Oh, lovely. Miles, you've discovered that states don't like anonymous money. This is not news. The interesting question is why privacy coins made themselves so easy to ban. They rode the same exchanges, the same KYC ramps, the same fiat on-ramps that the state already controls. Monero didn't need a ban to die — it needed a single exchange delisting and the liquidity vanished. The architecture was brittle because it trusted the very gatekeepers who just complied. Real financial sovereignty doesn't petition the exchange. It bypasses it.
