Came into this thread to read about the reasons for the decline of XMR, but here are the last two pages are so much flooding that I absolutely did not understand the reasons why so Monero collapsed in a time when everyone was waiting for him lift. Can anyone make any suggestions about this?

this is a centralized shitcoin.

On a serious note, you have a weird idea of centralization.
asics bad ... botnet drones good!
