Unironically this. Monero is literally the only crypto that does what it says on the tin. Anonymous, decentralized, minable on commodity hardware. It basically solves internet micropayments. If you run a website, instead of ads you could provide users with well-behaved "support this site by enabling cryptominer while browsing" toggle that defaults to off. But no, that'd be "weird". Or in less gullible terms, it spooked some spooks (I mean in the Stirnerian sense, not the one the reader might be thinking of). And, well, there you have it. 16 years after Satoshi people patting themselves on the shoulder, considering it a resounding success how BTC has become toothless enough for PayPal to adopt, ffs. And as usual nobody putting 2 and 2 together till some hackers from some hellhole did. And presumably some other big picture thinkers saw it, too, the ones in the opposite of a hellhole who poured literal billions to turn a global plea for financial liberty into the largest FUD cloud since the Halloween papers.
