The government could ban exchanges

No exchanges makes it useless for most

Okay 👍

So, basically make it impossible to trade crypto for fiat?

Please Login to reply.

So is monero banned? The availability of monero in exchanges in very limited. I guess it depends on your definition of banned.

Still available on Kraken and a few others

But there are many options to buy, swap, and sell it

Yes or somehow block transactions with bitcoin nodes on the internet somehow

This is crap. Only ordinary citizens will be affected. Criminals will operate out of crypto havens like El Salvador

😖

But couldn't you use VPN to bypass this if you had your own node

It's literally one extra step. That's the worst they can do.

Instead of:

Exchange <-> XMR

It's now:

Exchange <-> LTC, DOGE, BCH (or your crypto of choice) <-> XMR

You can also get get cash, or digital fiat, for XMR directly with crytpo ATMs and things like LocalMonero and Haveno(soon)
