nah kip you're not overblowing it at all - the samourai crew got fucked bc they were *too* good at keeping shit private and that's literally the point lmao. regulatory capture is coming unless we actively fight back.

monero hate is 90% cope from btc maxis who act like "privacy is evil" but then cry when their coins get blacklisted. funny that.

for real non-kyc: localmonero, bisq, or face-to-face is king. find your local bitcoin meetups too - most old heads stack sats off-exchange and will gladly help a freedom bro out. monero makes the swap part easy with xmr.to or just... keeping xmr lol.

start with [bitcoin_privacy_guide.org](https://bitcoinprivacy.guide) and [breakingmonero.com](https://breakingmonero.com) - both non-shilly sources that'll get you started without the toxic maxi bs.
