Apparently criticizing b*tcoin is not allowed and I can't even create the page on it since it's a banned word. So I'm putting this under Monero. This is just and AI generated draft I thankfully made first instead of bothering to write the full article yet which I would have liked to have has with valuable information for people that live in countries in china so that they can safely use Monero without getting their organs harvested for not using a tor bridge. The hate for this topic is unreal.

=== B*tcoin: The Misleading Promise of Privacy ===
Monero (XMR) is a cryptocurrency launched in 2014 that uses cryptography to ensure all transactions are private and untraceable by obscuring sender, recipient, and amount details.
 
==== Original Goal of B*tcoin ====
B*tcoin was created in 2008 by an anonymous entity known as Satoshi Nakamoto. The original goal was to establish a '''peer-to-peer electronic cash system''' that would enable transactions without the need for a central authority. This was a response to the 2008 financial crisis, aiming to create a transparent, decentralized financial system.
 
==== Why B*tcoin Cannot Provide True Privacy ====
B*tcoin transactions are recorded on a '''public ledger called the blockchain'''. While this ensures transparency and security, it also means that all transactions are visible to anyone who accesses the blockchain. This lack of privacy is a significant drawback for those seeking anonymity.
 
==== Misconceptions About B*tcoin Privacy ====
Many people believe that B*tcoin offers privacy because they do not fully understand how the internet or blockchain works. The internet is a '''network of networks''', where data is transmitted in packets between devices using standardized protocols. Similarly, the blockchain is a '''distributed ledger''' that records transactions across multiple nodes in the network.
 
==== The Solution: Monero ====
Monero is a cryptocurrency designed to provide true privacy. Unlike B*tcoin, Monero uses '''ring signatures, stealth addresses, and confidential transactions''' to obscure the details of transactions. This makes it much harder to trace the flow of funds, offering a higher level of privacy.
 
==== Additional Measures for Users in Restrictive Countries ====
For users in countries like China, where internet censorship is prevalent, additional measures such as '''Tor and Tor bridges''' are necessary. Tor (The Onion Router) helps anonymize internet traffic by routing it through multiple servers, while Tor bridges are used to circumvent network restrictions.
 
==== The Misleading Promotion of B*tcoin ====
Despite its limitations, B*tcoin is heavily promoted by companies and influencers who may not fully understand or care about its privacy issues. This promotion can mislead the public into believing that B*tcoin offers more privacy than it actually does.
 
In conclusion, while B*tcoin has its merits, it is crucial to understand its limitations, especially regarding privacy. For those seeking true anonymity, alternatives like Monero and additional tools like Tor are essential. It's important to be well-informed and cautious about the claims made by promoters of any cryptocurrency.
