# Bitcoin is dangerous

Bitcoin itself is not a scam, but it's extremely dangerous to even get into it these days.\
Not only because it's not private at all, it's entirely controlled by the establishment too.\
Better get into Monero, and keep your wealth there!

## 99% of the crypto's are a scam

So many weird shit spun up since Bitcoin became a thing, yet Bitcoin and Monero are the only 2 coins that aren't scams.\
The only 2 to not be based upon a company, a personality, a meme, or some other unrelated shit, Bitcoin and Monero are the only 2 that's just money and nothing else, m'kay.

## Bitcoin scammers

I'll tell you what happened to me when I swapped my Monero into Bitcoin.\
So I sent quite a lot of Monero to TradeOgre (the only centralized exchange left that's not KYC, the only exchange as a whole that has no personal details on you at all), converted into Bitcoin, and sent to my Bitcoin wallet.\
A few hours later, my email inbox started getting littered with Bitcoin scammers asking me to either do business with them, or lend them some money, or whatever, and they all knew my real name even!\
It's pretty freaky stuff, because Monero is tied to nothing, my TradeOgre account is not tied to any identity, and my Bitcoin wallet is pretty much unused.\
But then I realized that I once used this wallet to send to a KYC exchange I'm no longer allowed to be on, which was my mistake.\
So after a few days I swapped it all back into Monero (made only a tiny gain by the way) Atomic Swaps, and all of the sudden the scam mails stopped coming in.\
The moment the swap got completed, it literally went down from 100s of mails a day to 0.
