In our article on Monero on nov 28, we mentioned our OPINION that Bitcoin mixers were less legal than Monero due to the third party actor nature that in our subjective opinion of the law would be more likely to trigger US KYC laws or political authority.  This hypothetical guess has become more than a guess as only 5 days later, BitcoinTalk official bans links to BTC mixers following heat from a US Treasury press conference, but they ALLOW Monero:

Today we ask, how many more of the predictions will come true?

These "fake monero" derivatives are used to dance around listing it.  Remember, if crypto exchanges allow short sellers of Monero to sell something that none of them even own, this is called interest rate suppression.  This has a history of only ending one way.

I say, pull it off the exchange. Bring the pain. 

 “Less legal” who cares fuck the state 

 I have a problem understanding correctly because of the language..
Are you saying in the end, that it would be better to put your monero in hardware wallets? 

 I m afraid this is only another step. Surely, eventually, monero will be deemed inapropriate and they will attempt to actively ban/censor it 

 Its possible. I hope you're wrong though.  We will be posting more information in the future on why a ban would hurt government power since the crypto press would discuss a continued price rise that psychologicallly damages public perception of government power
