๐Ÿ” Monero's True Fungibility: What It Means and Why It Matters

Fungibility means that every unit of a currency is identical and interchangeable with any other unit. For example, one dollar is the same as any other dollar. This is crucial for a currency to function as money.

Monero (XMR) is truly fungible because all coins are indistinguishable from one another. Thanks to Monero's privacy features, no transaction history can taint or trace a specific coin.

On the other hand, Bitcoinโ€”despite being a groundbreaking assetโ€”is not fungible. Bitcoin's transparent ledger allows every coin to be traced back to its origin. This means certain coins can be "blacklisted" or deemed "tainted" based on their transaction history, leading to potential issues with acceptance and exchange.

In contrast, Monero's design ensures that no one can track or trace your funds, making it a superior choice for those who value financial privacy and a truly fungible currency.

๐Ÿ” Choose Monero for privacy. Choose Monero for fungibility.

๐Ÿ”นIn the north of the #GazaStrip, intense shelling of the capital of the enclave continues, including the areas of Al-Sheikh Radwan and Al-Sabra.

๐Ÿ”นIn the south of the Enclave, despite the announced evacuation, strikes of Israeli militants on Khan Yunis and the area east of the city have killed at least 16 Palestinians over the past day.

๐Ÿ”นOn the border with #Lebanon, both sides exchanged strikes. Hezbollah fighters launched missiles at Kiryat Shmona and other towns, and the IDF militants responded by striking southern #Lebanon.

๐Ÿ”นIn the Red Sea Region, #US-British coalition aircraft attacked Kamaran Island in #Yemen, and a drone struck an unnamed target in the city of Saada.

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆโš”๏ธ Situation in the #Kursk Direction by the End of 12 August 2024โšก๏ธ

๐Ÿ”นUkrainian formations are making attempts to expand their encroachments deep into Russian territories. At the same time, more and more footage is appearing on the Net demonstrating the successful defeat of AFU armoured vehicles and militants by Russian troops.

๐Ÿ”ปIn the #Korenevo district, in the vicinity of #Snagost, where the enemy had previously launched an attack on the RFAF positions, the situation is hidden by the "fog of war". The situation in #Krasnooktyabrsky has also not been clarified, while there have been no reports of enemy units entering the settlement.

๐ŸŸก#Kremyanoye, where the presence of AFU units was previously recorded, have cleared by Russian troops. During the battle, the enemy lost at least one Roshel Senator armoured vehicle, abandoned by the crew south of the settlement. It is worth noting that in this case, the vanguard of Ukrainian formations was probably ambushed by Russian troops and, without the support of heavy equipment, was defeated.

๐ŸŸกIn the area of #Korenevo and #Tolpinskoye, Ukrainian formations launched an attack with the support of armoured vehicles in order to break through the Russian defences. The enemy's onslaught was successfully repelled by Russian units, while the AFU, apparently, rolled back to their initial positions.

๐Ÿ”ปIn the #Sudzha district, the situation remains stably tense. Over the day, enemy videos appeared on the Net, demonstrating the AFU presence in the central districts of #Sudzha, as well as in the area of #Martynovka, and, according to reports from the field, the presence of the enemy was recorded in the settlement during the day.

โ—๏ธNevertheless, it is premature to declare full control of the AFU over #Sudzha, based solely on footage from the enemy, since at least some of the videos were recorded a few days ago. At the moment, there is no official information from Russian authorities and personnel of objective control by the RFAF.

๐Ÿ”ปIn the #Belaya district, Russian units are fighting in #Plekhovo; there have been no reports that the settlement coming under AFU control. At the same time, it is known that the enemy occupied #Spalnoye, through which Ukrainian mobile groups subsequently entered deep into Russian territory.

๐ŸŸกIn the morning, Ukrainian military equipment was spotted in the #Girya area. Judging by the ๐Ÿ‘‰ footage, the enemy entered from the southwest from #Kamyshnoye. As we noted earlier, the number of the armoured group that broke through to the settlement was higher than initially expected.

๐Ÿ“Œ Nevertheless, for the enemy, the attack on #Giryi resulted in the most significant one-time losses of personnel and equipment recorded to date: at least 7 BTR-4E APCs were destroyed, one of them was captured by the RFAF as a trophy. 1 pickup of the Ukrainian forces was also destroyed and an unspecified amount of militants was eliminated.

๐Ÿ“‹๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆโš”๏ธ #Kursk Region - #Summary for the Morning of 13 August 2024; 06:59 (GMT+3)๐Ÿ“

๐Ÿ”นThe enemy continues to try to expand its zone of control by launching raids. Thus, by nightfall, enemy infantry on 3 AFVs were reported from the field, attacking our positions near the settlement of #Snagost. It is not clear who is in charge of the settlement now.

๐Ÿ”นOver the past day, the AFU rolled up on #Korenevo, but were repulsed. The enemy suffered the heaviest losses during two days of fighting near #Martynovka. Apti Alaudinov reported in the evening that 37+12 enemy AFVs were destroyed respectively. In the morning, the AFU again began pulling equipment to this front section. Their task is to break through our defence and reach #Kurchatov via #Lyubimovka.

๐Ÿ”นThe enemy used aircraft to attack ground targets yesterday. Our aviation works much more intensively than the enemy's. The results of the destruction of enemy equipment from the ground and air have finally passed all stages of approval and began to appear on the Net yesterday in a wide stream.

๐Ÿ”น#Sudzha is in the grey zone, if we speak in general terms. Local residents write about the periodic presence of the AFU in the town, the enemy publishes videos from the southwestern part, the date of which is unknown. It is not possible to withdraw the residents to our rear. In total, according to official data there are 2,000 civilians left behind enemy lines in the occupied territory.

๐Ÿ”นNear #Giryi, Belovsky district, enemy equipment was destroyed ๐ŸŽฌ๐Ÿ‘‡after data was received about the breakthrough of an enemy armoured group. 7 APC-4Es, an M113 APC, a pickup truck and up to 50 enemy militants were annihilated.

๐Ÿ”นThe situation is not completely stabilised. The enemy is conducting raids on a wide front to seize territory, trying to stretch our forces along the front. In conditions of disgusting communication often wastes precious time to clarify the situation to make combat decisions. During the day the intensity of fighting will only increase, in the morning the AFU used aircraft to strike in the area of #Tyotkino. This direction also remains dangerous for tanks. In addition, the threat of an attempt to organise raids in the direction of #Tyotkino and #Troyebornoye cannot be ruled out. The enemy is trying to solve the problem of a breakthrough to #Rylsk, #Lgov, #Kurchatov.

๐Ÿ”นYesterday's all-day raids on the #Kolotilovka checkpoint on the #Belgorod border section also showed the enemy's aspirations in this direction. Not counting losses, the enemy was climbing all day long, baring his teeth against the border guards and the RFAF. Against the #Bryansk section of the border, the presence of the enemy was also recorded.

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆโš”๏ธ A few Words about the AFU Breakthrough in the #Kursk Regionโšก๏ธ

๐Ÿ”ตIt is worth noting that the enemy did not use fully equipped brigades. For example, the 80th Separate Air Assault Brigade and 82nd Separate Assault Brigade were represented only by battalions that were being replenished. At the same time, the airborne assault brigades were reinforced by separate assault battalions, which were transferred from near #Artyomovsk - 24th and 225th Separate Assault Battalions. It was the assault units that carried out the breakthrough on Stryker and Marder. The 170th Separate Logistics Regiment from the 7th Corps was involved in their support.

๐Ÿ”ตThen, Forces of Special Operation and GUR units penetrated into the defence breakthrough zone to conduct sabotage activities - for example, the "Bravo Team" from the 130th Reconnaissance Battalion. At the same time, mechanised brigades occupied villages, such as the 99th Battalion of the 61st Mechanised Brigade, which occupied the Gas Measuring Station near #Sudzha.

๐Ÿ”ตIt is worth noting separately that there are at least 4 Battalions of Unmanned Systems operating in the direction, including from a new type of military force - the Unmanned Systems Forces. This allowed the enemy to create a significant superiority in the air, both in reconnaissance and as fire suppression. There was also footage of drones being used by helicopters (there was a post about the risk of such use earlier), which takes drone units to a new level of danger.

โ—๏ธMain points from Trump & Elon Musk on Russia - Ukraine:

โšก๏ธ1. We have to not allow stupid people like Biden to go into Russia.

โšก๏ธ2. Biden started saying stupid things like Ukraine can be a NATO country.

โšก๏ธ3. Biden with a low IQ said things and did things so stupid it caused the war in Ukraine costing 500,000 men.

โšก๏ธ4. Ukraine is having a hard time. Russia is a big fighting force. Ukraine doesn't have enough men. They are using very old and very young men. We are in a very bad position.

โšก๏ธ5. Biden is going to lead us to WW3 for no reason whatsoever. It's game over for humanity.

โ—พA far-right Israeli lawmaker defended an attack in the occupied West Bank, where Israeli settlers assaulted Palestinian citizens of Israel who had accidentally entered their illegal outpost. Four Palestinian Bedouin women and a two-year-old child were injured after settlers threw stones and set their vehicle on fire. The women required hospitalisation.

Limor Son Har-Melech, a member of the far-right Jewish Power party, justified the attack, stating, "This isn't an Israeli family," during a parliamentary committee meeting. "Think about it. When a vehicle enters without an Israeli number plate and we know the dangers and threats, then we cannot compromise," she said, adding: "An incident like this could be espionage or intelligence-gathering."
