>Don't get me wrong, black markets are great.

Black markets are permissionless. White markets are not.

>But if that's all it is, and it has no support in white markets or among ordinary people/businesses, then the feds will meet no resistance in trying to sandbox it as much as possible, shutting down merchants on LocalMonero, delisting it from exchanges, flagging Bitcoin associated with XMR/BTC atomic swaps.

See, that's the great thing about truly anti-fragile systems: it doesn't matter what anybody else thinks or does.

>That's why I think Monero as an investment or savings vehicle shouldn't be dismissed. That gets broad support from ordinary people

As previously explained, crypto as an investment doesn't work if most people buying it expect future profits, the math don't allow it, you're squarely in ponzi territory at that point.

>Then maybe try working towards generating broad appeal

lol

>your darknet currency narrative.

The darknet currency narrative is consistent with established reality and requires NO concessions from the State. Truly permissionless.

>But the number of legitimate businesses and people who would lose their shit at the feds if they tried to ban Bitcoin or Ethereum outright makes it near impossible to pull of.

Actual LOL. Yes, the State lives in fear of all the Bitcoin and Ethereum-holding puppet masters out there hahahahaha

>What I'm getting is that you want CBDCs to take over all white markets, not because it's good, but so that you can be right and be king of the little sliver you have left.

Yes, I'm literally on my knees praying for CBDCs to come and take my freedoms away. Nimrod.

I suggest you read the Crypto-Anarchist and Cypherpunk Manifestos to get a better sense of what this is actually all about. SPOILER: it ain't about pumping your bags.
