Yes definitely a defeatist attitude but I am hopeful that CBDCs will be a gateway drug for things like Monero and/or Bitcoin.
What's your take on my point about CEXs banning coins with privacy on L1 (I believe there was an instance related to Litecoin in Korea being banned due to MimbleWimble)?

Delistings should be embraced, not run from, as they lead to people avoiding KYC natively.
If "they" don't want you to have something, you can safely assume they at least see some danger in us having access to it.
But those delistings are also why building tools like atomic swaps and decentralized exchanges have been a focus for the Monero community and our voluntary funding via donations.

Do you know of any updates related to the Monero<>BTC atomic swap? I recall there being an alpha with a GUI, but then the service stopped functioning.
IIRC you posted it in one of your blog posts

The COMIT network atomic swaps have been abandoned by the team who made them (lots of dubious things behind that, apparently...) but the work on the more complete and well thought out atomic swap protocol, Farcaster, continues:

They are actually leveraging a lot of similar modularity to some of how Lightning is built, hopefully we will get a community update from them soon with the status in more layman's terms, but I know multiple people behind it and they're making solid progress.
