Transaction history
When was the last time you published your bank statements online? Everyone can see the real-time balance of all your connected Bitcoin addresses.
Monero uses RingCT to protect the amounts of all transactions. No configuration, special wallets, or complicated steps are necessary.
Although IP addresses are not stored in the blockchain, snooping nodes can capture your connection data as you send transactions, connecting these transactions to your identity in the process.
Monero offers easy-to-use private networking to protect its users.
