The fact is the whole scenario is more like the phrase privacy and Decentralisation enthusiast are fond of using which is " the government isn't a fan of privacy" and " the government don't like what they can't control" . The fact is definitely privacy coins will hold up but their struggle in progress would be more of adoption and also one for price too.
The problem is the government have put out so many rules and regulations that make privacy coins seem like illegal and that is basically the reason you can't find them on a great deal of centrallised exchanges. The whole thing seems more like they were taken off grid.
Actually, government already have some ways to discourage people from using privacy coins, they do it by using influencers that make privacy coins die from time to time.
However, this monero is still strong; even though they removed this coin from big exchanges like Binance, OKX, and other top exchanges, it is still gaining a price pump. It seems that this is going to reach the old ATH price; it is still bullish, and still many transactions were being made lately.
I think there's no problem about privacy coins and it shouldn't be illegal; other people just want privacy just to avoid other people monitoring their wallet.
I think Monero should make a cross-chain, I guess into another network, just to make this coin alive in big exchanges, and if the government wants to monitor transactions, because we do not know how long this Monero will last to some exchanges. What do you think?
