Do you know what I don't understand of you? That you support privacy to the bone, but you're also in favor of using a currency that is broadly accepted. For instance, at the moment, you prefer using bitcoin rather than monero, because its adoption isn't significant.
You're thinking of an example where the governments have made it impossible to use bitcoin privately. In order for such thing to happen, they must behave completely autocratically, especially for shutting down mixers, P2P marketplaces etc. And I'm just saying:
What's the purpose of adopting globally this anarchic type of currency if you're going to have this behavior?There's no reason. Just force me to use your digital currency; that's clear. Why forcing me to use a currency whose purpose is to replace the middleman when I can't use it that way?
I tried to examine your sayings, but the following doesn't make any sense;
At that point, bitcoin will have failed in its objective to be a peer to peer currency without any third party intermediaries. And so I'll switch to monero. I don't think monero will never be a global payment solution, but more importantly, I'll be able to use it privately.
And here's my question, again:
What makes you think that monero will be your salvation if the governments behave so autocratically towards bitcoin? They'll shut down mixers, P2P marketplaces, they may even censor the transactions that are mined and thus, the ones who confirms them... And they won't deal with monero? They'll make it practically impossible to use it.
You're viewing the government as an absolute entity. That's fine, but I'm just saying that both bitcoin and monero are meaningless that way.
