I think a lot of Monero people are unrealistic.

They cannot sell Monero for fiat when cash is gone. They need Bitcoin as a store of value and an intermediary.

I don't accept Monero payments because I am not into barter. If others want to use Monero, I support that and their best bet is to find bitcoiners they can swap smaller amounts with. But who would need large sums of Monero? It is not a store of value.

The problems of KYC/AML is not an argument in favor of Monero.
