You do not understand Monero's appeal at the fundamental level: private digital cash.
AI beating cryptography? Great, paste Binance cold wallet Bitcoin address into Chatgpt, and ask it to transfer 100,000 BTC to your address. Doesn't work like that, does it?
Monero's value and usefulness are two different things. Monero works equally good at $200 and $200,000. Both at 300 and 300,000,000 daily users.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin is fundametally limited. It can't even support a single university using it as money, let alone a single town, or a country. It cannot survive non-custodial use. It can only work as a bank asset.
But I'm not sure you even understand what I'm saying. Have a nice day.

Not understanding the appeal and having a pretty good understanding of the govt's ability are two different things
I understand the desire for privacy. I think it's foolish of people to assume that privacy extends far enough to prevent ligation.
The problem is Monroe attracts people who think they can beat the system and all it does is highlight them, when they on/off ramps.
