Yes. It is untraceable to the people who are harmed by it, yet traceable to the powerful actors from whom it claims to protect. Your claims that Monero is fit for opposing state-level actors originate from salespeople, not scientists.
You’re replying to my comment that Monero is a scam. Your assertion that I prove it is untraceable is a non sequitur.
You haven’t demonstrated that it’s a scam. A scam is something that doesn’t do what it says it does. You haven’t proven that. You’ve made assertions, you’ve made claims, you’ve been very emphatic, but you have not provided a demonstrated evidence
I think you’ve gotten lost in the weeds. I didn’t come here to drop my 0-day on Monero.
I don’t know or care what legally-actionable claims are written on the side of the tin cans of authentic Monero purchased directly from the Monero factory. It matters what hucksters, con-artists, and true believers who are selling it claim. And considering the level of bullshit that fills the cryptocurrency world, demanding some rando meet your standards of proof in exchange for internet points comes off a little unhinged.
The most recent true believer claim is that the solution to Hispanic immigrant day laborers having their wire transfers being surveilled by the government is that they start using Monero. The reason that’s an absurd statement is obvious to almost anyone who has experience with immigrant communities, cryptocurrency, and/or reality.
One of the true claims you can make about Monero is that it is not traceable by people on a day laborer’s income. These are the targets of scams facilitated by Monero and other cryptocurrencies. If you’re a wealthy person who preys on desperate people, I guess Monero does what it says on the tin. But if you’re trying to reliably send your wages to family in a place without reliable internet and secured computer endpoints and your English and computer literacy isn’t great, Monero is one of many ways you can lose your shirt.
Cryptography (math) papers, are, in fact, the source of all truth.
If you don’t like crypto it’s okay, but don’t spread undocumented fear.
Maybe that’s why there so little overlap between respected cryptography researchers and crypto developers?
If you like tipping sex workers online it’s okay, but don’t spread a documented scam.
Sources please showing monero is traceable
The important thing about any cryptocurrency scam is that it can’t effectively be traced by the victims.
Meanwhile, you have only whitepapers on your side. No peer-reviewed journal has ever asserted Monero is untraceable. Meanwhile, there are some very smart people with a strong incentive to both test the ad-copy and while not breaking the illusion. Why are you so confident?
Now your talking out of both sides of a issue, it’s problem is that it isn’t traceable but also that it’s too traceable?
Yes. It is untraceable to the people who are harmed by it, yet traceable to the powerful actors from whom it claims to protect. Your claims that Monero is fit for opposing state-level actors originate from salespeople, not scientists.

Ok, so your screed against Monero is from the paper of “Trust me bro - A occasionally updated substack blog fueled by stale coffee and depression”
At least you admit implicitly that there is no known deanonymization attack on Monero.
