What about Monero?
Afaik many (or all?) big centralized exchanges don't list Monero.
Also Monero price is a small fraction of what it was (compared to Bitcoin) in the better days.
And this makes Monero unknown or unattractive for newcomers.
Imho (de)centralization is secondary in many people's mind. First it has to be profitable.
The need for quick profit is the reason the hype of Memecoins is still ongoing
And utility coin like monero are fought against by the government ( can't blame them)
Decentralization shows its beauty in the long-run.
And not many know about monero except one is searching for ways to keep their funds private
Newbie wouldn't even consider it.
