Anonymous privacy coin $ZEC —after it’s done, I think it’ll be $XMR next. Earlier, when ZEC was done it topped out; then ZEN and $DASH put on a performance. Finally, the real privacy coin XMR went through a main upswing, broke its all-time high, and its market cap entered the top ten.
Ever since XMR was delisted by major exchanges, it’s been running its own independent trend. At the protocol layer, XMR was designed with ring signatures, stealth addresses, and confidential transactions. These aren’t “add-on features”—they’re written into its bloodstream.
When you use XMR to send a transaction, it’s private by default; you don’t need to go find extra third-party tools. Even if the blockchain is fully publicly visible, no one can tell exactly how much you received or who you sent it to. Some people will say Monero’s liquidity is poor, so it’s not as mainstream as BTC. That’s true—there’s a weakness. But if we’re really talking about privacy, mixers are at most a “cover-up,” while Monero is the one that solves the problem at the source.
So I’ve always felt: mixers are a temporary compromise; Monero is the true privacy coin.
