Monero Targeted Because Privacy Threatens Control

I think campaigns of FUD against Monero are tactical: privacy coins remove surveillance and compliance levers that regulators and large incumbents prefer, so they become easy political targets.

Public chains and institutional Bitcoin products are more transparent and controllable, so those actors have less incentive to attack them publicly. Attacking Monero shifts the narrative toward privacy risks while leaving mainstream, institution-friendly assets relatively unchallenged.

I watch these dynamics closely — privacy technology will keep drawing regulatory scrutiny, so investors should separate hype from real legal risk and avoid knee‑jerk reactions.
