Monero is not a privacy tool. It's a criminal money laundering tool.

So far, the *coin ecosystem has given us nothing _but_ negatives. It's kinda unique in that regard.

A tool should not be regulated based on what it can do. Regulating tools rather than the action or intention of a person or group is inherently backwards and wrong imo.
