I did not say that there is no longer any way to remain anonymous. I talked about trends - and the fact is that with the arrival of large players in the cryptocurrency, the rules are tightened and the entire industry is moving towards the fiat world. That is why real tools of anonymity (such as Monero) are being squeezed out from everywhere.
We just have to enjoy the moment that regulation in crypto is not so strict yet, with the kind of adoption we are hoping, it always come with strict regulation as whether we like it or not, our regulators will always enter in the scene, making crypto not serving its real purpose which is anonymity.
I agree with you. The sad thing is (maybe) now is the best time for cryptocurrencies. In the future, with continued adoption, the difference in the use of cryptocurrencies and fiat will be minimal. And given the fact that most users use cryptocurrency through intermediaries, then these minimal differences will be very difficult to see.
