Monero still has a chance to shine if Bitcoin fails to deliver increased privacy. Like it or not, there will always be people in dark markets buying questionable shit... so there's a big market. As far as exchanges goes.. exchanges like Shapeshift under a VPN should provide sufficient privacy to exchange BTC for XMR.
In any case, not that I think XMR will be able to challenge a supercharged Bitcoin once we have sidechains, mimblewimble, confidential transactions and all of those.
There will always be a small handful getting arrested for it yeah..
I seen recent arrests from some brat who was selling Fentanyl.
He was busted and i expect many more to come.. various govts are cracking the whip.
My country is having an epidemic of deaths from that shit and a lot of it is coming from DM's.
Anyone having any part of that scummy underground system will be nailed hard !
Enjoy your Morono coins.. don't forget to hand over your picture ID to Poloniex fuckers LOL
By the way i was the one guy who predicted VPN's would be pwned hard.. they were.
There is a slew of ways you can compromise them.
Such as showing up with a warrant to seize the machines then letting them run with logging enabled for 2 years.
I predicted it by myself for a decade on Torrentfreak.. simply to warn people of a false sense of security.
I was just like here mouthed off 100% by the whole entire crowd.. claiming i was wrong ..endlessly.
I was right as always dumb fucking douche bags.
And the endless stream of News reports is my proof.
My old PC game cracking group / hacker buddy of mine was popped by the FBI.
What do you cocky ass dipshits know about security ?
Me i am a cracker.. with a life time of common sense on the web.
But hey don't take my word for it..
Listen to dipshit bag-holders trying talk up their fucking scammy ass little "ANON" coins on ScamCoinTalk.org
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT KIDIOTS
