This has always been expected in the "then they fight you" stage.

Private cryptocurreny and taxation can not co-exist. It's eternal freedom or eternal coercion only.

If you are not prepared for going dark you'll have a hard time in the next decade.

Monero price is where it is due to price suppression, bad shaming, delstings and fear of making it illegal.

Now that it's official made illegal what else are they going to do. It's a litmus test. If Monero and opsec really work they will have no clue what is going on in the underground or behind every "reported" transaction. You can fully or oartially agree to do things off the records, but becsure that both trade partners know about their respective opsec risks.
