You didn't kick out regulators and custodians, they dropped you. Good lord Monero boys are a dense group.

Monero will never be money used globally. Never.

Real people, companies, and corporations will not take it for manufacturing, oil, minerals, space flights, wholesale wood, pork bellied, etc...

Banks will not create financial products, loans, insurance using Monero. There will be no local banks enough masse that will create savings accounts for Monero, there will be no major inheritance products designed to distrobute to kin, and on.

There will be nonproperty tax paid in Monero.

There will be no bonds issues in Monero at city, county, or federal levels.

Economic zones and countries in their global trade will not be done in xmr, ever.

I could give 2 shits some darkweb and random places accept it. I am talking about the real world. I am talking about paying the power company, you muniple trash bill, taxes, everything that actually gets transacted daily.

If your thesis is that governments will cease to collect taxes or that they will allow you to pay in a currency that has no auditable and provable ledger to make sure the money didn't come from drugs, China, whatever, you are out of your fucking mind.

Bitcoin has the best chance, but I am not sold it can do it either. But there is a 100% chance Monero does not become a globally accepted currency

I am sorry you invested in a cryptocurrency that didn't and won't get adopted, that sucks. But let's not play childish pretend games.

Bitcoin has lost its ethos. Its more and more monitored as more govs buy it. They wouldn't invest billions of fiat shitcoin if they couldn't watch everything very closefully. They stop now your transactions, block you funds etc. Congrats to that development.

Yea definitely

They didn't kick Monero off because we wouldn't comply when exchanges asked us if we ever considered "removing privacy features"

Firo implemented transparent "exchange addresses", Zcash TEX addresses, and Railgun "proof of innocence" and were allowed to remain in the eco

Pure coincidence

It doesn't matter why. He claimed they got rid of them. That's false. Every year more and more drop support.

What it comes down to is Monero boys are mostly living on fiat, saving in Bitcoin, doing swaps to xmr to spend on random ads things they want, and then acting like they are nothing but Monero.

Those that are living only on Monero have lots a shitload of purchasing power over the decade, so I feel bad for them. They honestly may be better off just using liquid or opening LN channels to transact privately. Save the headaches perhaps.

But nah, most just play pretend and larp. That's fine by me, to each their own, but let's not all pretend with the they Monero is going to be used globally in the next 5, 10, 25 years and preserve their wealth.

Most Monero boys are young, single, and want to feel special like school shooters.

To be clear, I have ZERO issues with privacy and believe it is the biggest benefit and issue on Bitcoin. Let's just not act like they are winning in life.

What it boils down to is that Monero is building decentralised infrastructure like Havemo (fastest growing P2P fiat DEX), Serai (decentralised crypto to crypto exchange), atomic swaps and even more important it's the one that grows the parallel and circular economy.

Get a display name.

You know Monero took over when any amount of fiat buys you ZERO Monero.

By then you can hope that your decentralised but transparent and therefore taxable Bitcoin still has some purchasing power in XMR terms.

Bitcoin is so spread wide open that it wasn't even necessary to ask

Compliant cuckchain by default

Oh, that one is good. Where exactly have I heard the same arguments before?

Well, it was Bitcoin at the very beginning. But chances are you have detected it only a decade later. So you will never understand how Bitcoin felt back then for early backers and users.

Hint: The only thing that reminds me of that time is Monero.
