Unfortunately BTC has been built around CEX that are now KYC/AML extortion traps.

Luckily Monero got delisted and for better or worse is forced to build the DEX and atomic swap ecosystem that can not be rugged.

This will have tremendous value in the future. Just like it has tremendous value that BTC has so much liquidity in 1000s of trading pairs.

A lot of that flew over my head.

How can I learn more? 🙏

The idea here is

by embracing delisting and acclimating to operating *outside* the tradfi area

see: DEXs, p2p markets, circular economies etc

monero gets a headstart on actual grassroots usage

and relatedly

develops immunity to manipulation by 3rd parties.

otoh, BTC

by embracing adoption by tradfi

actually weakens its censorship resistance

true or not...? its a matter of perspective.

but basically true I think.

I think you’re right, it’s a starting point to avoid detection/disturbance for grassroots p2p markets.
