Why Vivaldi will never create ThinkCoin

Because he’s been dead since 1741.

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.

Any proof of work coin is a no go for me

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.

It's still an entirely pointless waste of energy for digital drug money.

Didn't expect the "privacy is only for criminals" take here

i like banano because its a memecoin where the proof of work is distributed computing for medical research

That is interesting and seems much less wasteful! I have thought often of my time in the 2000s using my PS3 for Folding@Home. So many processor cycles being wasted on nonsense right now

Name me a private POS coin like Monero, I’ll use it.

Transparency of a financial system is also a feature.
