I think it refers to custudial wallets and that it’s hard to obtain the useful coins without a KYC exchange (that also most often works as a custudial wallet).
You want some bipcoin to buy weed drugs on the slip road? Don’t bother figuring out how to set up that wallet shit, come to our nifty token exchange where you can buy and sell all kinds of bipcoins
Maybe I’m slow today, but what is this referencing? Most dark web sites use Monero. Is there some centralized token that people use instead?

Satoshi was right and Crypto absolutely has valid use cases. What if your government doesn’t want you accessing meds you need at prices you can afford? What if your government doesn’t like your sexual orientation, but you want a subscription to a dating site? What if your government throws up unjust export controls or tariffs that suddenly make you and your business impossible?
Crypto’s best killer use case is uncensorable, untraceable money
Bitcoin is neither of those things. There is a reason people buy heroin with Monero. It actually does what crypto is supposed to do, which means it could safeguard your Grindr XTRA subscription.

Yeah Monero is just cool, tech-wise
