The single-coin decision

Dropping Bitcoin was not a shortage of features. It was a stance, and once you see what a public ledger keeps, it is the obvious one.

A market that takes two coins looks generous until you ask what the second coin costs the buyer. Bitcoin is not private. It never was. Every transfer is a permanent public record, and the whole industry of chain analysis exists to walk those records backward to real people. Offering it as an option means offering a way to be traced, and most buyers who pick it do not fully price that in.

Removing a decision, not a capability

BlackOps settles in Monero and only Monero. From a buyer's side nothing useful is missing, because the coin you would have reached for on any privacy-minded market is the one that is here. What is gone is the trap door. There is no cheaper-looking Bitcoin path that quietly writes your order into a ledger for later. One coin, chosen because it is the right one, not because the market ran out of time to add another.

What Monero hides that Bitcoin shows

Three things travel in the open on Bitcoin and stay hidden on Monero. Who sent it, ring signatures mix your spend with decoys so no single input is provably yours. Who received it, a stealth address is generated per payment so the address on the chain is never the recipient's real one. How much moved, confidential transactions hide the amount while still letting the network verify the math. None of this is optional on Monero and none of it can be turned off by accident.

The honest trade

Monero is not accepted everywhere the way Bitcoin is, and you may have to work slightly harder to acquire it. That is the real cost, and it is small next to a permanent public record of your spending. For the kind of purchase that brought you to a hidden service in the first place, the single-coin rule is doing you a favor. It closes the door you should not have used.
