If you are planning to buy it to use it, then why would this be relevant? If you are planning to buy to chase big gains, you have other options instead. I don't think the prospects of getting relisted are good right now.

Honestly, buying XMR is one of the smartest moves right now. I truly believe there has to be at least one solid privacy coin in the top 10 — it’s a cornerstone of what crypto tech is all about. Monero didn’t fall because the tech got worse, it fell because CEXes decided to delist it. That says more about centralized exchanges than about the coin itself.

Monero fell? If you are talking about ranking, sure. If you are talking about the price, it is doing better than 99% of the altcoins from the previous altcoin cycle. As companies keep printing altcoins with bigger and bigger valuation, this is somewhat inevitable. Monero has to improve its accessibility and UX if you want to onboard a lot of new crypto people. I think that is where the issue lies more.

This is exactly why people should start migrating to DEXes. CEXes act like gatekeepers — they manipulate listings and push their own agendas, and users just get caught in the crossfire. If we want real freedom in crypto, privacy coins like XMR and decentralized trading are the way forward.

While there have been improvements, acquiring XMR in a decentralized way is still not that accessible. Compare the action flows between acquiring a ERC20 token using a DEX if you own ETH, and acquiring XMR if you own another altcoin. Plenty of room to improve I think.
