    Yup, but they can make it really inconvenient, to the point where law-abiding citizens will likely just give up.

    I haven’t and don’t intend to buy anything illegal, I just don’t want the government tracking everything I buy. But there are limits to what I’ll put up with, so hopefully enough people like me will transact in Monero so the government locking things down will tick off enough people to discourage them from doing so.

      Yep, and the best way to get that to occur is to help show people why they should be transacting with it. Take businesses, for example. Normal credit card transaction fees are 3%. Normal Monero transactions are 1 US penny. If you get a transaction that is 3 cents US, that’s an expensive transaction.
