    I disagree.

    Like it or hate it, crypto is here to stay.

    And it’s actually one of the few technologies that, at least with some of the coins, empowers normal people.

        Try buying Monero, it is very hard to buy.

        • Acquire BTC (there are even ATMs for this in many countries)
        • Trade for XMR using one of the many non-KYC services like WizardSwap or exch

        I haven’t looked into whether that’s illegal in some jurisdictions but it’s really really easy, once you know that’s an option.

        Or you could even just trade directly with anyone who owns XMR. Obviously easier for some people than others but it’s a real option.

        Both of these methods don’t even require personal details like ID/name/phone number.

        They have made it harder, but it’s not really hard.

        Just buy any regulated crypto and convert. Cake Wallet makes it easy, but there are many other ways.

        I myself hold Bitcoin and Monero.
