You could say exactly the same thing about any form of encryption.

I haven't bought much with Monero, but I always offer it because I adore the premise. I personally think its great, one of the few truly valuable cryptocurrencies.

"Monero is created for and marketed towards cybercriminals..."

"You could say exactly the same thing about any form of encryption..."

That seems very untrue. I like my credit card details to be encrypted when I send them for the exact opposite of assisting cybercrime.

Maybe YOU could, and maybe you'd even be telling the truth, if you're going to this site over http and and not https.
