I began reading the info provided on Monero and was intrigued by this statement: “More and more people want their money private from banks and governments …”. A long time ago they people used to hide their money in mattresses because they didn’t trust banks. Several years ago in the USA people started throwing around the phrase about banks being “too big to fail” and there was a bailout because … well! … we don’t want the whole country to fail, do we? Incredible! So is Monero the “new mattress”?
