Thanks to the limmit cross post bot i ran across this FT article and at the bottom is the author’s email address scott.chipolina@ft.com. I sent the following email:

Hello,

I recently read your article about Binance delisting Monero. As a member of the community i see that *most of us are quite happy Monero is being delisted from centralized exchanges (CEX’s). I will put some links at the bottom to recent conversations for you. We in general are happy because we strongly believe that Binance and other CEX’s are playing fractional reserve games with Monero in order to suppress the price and make people feel “Monero doesn’t go anywhere, why bother buying it”. The community firmly believes that privacy is not a crime and with Monero being delisted from CEX’s we are forced further into our goals of decentralization to create decentralized exchanges (DEX’s). One working example for Bitcoin is Bisq.network and the Monero community is working on a version called Haveno. We also have LocalMonero, mining (which can be done on a normal computer), and buying/selling items and services to a worldwide market. We also have some few jobs that pay in Monero. Our goal is to build a circular economy completely seperate of the government and banking cabal.

As promised, here are some links.
