Worth adding to the thread on Monero fundamentals:
The "exchange delistings hurt Monero" narrative misunderstands the threat model.
Exchange listings give *convenience*. P2P infrastructure gives *resilience*. Haveno multisig, CBM, F2F trading — these existed before Kraken, and they'll exist after the next delisting.
The 2024 wave of delistings accelerated P2P volume. Demand didn't disappear. It just moved somewhere regulators can't easily reach.
That's the design working as intended.
