that makes it literally impossible to abuse its users in any way.
This is my biggest problem for crypto. For us power users we are fine but for the average joe and my parents I would never let them hold their own keys. You here every day people getting scammed and hacked now imagine if they could lose all their life savings because they where not 100% tech savvy.
