They fumbled the ball right out of the gate and never recovered. Been playing catch up ever since without much to show for it. And now that Monero is going full-ZK, they've lost what little tech advantage they had left, hence the pivot towards emphasizing compliance as a winning strategy. Dumb faggots cannot grasp that "regulated cypherpunk tech" is a contradiction in terms and has zero chance of ever being taken seriously.


So now they just make shit up to FUD Monero (addresses visible on-chain) and characterize XMR's dominance of darknet commerce as meaningless because criminals are low IQ.
