In addition, the delistings of Monero from centralized exchanges played a very important role - it raised the "price" of XMR in the eyes of non-tech goys.
Let me explain.
Centralized exchanges = banks for crypto goys = part of the existing system = controlled by the state.
If anyone believes that Brian Armstrong from Coinbase (or any other CEO of a CEX) is fighting for you and your freedom, think again.
The purpose of delisting XMR from large centralized exchanges = to remove the ability for non-tech crypto goys to buy/sell XMR, because goys should not have access to an instrument such as XMR.
But all this has led to non-tech goys simply appreciating XMR even more, which they receive for their goods/services.
A simple example: I recently onboarded a new merchant to XMR. I explained to him the advantages of XMR over BTC, and explained to him how governments are fighting XMR, and that the Monero community uses XMR as a digital currency to directly purchase goods/services from other goys.
Considering the fact that I helped him with Bitcoin (onchain + Lightning wallet) + EVM wallet (for stablecoins) and Monero wallet, he always chooses XMR and wants me to pay him in XMR.
I also explained to him that the more merchants accept XMR, the stronger we are as ordinary people. I gave him the task of telling another person about XMR, helping them with Monero wallet, and buying goods/services with XMR.
Nothing unusual, just practicing agorism. ๐
