Proton isn’t reinventing the wheel with this crypto wallet. But it’s another solid option for people looking to create a crypto wallet for the first time. However, cryptocurrencies tend to be a polarizing topic, so let’s see if Proton Wallet doesn’t hurt Proton’s brand image in the future.

Monero is great for covering yer tracks, for sure!

Yup, just like cash, because that's what it's trying to be. It's as close to digital cash as you can get: untraceable, stable, low transaction fees.

I don’t have any yet and have never used it, but if I use crypto I think Monero is what I would do.

Same. I recently set up a wallet, but haven't gotten around to funding it yet. Some sites have discounts for using Monero, such as https://based.win (run by YouTuber Mental Outlaw, who's big into privacy and cyber-security), and I've thought about buying something from him w/ Monero to support him.
