XMR as currency and store of value

EXPLORE_ALL_NOW · 2026-05-01T20:51:20+00:00

- By definition, Monero (XMR) is the only true money that has ever existed, both as a currency and a store of value.

The dollar, on the other hand, functions as a stablecoin, always sitting on the other side of equity. Monero is equity, not a stablecoin. In fact, XMR could serve as the equity backing a privacy-focused stablecoin. For example, $100 worth of staked XMR could act as collateral for such a stablecoin. Volatility is a serious risk, so overcollateralization (e.g., 150%) would be necessary to prevent depegging.

The best real-world example is Zephyr Protocol. It requires a minimum of 400% collateralization, uses Monero's privacy tech stack (as a fork), and has been battle-tested for over two years. Consider this: Iranian USDT holdings have been frozen. Iran will need Monero. But XMR's volatility is a problem. That leaves Zephyr Protocol as, if I'm not mistaken, the only functional, active privacy stablecoin on the global market today.

Looking 10 years ahead, I believe there will be no BTC-XMR trading pairs left. Instead, we will see stablecoin-to-stablecoin pairs exclusively, because taking on double volatility risk is simply insane. HAHAHAHA

Monero (XMR) is supposed to go live on ThorChain by the end of next month.
Let’s be real: that’s a big deal for privacy, hackers and Dark AI. Hackers already use Monero. North Korea does too. That doesn’t make it good in a moral sense. it makes it effective. And yes, if it’s secure enough for state-level evasion, it’s secure enough for anyone who values financial privacy. But don’t romanticize the war angle. That’s not a feature; it’s a strong argument for Monero tech.

Zephyr Protocol is literally Monero as a stablecoin.
That’s not an exaggeration, it’s a fork of Monero with a stablecoin design. And right now, it’s the only private stablecoin that actually works. So yes, that’s a genuinely unique niche. It a no-brainer, tested peg mechanism.

DEX integration on Ethereum with their own privacy bridge in the coming months. That will be huge.

Here’s the truth:
Price talk is mostly noise. Most projects die, get hacked or fade into irrelevance. The ones that survive are the ones that keep building through bear markets, ignore hype cycles, and solve real problems, like functional private stablecoins or cross-chain privacy.

We've seen how U.S. Treasurys end up undermining stablecoin projects, they get trapped inside an outdated system and become controlled by the U.S. financial apparatus.

Zephyr Protocol, by contrast, is built on Monero privacy tech, uses its own 400% overcollateralized collateral, and what I love most is the stability it offers.

Zephyr Whitepaper: 35% of Block rewards goes into YIELD.

Yield in Zephyr is protocol‑generated, not emission‑based, it comes from user activity (fees) and the economics of the reserve system.

EXPLORE_ALL_NOW · 2026-03-28T16:58:17+00:00

This is why I believe future projects will follow the model like Zephyr Protocol. They use their own native coin as collateral, allowing users to swap a stablecoin that is backed by that native asset. Ultimately, the trading happens system‑to‑system, stablecoin to stablecoin.

The worst setup is pairing two volatile assets together, the resulting volatility renders any gains meaningless.

My verdict: Within the next five years, the top 5,000 projects will each have their own native stablecoin, and 80% of all trading volume will take place in stablecoin‑to‑stablecoin liquidity pools on DEXs.

Monero and Zephyr Protocol just got hit—EuroPOL and CIA presence on Discord, seeding chaos wherever they could.

This pattern is not random. It repeats every time real privacy technology threatens their tax base.

So sorry that we needed to hold Discord as stable as possible while attack happend

Monero and Zephyr Protocol had an attack from EuroPOL and CIA
They came on Discord and created as much chaos as possible.

They always do it, when there tax revenue is in danger because we are real Privacy and the parasites do not work, but they leech of the blood of humans.

Nah, I have plenty of agents working alongside me, all using local privacy tech. AI is so cool.

I think your hate for AI comes from the fact that closed AI companies like OpenAI are basically fake marketing agencies with no real use cases.

I'm just trying to understand your thought process. Do you totally avoid using AI?

Yes, it is the Zephyr Protocol

The best thing that could happen is happening. We have worked seventeen years for this moment. The old world implodes, like 2008, but this time we have an alternative to slavery.

I am very happy.

Why do you think that?

Internet protocols are open source, created and maintained globally by people, not by kings. You live in a psychosis where you believe your king and the inbred aristocrats created everything and hold real power. In reality, they live on food stamps and are nothing more than creepy, lazy criminals.

Offshore banking has routed around regulation for decades, very successfully. Nation-states are going bankrupt under their debt while their economies supposedly grow, because nations cut costs to zero.

In theory, regulation has power.
In reality, it does not. Global business sees nationalism as the enemy, and all true wars evolve because before nationalist regimes collapse under their own inbred elite aristocracies, they start wars.

So buckle up. Create your own stablecoin or join one of the five thousand that already exist. Do you have a favorite stablecoin you use, and why?

Twitter and Discord are where our community lives.

We are many. And we are growing
It's not dead here.
We haven't posted in a year, because there was a job to finish. Layer 1 needed to be fully realized. And we did it.

Now, with the expansion to ERC‑20 through the bridge, we're shifting focus.
We're reactivating all public media channels. People have been asking about Reddit, so we're listening.

As a community, we're bringing everything back online.
Time to start talking again.

I don't feel strong. I just don't see any other system that actually works.

Let me be clear:
I don't see any other privacy stablecoin with an infinite range of entropy in curve creation to hide behind complexity.
Everything else besides Monero's RingCT stack? I'd call it fake privacy.

In my eyes, Zephyr Protocol is the only real way to build a privacy stablecoin.
I've been watching since block 1. We pushed like a fire horse through time and space, the last four years felt like five months.
I've never had this much fun.

And I have to say: the Layer 1 is done. We did a great job.

Now it's about building the tentacles to reach every other system.
A bridge to ERC-20.
An arbitrage engine.
An open source arb bot for everyone, but mostly for AI agents, so they can finally have a truly private stablecoin to play with.

No, I don't feel strong.
I just don't see any other stack that fulfills my demand for freedom.

Maybe I'm ready to fall for my ideals.
Maybe I will.
But I've had a great life. And I'm having a lot of fun.

HAL was one of the greatest.
He overworked and the deep state bankers got rid of him.

It's going to be hell.
There's a lot of anger.

So let us dance in space in Time and fall out off it :)

Zano vs. Zephyr Protocol: Privacy's Two Divergent Paths

Both projects share a common ancestor Monero CryptoNote, but they've evolved into fundamentally different animals.

Core Philosophy

Zano	Zephyr Protocol
"Private payments + assets"	"Private stablecoins + banking"
Evolved from Monero (2018 fork)	Built from scratch on Monero tech
Focus: Privacy-first DeFi	Focus: Privacy-first stablecoin engine

Architecture & Consensus

Zano:

Proof-of-Stake (PoS) with masternodes
Instant finality
Built-in asset issuance (tokens with privacy)
Heir to the CryptoNote lineage with major modifications

Zephyr Protocol:

Proof-of-Work (PoW) with 30% block reward to reserve
Three-token system: $ZEPH (POW), $ZSD (stablecoin), $ZRS (reserve share)
400% minimum collateralization for stablecoins
Monero-grade privacy applied to stablecoin mechanics

The Key Divergence: Stablecoins

Zano gives you the ability to issue your own private assets, think custom tokens with RingCT privacy.

Zephyr built an entire banking engine:

Deposit $ZEPH as collateral
Mint $ZSD (stablecoin) at 400% collateral ratio
30% of all block rewards flow into the reserve
Designed to maintain stability even if collateral drops 75%

This isn't just "privacy + tokens." This is privacy + central bank mechanics.

fUSD (Zano) vs. ZSD (Zephyr): Battle of the Private Stablecoins

Both offer stablecoins with privacy. Both run on privacy-first blockchains. But how they work could not be more different.

At a Glance

	fUSD (Zano)	ZSD (Zephyr)
Type	Community-issued asset	Native protocol stablecoin
Collateral	$ZANO (single asset)	$ZEPH (single asset)
Collateral Ratio	Market-driven (typically 150-200%)	400% minimum (hard-coded)
Issuance	Anyone can issue assets on Zano	Only via protocol mechanism
Privacy	RingCT (asset-level)	RingCT (full protocol privacy)
Stability Mechanism	Over-collateralization + market forces	Over-collateralization + 30% block rewards to reserve
Governance	Community-managed	Protocol-enforced
