All those people who elect to use it at coincards, shopinbit etc, such that Monero is the most used coin there, sure seem to think otherwise.

All the darknet markets buyers and sellers, who really need the privacy and anonymity in their payments, sure seem to think otherwise.

All the governments who ban it, either explicitely or behind the scenes, sure seem to think otherwise.

It'll never cease to amaze me that self-professed believers in free market and individual liberty somehow manage to blind themselves to the truth when it's not convenient (i.e, not congruent with their unchecked assumptions and dogmatic beliefs).
