I mean I don't think the maintainers of #TornadoCash deserve any prosecution.

After all, a Gunsmith isn't responsible for any crimes comitted with their product.

A Gas Station isn't responsible for selling the fuel for a Bank Robbers' Getaway Car.

The driver of the bus that once carried the 3 remaining ex-"Red Army Faction" fugitives isn't liable for having done so.

Even if we think #NFTs ain't the #scam|s and #grift that they turned out to be with maybe a single-digit number of exceptions:

WHY WOULD YOU PUT THAT ON #Ethereum?

#Solana clearly is the better #Blockchain for that since it's less susceptible to "#GasWars"...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solana_(blockchain_platform)

Now granted #Solana ony does one thing good and that is handling #NFT|s and "#SmartContracts"…

#Ethereum - like #Bitcoin  is a completely #Shitcoin as it's #PostPrivacy design, slow transaction times and absurly high fees make them only useful as "not legally #gambling" for people living in juristictions that ban gambling.

The only reason why #Monero  isn't seen as irredeemable #Shitcoin by be (unlike #Ethereum & #Bitcoin  ) is because it kinda does #UNIX-esque #KissPrinciple and does one thing only but good:

Transfer #XMR privately, relatively fast, at low fees.

In that regard it competes with (Instant-) #SEPA, #WesternUnion, #SMSpayment #TransferWise, #CashApp, #Venmo, #SofortÜberweisung, #PayPal (and as #PaperWallet: #Paysafecard).

The absurd #TransactionFees of #Bitcoin   and #Ethereum make them useless for anything but #Millionaries and #Billionaires comitting #TaxFraud and subverting #AssetForfeilture and maybe #bulk orders of drugs, tho #Hawala is far older amd capable of doing the same without a #Blockchain and #Monero  established itself as secure payment in the #Darkweb, since #IRS #bounties & #delistings are seen as Proof of Security.

Also #Monero's  low cost, stability, and ease of use do lends itself aa a alternative to #MoneyTransfers.

Personally I wished that the block rate wasn't 2 Minutes but 1 Second so that transactions and confirmations would be on part with #ec payments like #gurocard, #Maestro, #Visa, #MasterCard and #ApplePay, #SamsungPay, #WeChatPay, #AliPay, etc.

Also the fact that Monero neither crashed nor "Moon'd" since it's in tail emission of 0,3 #XMR/min or 0,6 XMR/block began speaks volumes.

This keeps the chain functional and costs down.

Personally I do expect all #Blockchains with finite units to inevitably "Moon and/or Crash" once the last #Shitcoin got mined.

And yes, #ASIC|s and shit that control  and #Ethereum are #EnvoirmentalCrime|s and should be banned for that reason alone!

I'd also like to point out that #Monero's  #AntiASIC position resulted in a more diverse or at least #decentralized #Mining #Community that isn't paywalled so hard that one needs to be a #Billionaire just to get Crumbs.

In fact #Bitcoin  's and #Ethereum's #MiningPower and #Coins are more centralized than #weath in the #USA and "P.R." #China and only beaten by #NorthKorea in that regard.

Tho considering #Buterin's Stake in #ETH I doubt it.

So #Monero   being stable in comparison to #Ethereum and #Bitcoin  avoids #centralized grifts like #Stablecoin|s.

Why anyone would prefer these over a non-custodial Exchange is beyond me, even if you're subject to harsh #accounting #laws like in #Germany...

So to come back to the original post at the beginning:
Why would anyone use #TornadoCash?
