There is optional publicity which enables also "honest" trading (trading that has been taxed). Monero is very much like cash - cash can be anonymous if it is not tracked but it can be public if it is tracked. So far governements have not forbidden using cash... I see the future of Monero very similar and I hope Monero is not too much associated with criminal activities because that is the very thing which might cause some misunderstandings among the regulators and thus they might want to ban Monero with no sufficient information.
Do you want to engage the shrinking fascist economy, or the growing one (black/dark markets)? People need to get their brainwashed heads out of their **** and realize that 'illegal' and 'criminal' has no bearing on anything good or bad, merely that some folks with guns don't like it because they don't get a cut or it undermines their politics. PC and law abiding is, in general, an indication of a complete lack of the ability to think. Of course, one must play along to a sufficient degree in order to avoid being singled out. Still, it makes me a little sick to see people toe the line so readily. Social media is a breeder of sheep.

I think there should be some regulations, and I agree the majority of countries are regulating too much.
Dark markets in general are fine for me but the criminal activity attach to it is something I am not personally willing to associate.
You are wrong in your statement that illegal stuff has nothing good or nor bad. I do not know what do you perceive as good/bad but personally
I consider it bad that there are illegal guns for sale (I might get killed by a gun or someone close to me might get killed).
I consider it bad that there are some people who are drug addicts and once they got sick from their addiction I am the one who pays their medical treatment costs in form of higher taxes (if they are responsible of themselves, I do not so much care how badly some people want to destroy their lives).
I consider it bad that there is market for stolen goods because I am one of they payer of those costs in form of higher insurance costs.
As long as we have a government/system that takes care of issues (not anarchy) there are tons of bad things in dark markets. If the entire system is different and everybody is responsible of themselves, then I am willing to give up from my view of dark markets but as long as I am responsible with my money some other's criminal activities I consider it bad, just like parasites.
But anarchy probably will not work either because it will not be just to people who are disabled/somehow in a weaker position (physically/financially).
Some kind of middle way is to lower the barrier to act (less taxes, less bureaucracy etc).
-but it will only rise to 164 than...think its still not enough too squeeze out some shorters
