Then you're in the right place.

>widely adopted e-cash.

not going to happen, the State will never tolerate widespread circumvention of monetary controls, of that you can be damn sure. Which again brings us back to the permissionless shadow economy.

>Yet Monero keeps having opportunities handed to it, Argentina, Venezuela, the Canadian bank seizures, Nigeria banning crypto, China banning crypto, yet keeps dropping the ball. You keep getting golden opportunities to build your circular economy beyond drug markets (not multi trillion a year, maybe half a trillion, but online drug sales are only 1% of this), into markets that actually matter. But every time people opt for Bitcoin or something like Tether (as evidenced by the massive number of USDT transactions on Tron), not caring about the apparent privacy advantages.

lol what's the rush? People opt for stablecoins because unlike everything else they're predictable, pegged to a familiar currency and there's *currently* no crackdown on users or vendors accepting it. If that were to change and privacy suddenly started to matter more, you'd see a pivot towards Monero.
