They just make it impossible for you to turn Monero back into real-world spending power without jumping through insane hoops.
No merchant acceptance, no payment processors, no payroll, no loans, no mortgages, no nothing in the ālegalā economy. You end up with the most private money that buys youā¦ almost nothing useful outside small P2P circles.
Thatās a cage with golden bars, not a Wonderland.
I understand your pure ideological winner approach regarding Monero, yet the reality will bring you down on earth when you use it as a day to day currency.
Youāre freeā¦ as long as you never want to buy a house, pay taxes legally, receive your salary, shop in internet, or do anything that 99.9 % of humanity does daily.
Thatās not freedom, thatās exile with extra steps.
Back to my post. Our problem, all of us, is that part of the world is trying to be tyrannical. So if you don't want to completely exile yourself from areas that trend towards authoritarianism, you need to find solutions to be able to live. You use Monero, I use Bitcoin. Fine. Instead of directing your energy to fight me, combat the real enemy.
