Well that's a relief. I was always skeptical about CipherTrace's claims related to tracing Monero transactions, as they were unable to provide proof to the public. It looks like it was all part of a scheme to scare away people off the Monero blockchain. After all, governments don't want people to achieve true financial sovereignty. Now that we know CipherTrace's claims are false, we can finally confirm that Monero is rock-solid when it comes to achieving full-fledged privacy. With the XMR blockchain upgrading itself every 6 months, Monero will be able to live up to its name as the best anonymous cryptocurrency in the world.
Nonetheless, we have to admit that no system is perfect. There will always exist flaws/vulnerabilities that need to be addressed. As long as the XMR community remains vibrant, the project will survive for a very long time. There are a vast number of developers working day and night to ensure Monero maintains security, reliability, and anonymity. Since the project is decentralized and open source, Monero will be able to stand the test of time. Regardless of what governments' efforts may be, the censorship-resistant nature of the Blockchain will make Monero truly unstoppable. Ultimately, governments will shut down Fiat on/off ramps for Monero. But people will still be able to get access to it "behind the scenes". Just my opinion
