I have a feeling that anymore additional steps from these Monero developers and we might see some kind of special ban against Monero in the USA. I remember that South Korea and Japan did the same thing years ago on requesting exchanges to remove Anonymity based cryptocurrencies in their platform which they did. Yes Monero will still be available in other ways but the thing is if if users have been found holding Monero they might go in jail because of it so really Monero might just be digging their own graves if they did further steps.
Well, in vain they did it. Any cryptocurrency is safe as long as it does not interfere with centralized services that require the KYC procedure.
Now all exchanges are working with special services, and they have removed their informants.
The only way is to create your own mining pool with the highest hash rate, or to control large pools, then you can access the information and decrypt the data.
This might be true since all steps I have seen for limiting the availability and use of anonimity focused cryptocurrencies are all in a phase of banning them in crypto exchanges but the thing is the government will always have a chance to go into drastic measures when a certain situation happens, what I mean about that is when criminals starts to shift more and more on these privacy coins I think the government will not just be paying any devs to track them anymore but just create a law banning them.
