Somebody please tell me what's up with Monero. I thought it was some kinda cryptocurrency? In what way does it avoid or mitigate any of the overwhelming number of problems those inherently have?
It's essentially the only cryptocurrency that has privacy, so is good for paying for VPNs and such.
Others like Bitcoin are not private and your transactions are visible.
