Personally, that’s the biggest green flag a privacy coin could ever get.

Let me explain.

It’s official. Under the EU’s new rules, every regulated exchange has to delist privacy coins, including 
$XMR
, by 2027. Loads already have. Something like 73"

> **Visual Note:** The image is a two-panel "Wojak" meme contrasting "CRYPTO IN 2012" with "CRYPTO IN 2026." In the top panel, a confident, smoking Wojak wearing a Bitcoin hoodie sits in front of a "BITCOIN FREEDOM NOT BORDERS" poster, declaring "FUCK TAXES. FUCK THE GOVERNMENT. FUCK THE SYSTEM." In the bottom panel, the same character appears stressed and sweating while drowning in paperwork labeled "TAX FORMS, 1099s, CSV, CAPITAL GAINS, REPORTING," asking "HOW DO I EXPORT THIS TAX DOCUMENT SO I CAN REPORT IT TO THE GOVERNMENT AND STAY INSIDE THE SYSTEM'S LINES?"

The meme illustrates how the original anti-establishment, libertarian ethos of cryptocurrency has been swallowed by regulation and tax compliance, supporting the post's suggestion that projects like Monero ($XMR), with its privacy-focused design, represent the last true embodiment of crypto's original

> **Visual Note:** A diagram titled "How a crypto mixer breaks the on-chain trail" showing deposits (A, B, C) flowing into a "Mixer pool - Funds mixed" and emerging as withdrawals to new addresses (1, 2, 3), with the note that "No on-chain link connects a deposit to any withdrawal." This visually illustrates the post's point that mixers don't make blockchains private but rather sever the traceable path between incoming and outgoing funds, unlike privacy coins like Monero and Zcash that build confidentiality into the protocol itself.  

> 
> "a crypto mixer doesn’t make the blockchain private. 

it breaks the visible link between where funds enter and where they leave. Bitcoin and Ethereum keep transactions public, so privacy can be added on top through different tools.

Monero and Zcash take a different approach by"

> "Could AI-enabled botnets eventually become a legitimate 51% attack risk for Monero?

Since RandomX allows normal CPUs to mine Monero, could increasingly capable AI make it easier for malware to infect huge numbers of home computers and secretly use their combined computing power? At Monero’s current ~6 GH/s hashrate, it seems like you’d need hundreds of thousands to millions of infected computers. That sounds enormous, but could AI making cyberattacks increasingly automated make this a realistic threat someday? Curious what people think."

On top of that, zero inflation and the protocol that buys its own token.

The thesis is simple. Integrating
