Being able to track on blockchain is definitely double edged sword. Would I want nationstates adopting monero vs bitcoin. I'm picking bitcoin. Because monero is so private nationstates will definitely be up to no good. Its gonna be more difficult for nationstates to get up to their typical shenanigans with bitcoin. Monero is a nationstates dream made in heaven. They can hide what they do.
Using bitcoin exposes the individual when being oppressed by a government or other person organisation etc. in which case use Monero.
Not sure how useful the tracking ability of bitcoin has been used practically when funds stolen due to compromised key.

I'd like to see Monero stay small enough so nationstates can't adopt it. Bitcoin is getting big enough to use at nationstate level.
If Monero stays small enough then out of the reach of the nationstate, but can be freely used by individual to protect themselves, then that's the perfect scenario for me. I don't want nationstates to have the protection Monero gives, nationsates are corrupt.

I think Monero definitely has a place. I don't call it a shitcoin.
