It works until it doesn't.

The FCMP++ update will make monero's obfuscation capabilities much better, the community right now is radioactively toxic in an unbearable way, it wasn't this way 2 to 4 years ago.

But I do agree that's how things tend to gravitate in uncensored places.

I'll still be swapping fiat for it but it's hard to publicly endorse it right now.

A lot of things are uncertain right now, I just feel that goldbacks bring that certainy into focus moreso than anything else does at the moment.
