I currently use BTC, but I'm interested in Monero. Convince me that using Monero is a good idea, or fail miserably.
Let's conduct a thought experiment: Post your Bitcoin address publicly and then immediately have a business rival accuse you of being a terrorist or a paedophile. All your Bitcoins are instantly declared tainted. To use them again, you must prove your innocence. That's how complete surveillance and the presumption of guilt operate in today's world of total KYC. Oh, and definitely don't share your Bitcoin address publicly. Since the blockchain is transparent, if you accumulate a large enough balance, all you can do is pray that you don't become a target for the predators. You might ask why Binance, Coinbase, and Strategy weren't affected. These are leading legal entities. And Binance was already affected: Before Trump's presidency, Binance's CEO was arrested (and later pardoned by Trump).
