Bitcoin was both a massive failure and success - a failure because it ended up not accomplishing its biggest goal of being a bank killer, but a success because it demonstrated not only the demand but that such a system wasn’t a complete moonshot.

Monero is here and always been. Research, and find you yourself. Monero is what Bitcoin was supposed to be
