Vik Sharma has been discussing Monero (XMR) on social media, including a recent revelation that a Bitcoin OG converted $X million worth of Bitcoin into Monero. He also expressed his enthusiasm for the privacy features of Monero and questioned why other privacy-focused cryptocurrencies like Zcash haven't gained more traction. Additionally, he shared his personal use of Monero and Cake Wallet, a platform that enables easy transactions with the cryptocurrency.
