It's a great privacy coin, and it really is a shame merchants don't (or most likely can't) accept it.

This is the thing really, if you can't use it, it has no value and may well cease to exist.

It's the de facto currency of darknet markets now. Monero isn't going anywhere. Exchanges come and go, especially scammy ones like Binance. It's laughable they talk about delisting Monero to protect their users and comply with regulations when they list hundreds of rug pulls and complete shit tokens all while lining their pockets with their own users' funds in the process. Fuck Binance and fuck CZ. Privacy is a human right. If you need a reminder of why we are all here:

We the Cypherpunks are dedicated to building anonymous systems. We are defending our privacy with cryptography, with anonymous mail forwarding systems, with digital signatures, and with electronic money.

Cypherpunks write code. We know that someone has to write software to defend privacy, and since we can't get privacy unless we all do, we're going to write it. We publish our code so that our fellow Cypherpunks may practice and play with it. Our code is free for all to use, worldwide. We don't much care if you don't approve of the software we write. We know that software can't be destroyed and that a widely dispersed system can't be shut down
