If we talk about Monero, I only read two days ago that trading of this confidential coin on the exchanges of Belgium and Ireland is actually prohibited. Here is another example of such an attack on human rights to privacy and confidentiality of information about personal life.
It’s a shame, of course, that such an invention as Bitcoin and cryptocurrency is increasingly losing confidentiality. But I still hope that over time, for these payment options in the world, the issue of the existence of a separate sector of anonymous payments will still be formed and the issue of the existence of a separate sector of anonymous payments will be resolved by law. It seems to me that this is a necessary part of the lives of many people and regulation in this area should still be done.
Now, of course, the process is going in the wrong direction, but it will slow down and win back its rights to confidentiality. It's just a long process. It is unclear when this will be.
Well, you are absolutely right about that, I did not know that in those markets they had removed Monero from that situation, because knowing what governments are like and the actions they can take, it is very obvious that they wanted to silence all these projects, because it obviously goes against of their interests, and this is something that they want to have more control, they know that with Monero they lose control, there is more leakage of information that they will not see, and this is something that will not end now, this will be more and more persecution, I am sure that In the near future they will threaten that those who transact with Monero will sanction them.
In addition to Monero, there are several other privacy coins, but they are not so popular and promoted in the cryptocurrency payment markets.
But indeed, by the actions that regulators in different countries apply to Monero, one can judge the general direction of the fight against privacy and anonymous payments in general. Monero is simply the most famous such cryptocurrency and the vector for its application of indicators in all respects.
But, yeah, this type of ban on different exchanges in different countries clearly shows an attack on confidentiality and, in general, on the right of players and cryptocurrency users in general to anonymous payments. Unfortunately, the argument about the need to combat money laundering and KYC / AML is indeed a very powerful argument in the fight against crime, and such a right to confidentiality can only weakly resist such a general reason for stopping anonymous payments.
For now, anyway, that's how it is.
