I agree in sentiment and can't find the link now but just yesterday I read an article saying the doj or fbi or someone like that had stated that just using Monero or zcash is suspicious behavior. I think this is part of changing the narrative from cryptocurrencies are bad to these ones are good (btc, eth,...) and anyone who uses any other ones is therefore definitely bad

Using large amounts of cash is also suspicious behavior. They're not calling on a ban, they're just stating a fact.
Didn't they say the same thing about general encryption not long ago?[0]

It's all PR work that the compliant media laps up. Most of us live in a world where guilt needs to be proven, not implied.
