0.000 HBDWhat a seriously FUD article. I agree with your point "Safe Today != Safe Tomorrow", but the likelihood of RingCT being broken anytime in the near future is slim to none. The reality is that Monero is one of the only (if not the only) cryptocurrency **right now** that offers real privacy. Could quantum computing break RingCT? Maybe. It could also break Bitcoin, PGP, SSL, and **every other crypto**. >To promote CryptoNote currencies as "drug money" or a safe haven of any sort while failing to mention the impending future of complete exposure is not only being reckless and irresponsible but is also endangering other people who might depend on an anonymity without a time limit. Not sure who you are directing that at, but I've never seen a Monero dev promote it as "drug money". If you have evidence of that maybe you should include the link & reference.
