Monero Project admits thieves stole 6-figure sum from a wallet in mystery breach

https://lemmy.world/post/7993453 i.e. https://monero.town/post/1045387

While there are typical comments like crypto=scam “You have to be quite stupid to support crypto in 2023”, there are also replies like these (with which more people seem to agree, unexpectedly):

It’s designed to protect anyone using it - even attackers. That’s the price to pay for having privacy. The alternative is an Orwellian dystopia.

If you’re going to use Luna, FTX, and NFTs as arguments about something like Monero, […] you probably don’t really understand any of them.

It’s a bit odd that such a discussion is more active on a different Lemmy instance than here, but it’s interesting to hear honest opinions of various people about the incident, about Monero. Maybe your views are different from them, from mine. For example, one person states there that while they know exactly what Monaro is, they’re still skeptical.

I don’t think BTC is all bad, nor XMR is all good, but I think you have a beautiful dream.

Someone once said something like: “A dream without a plan is just a dream.” Then I was like, “A dream with a plan is just a business plan. If you think your dream may well come true, your dream is not big enough.”
