You do realize they have xmr off of the major exchanges world wide right?

Yes.
And if you need absolute privacy, like sending money to people governments say you can’t, you will need to seek out other means of shifting into Monero.
If BTC was like that, it would be treated the same way by exchanges. Which is why BTC caters to legacy systems.
Privacy will still be possible, eventually ✨
Yeah that’s why we have dex’s & atomic swaps cex’s are not needed.
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.
Some of them are only slowly coming back to their senses after they experienced their first BTC bubble. Let's not be too harsh.
Most novel Bitcoiners these days need more orientation, otherwise they already would have found their way to BTC and XMR more than a decade ago.
Not everyone will want/need to move to XMR. Most people don’t use VPNs and don’t want to start privacy paranoia.
Everyone comes to this when they need to, and everyone’s onboarding is vastly diff.
I’m here completely by accident… Because someone paid me in BTC 11 years ago when I was super uncertain about this space.
Didn’t know the journey it would take me on, or the sacrifices I’d have to make in life to stay on this path.
Most don’t need or want Bitcoin either…
They will all buy bitcoin at the price they deserve.
