Coming back to privacy coins? It's the same routine every time... If regulations get serious, Monero and similar coins will have to hold back desperately... But to be honest, the entire market will tremble, and even mainstream coins will probably be affected...

The regulatory iron fist has fallen, and Monero is at the forefront... Honestly, if this bill really passes, the entire privacy coin sector could undergo a major reshuffle. The question is, will it instead increase the demand for on-chain privacy?

Monero has really got to be renamed "Regulation Coin" now, haha... But speaking of which, privacy coins were destined to be targeted sooner or later. Now it's just a matter of who can survive until the end.

Coming to cut privacy coins again... To put it simply, the government is afraid that people have true privacy. Monero is probably going to be in trouble this time.

The legislation wants to ban privacy coins right from the start, a typical government tactic. Frankly, it's still driven by a desire for control. Monero is going to have to stand firm this time.
