I have much more faith in Monero than I have in the US dollar. If you were to offer me dollars or Monero, I would take the Monero every day without questions. This article says that Bitcoin is based on thin air, and as the other commenter pointed out, this is exactly what all fiat currency is based on. In fact, at least with Bitcoin and other good cryptocurrencies, you know how much supply exists and what supply will exist in the future, where with any fiat currency that is determined minute by minute by guys in suits that have nothing to do with the ordinary citizen.
Edit: Also, everybody with half a brain knows that Bitcoin is not to be used for criminal activities because it's completely traceable.
Uhuh...would you take Monero if it could never be exchanged for dollars?
I would. I have never used dollars in my entire life to purchase goods. But I have done so with Monero frequently
Either you're lying, or you're being pedantic. I mean fiat currency in general.
