Kicking out regulators and custodians is 100% the situation you want for cypherpunk money. Plus it goes up in value, so what's the downside again?
Discussion
You didn't kick out regulators and custodians, they dropped you. Good lord Monero boys are a dense group.
Monero will never be money used globally. Never.
Real people, companies, and corporations will not take it for manufacturing, oil, minerals, space flights, wholesale wood, pork bellied, etc...
Banks will not create financial products, loans, insurance using Monero. There will be no local banks enough masse that will create savings accounts for Monero, there will be no major inheritance products designed to distrobute to kin, and on.
There will be nonproperty tax paid in Monero.
There will be no bonds issues in Monero at city, county, or federal levels.
Economic zones and countries in their global trade will not be done in xmr, ever.
I could give 2 shits some darkweb and random places accept it. I am talking about the real world. I am talking about paying the power company, you muniple trash bill, taxes, everything that actually gets transacted daily.
If your thesis is that governments will cease to collect taxes or that they will allow you to pay in a currency that has no auditable and provable ledger to make sure the money didn't come from drugs, China, whatever, you are out of your fucking mind.
Bitcoin has the best chance, but I am not sold it can do it either. But there is a 100% chance Monero does not become a globally accepted currency
I am sorry you invested in a cryptocurrency that didn't and won't get adopted, that sucks. But let's not play childish pretend games.
Bitcoin has lost its ethos. Its more and more monitored as more govs buy it. They wouldn't invest billions of fiat shitcoin if they couldn't watch everything very closefully. They stop now your transactions, block you funds etc. Congrats to that development.
And no one use Monero? 😂
Oh wow. You got me. 98% of VPN services are paid in fiat. Does that mean fiat is better?
Oh, that one is good. Where exactly have I heard the same arguments before?
Well, it was Bitcoin at the very beginning. But chances are you have detected it only a decade later. So you will never understand how Bitcoin felt back then for early backers and users.
Hint: The only thing that reminds me of that time is Monero.
