A heart to heart with renowned Bitcoin Maximalists Tone Vays on whether Monero is digital cash or a useless project. I have a ton of respect for Tone Vays and all the great work he has done toward helping grow Bitcoin and communicating the real value proposition of cryptocurrency. But, given Tone's understanding of why the Bitcoin technology is so important for preserving liberty in the digital age, I don't understand why he is negative toward Monero -- a fairly launched, open source, distributed, digital cash project, that has made improvements upon Bitcoins privacy and fungibility shortcomings.

We asked Riccardo Spagni, aka @fluffypony, aka the CEO (Chief Entertainment Officer) of Monero some big questions !
Is Monero the truest crypto currency of them all? Is Monero humanities greatest hope against the rise of surveillance capitalism?
What motivates you to work in Monero? Are you a crypto anarchist or cypherpunk trying to build tech that will give humans more liberty ?
Is Monero more aligned with cypherpunk/cryptoanarchist ideals than bitcoin? Why aren’t the idealist Bitcoiners like Andreas Antonopolous more serious about Monero ?
Is bitcoin is dangerous because it fools very smart people into opting into a future where all our transactions on our transparent ledger?
Do we even have want to be added to Coinbase now? Not being added seems to be the best indicator that we are doing something right. Coinbase can’t handle true digital cash.
What are reproducible builds? Will they help make Monero more decentralized in terms of development?
Is bitcoin digital gold? Isn’t Monero be better digital gold since it’s fungible at the protocol level?

Is Monero’s mining more decentralized than Bitcoin’s?
What strategy will Monero be taking to thwart ASICs?
When will ASICs become commoditized and when we will we welcome them on the Monero network?
What can be done to prevent an undetectable inflation bug in Monero ? Is it possible to be perfectly binding and blinding?
What do you think about Monero’s tail emission v Bitcoin’s fixed supply ? Is Monero effectively more secure because of it? Is it possible that one day Bitcoin’s max cap will have to be raised? Isn’t gold disinflationary like Monero?
What do people mean when they say Monero can’t scale? We have dynamic blocksizes? Is it that transactions and the blockchain are too large and you can’t run full nodes? Won’t moors law save us?
Will Monero have Lightning Network?
Will it have a Mimblwimble sidechain?
Why isn’t an ICO use case for Tari ever discussed?
What do you think of the new SEC guidance? Is it another reason why we should move away from pow tweaks?
