Problem is for most is that if they're only first being introduced to XMR their first thought is: how do I swap it to fiat. Since offramping is getting harder, this obstacle becomes larger. I think a growing monero counter economy helps this a lot, having lots if things to buy would alleviate the need to deal with fiat. Another help would be if bitcoin takes off as a household name as it seems to be heading towards since non kyc swaps to bitcoin are quite easy, and if atomic swaps become the norm, perfectly risk free.
