Monero (XMR) is private digital cash. Unlike Bitcoin, your balance and transactions are completely hidden. Nobody can trace who sent what to whom. It is as easy to send as Venmo and as private as physical cash (more private, actually). Buying XMR on Kraken and sending it to your Cake Wallet is like withdrawing cash from a bank into your personal safe. Once it is in your wallet, only you control it. No one can freeze it, reverse it, or even see it.
