What happened?

Token not needed? Token not wanted? No one cares about privacy? Monero isn’t coming back is it bros.

SShhhhhhhhh!1
I am accooooomulating.
Delet this thread.

>"once people REALIZE that ALL of their internet traffic is tracked, logged, and permanently stored, EVERYONE'S gonna get on tor and i2p."
>"these 'credit card' things are going to flop so hard once people realize that they're basically putting all of their trust into multi-billion dollar corporations who are going to log all of their data forever and sell it to marketing firms. When people can't get a loan because some faceless credit agency says their "credit score" is too low, they're going to just switch back to cash."
>"wait till people realize that ALL of these major retail chains have cameras literally everywhere in the store and all of their movements are tracked, recorded, and saved forever-- everyone's going to go back to mom & pop stores to do their shopping."
>"people don't need privacy... Until they do! Once everyone realizes that Apple and Google have been basically sending all cellphone metadata to their servers to be stored permanently, they're going to switch to a FOSS privacy-protecting phone like the Pinephone or Librem 5."
>"once we reach the surveillance state apocalypse and everyone has their transactions recorded and used against them, surely people will be FORCED to use monero!"

Please. Normies will never care about privacy, especially if the whole media around them is telling it's evil.

>buy high sell low
Monero's privacy isn't its only advantage over Bitcoin. Monero's dynamic block size solves the fee market problem and its asic resistance ensures a decentralized mining network which can't be stopped.

I'm calling it. Monero and other privacy coins will the first to be targeted by the government with regulations. Then they'll let other cryptos which can be traced (BTC) to remain for a while so they can reap spoils via taxation. After which they'll unveil CBDCs and make that the new fiat. They may or may not allow traceable crypto to remain because hey, free extra tax money?

Yeah I see this easily happening down the line. If Monero keeps getting delisted from CEXes people will be forced to use Haveno and places like Tradeogre to trade it for tainted BTC or LTC, essentially forcing Monero users to stay out of the financial system forever... A sad, slow death

People do care about privacy and there are more and more projects coming out that focus on privacy like Venice Finance. They'r zk powered with front running resistance and cross liquidity aggregation. Don't count privacy out just yet user

Monero is fully compliant retard. What regulations would they "target" Monero with?

>Monero's dynamic block size solves the fee problem
While introducing a blockchain size problem. In 10 years it will be something like 100 terabytes and it'll be unfeasible to run a node.

What happened is that no one cares about cryptocurrency anymore, people only care about smart contracts and memes. Look at the top market cap coins. In 2015 they were all BTC clones, now they're all ETH clones. Simply being a currency is not good enough anymore, people see it and think "Isn't that the same thing as Bitcoin? And we know that that didn't work?"

kek and i did accumulate more of it with Sylo. so you mean it ain't coming back brooo.

You post this every thread and I always give the same answer: It's fundamentally different to have a monolithic company know your information, than it is to have your whole information be public. People are ok with Google knowing what porn they watch, because it's not gonna affect them anyway. But if their neighbors and children could see it, they would care.

I agree that Monero will never take off, but I'm pointing out that no other cryptocurrency will take off either, people are just content with credit cards.

Storage size gets larger and cheaper every year. Verification speeds get faster every year. This is clearly ideal to what Bitcoin is going to deal with long term. The tradeoff of it being harder to run a node is 100% worth it, and it is not like mitigations aren't in place (e.g. running a pruned node, almost yearly protocol improvements like clsag and bulletproofs +).

true, normie see something new and thinks it's the next big thing, yet all of these shitty ETH clones have nothing but DEXs running on them

best to stick with Sylo user it's promising.

>essentially forcing Monero users to stay out of the financial system forever... A sad, slow death
Many users of it claim a "parallel economy" would slowly grow as a resistance to the system. I want to believe it stands a chance, but I just don't see how they're going to fight such a beast.
user, they can pull any law out of their ass on a whim for some bullshit reason like "climate change" or "terrorism" and BAM, everyone will say the ban is "legit". You dare argue against them and you get the big ol' misinformation card.

Monero McAfee died...

>Simply being a currency is not good enough anymore
But the thing is though that only monero actually is a _good enough_ currency.

Good enough for what? For use? lol.
What I meant was good enough for hype, which is what the OP meant too. Good enough to get people interested.

>A “parallel economy" would slowly grow as a resistance

This is your brain on monero. I’m so glad I sold the instant you Reddit gorilla niggers starting buying this

How would monerocels cope when something like a fast POS L1 with zero knowledge shit gets built. One with actual defi and privacy.

Will you still hodl or bend the knee?

It is coming back!
You fell for the demoralization attempt.
Bag Monero, right fucking NOW!

>what is moore's law
>what is blockchain pruning for seminodes

>actual privacy
As an argument against the no.1 untraceable coin?
Off yourself self-luminous person

I made this post after I purchased 6000 monero at 143.Xx. My goals are beyond your comprehension
