  Which is really unfortunate. If you avoid the most popular coins (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc), you avoid most of the scams and speculation and end up with a decent currency that respects your privacy and has low fees.

      Yup, Monero is probably the best option. I’ve heard good things about Z-cash, and Bitcoin can work on the lightning network.

      Monero is perhaps the best option imo. Here’s the official page about it, but basically:

      • not profitable to mine, so most miners are enthusiasts who want the coin to succeed
      • privacy-focused - basically creates a ton of fake transactions to mislead snoopers
      • relatively popular - seems to be the most popular coin recommended by privacy enthusiasts (e.g. Mental Outlaw, he even gives a discount on his store for Monero)
      • not popular among speculators - they mostly stick to the big ones (BTC and ETH), as well as new startup coins
      • low cost transactions, fairly short transaction window

      It’s far from ubiquitous, but it’s popular enough that if a place accepts any crypto, there’s a good chance they accept Monero as well.

        Is it really the best option when no business uses them?
