Unlike say <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Bitcoin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bitcoin</span></a> or <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Ethereum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ethereum</span></a> one cannot track the coins from the moment of mining to their destination.</p><p><code>2.</code> Speed: Monero's network does mine one block every 2 minutes. After 10 blocks any transfered balance gets unlocked for spending. That means that a transfer is completed <em>at worst</em> within 6 minutes and the balance is being unlocked <em>at worst</em> after 24 minutes. This makes it faster than Instant-<a href="https://infosec.space/tags/SEPA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SEPA</span></a> which only has a 1 hour SLA.</p><p><code>3.</code> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Fungibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fungibility</span></a>: Like <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/cash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cash</span></a> all it's coins are equal, since they cannot be tracked. This makes Monero the digital equivalent of cash.</p><p><code>4.</code> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Scalability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Scalability</span></a> &amp; <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Stability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Stability</span></a>: Monero adaptively self-adjusts block sizes and mining difficulty based upon demand (transactions in it's <code>mempool</code> aka. requested transactions that have to be added to the blockchain) and supply (total blockchain hashrate). Unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum it has a fixed <em>Tail Emission Rate</em> of at least 0,6 <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/XMR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>XMR</span></a> (Monero) per block, so the miners solving it get at least 0,6 XMR (+ transaction fees), which is a longterm stable rate. Bitcoin and Ethereum will necessitate huge transfer fees once their last coins are mined to make sense, which will result in the crash of said cryptocurrencies as they'll be too expensive to trade!</p><p><code>5.</code> Anti-<a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ASIC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ASIC</span></a> and focussed on <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/CPU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CPU</span></a>|s of general-purpose machines: Whilst it does run on <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ProofOfWork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProofOfWork</span></a>, it's specifically designed to run poorly on <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/GPU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GPU</span></a>|s and not on <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ASICs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ASICs</span></a> as the latter one are not just <em>manufactured <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/eWaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>eWaste</span></a></em> but also inherently increase the centralization (with less than a dozen big miners controlling &gt;50% of Bitcoin and Ethereum's hashrate respectably). Thus it's the <em>"least worst"</em> in that regard. <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ProofOfStake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProofOfStake</span></a> is not possible due to it's privacy-based setup (<a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Staking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Staking</span></a> necessitates a public balance) and unlike a <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Shitcoin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Shitcoin</span></a> like <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FileCoin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FileCoin</span></a> it doesn't incentivize <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/hoarding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hoarding</span></a> components.
