Not those. I traded my tiny DASH and ZEC bags when I realized they were sliding towards the bottom of page 2 of CMC.

Yep LTC and ZEC because low fees

as a long time ZEC bagholder let me tell you about lethargic

oprah_2024

i havent noticed anyone depressed except for altcoin bagholders in stuff like EOS ADA ZEC XLM XMR other old coins that havent budged

Big-Finding2976

You're throwing shade on XMR by implying that ZEC is better because it's just as private but XMR has done something wrong that's unrelated to the fact that it's private to justify delisting it (naughty privacy coin), whilst ZEC hasn't done that bad thing so it hasn't been delisted (good privacy coin).

DazzlingSecurity5

Disagree. Both serve my purposes very well. For whatever reason, XMR maxis throw shade on ZEC yet ZEC maxis do not throw shade on XMR. Both are quality projects serving the need for personal freedom.

Big-Finding2976

If ZEC was a good privacy coin the exchanges would have been forced to delist it, like XMR.

There are no best coins in the space bar BTC/ETH. Get a decentralized wallet to invest long-term. Look into utility projects like LINK, FET, ZEC with solid infra and invest in them. You can also take a close look at projects that are about to be launched. For example, SUPRA. However, considering the volatility of the market, it is not advisable to invest and leave your portfolio for a few months.

zboyzzzz

Basically bought LTC and ZEC at all time highs

youngdoughnut

Privacy ETF with zcash trust/ZEC will be approved before Eth ETF.

youngdoughnut

I don’t either. I don’t think the government will allow truly private in large dollars, but I think it’s possible ZEC could be the next best thing/compromise. But true, privacy can be scaled depending on the code. It works well enough for the average Joe. Privacy’s an illusion anyway (ain’t that right NSA?).

vinibarbosa

My personal choices are: - Nano (XNO) - Monero (XMR) Also, Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Litecoin (LTC), Dash (DASH), ZCash (ZEC), and a few others still hold strong to the idea and vision of peer-to-peer decentralized money. It's not for the lack of working alternatives. Many like you realized this issue with Bitcoin (BTC) and moved on (I did it myself). There is nothing wrong with moving on to better tools. EMBRACE THE CHANGE!

anon00100100

$ZEC Very upset with myself didn’t lose money but sold at break even to avoid real loss. I got in at $20 and sold at $20. Converted it all to bitcoin but still it was my dark horse ult and I got shook out by potential delisting of privacy coins. All I’m on bitcoin now but wish I could’ve got some of the pump.

WoodenInformation730

weird, ZEC has implemented super-transparent addresses and Dash was never more private than BTC. I thought they would revert their decision on at least those two.

You are insane if you speculate ZEC😨

There still plenty of DEXs trading XMR and ZEC. If the dude has some basic Crypto knowledge he’ll be a ghost.

There are no "privacy coins". There is only one coin that CIA cannot crack the code, that is Monero. All others are trackable. Why is still ZEC and DASH on Binance? Because they don't work.

monerobull

No. Privacy coins, even Monero, are terrible investments. The crap ones like ZEC are even worse.

tldr; Grayscale Investments has filed with the SEC to launch a new ETF, the Grayscale Privacy ETF (PRVC), which will focus on data privacy companies and protocols, including blockchain-based solutions like Zcash (ZEC). The ETF will invest at least 80% of its assets in these areas, tracking the Indxx Data Privacy Index, and will allocate about 10% to privacy-focused protocols through Grayscale’s Trust for Zcash. The ETF aims to select companies based on their revenue from data privacy, prioritizing those adhering to regulations like GDPR and CCPA. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Well, come with a counter argument then. Monero has an algorithm even CIA cannot crack. Name another coin with same features. ZEC? DASH? They are tracable. Monero doesn't need a shill because it offers something that none other cryptocurrency has. I just pointed out the obvious after seeing the news today. The girl on the news, she wouldn't be facing 20 years in prison today just by simply using Monero. Sad.

OK so let me get this straight: Binance enlists every shitcoin memecoin rugpull bullshit they can find, but delists Monero? "The Monero"? Is that the story here? They are not only de-listing Monero but at the same time blocking withdrawals which means forcing accounts to sell their Monero instead. It looks like an operation to me rather than a simple de-listing considering that it was already expected months ago. This is a kill attempt similar to what happened to Bitcoin many times in the past. Monero is not a rugpull memecoin you can -40% in a day, you need serious organized effort to be able to pull that off. Monero is one of the oldest coins out there with a perfect algorithm to protect your privacy which has a perfectly running network for years. Monero is king of privacy and darknet. ZEC, DASH or any others doesn't even come close to it. Monero developers and community have some of the smartest minds on the planet. Monero has a circulating supply same as Bitcoin, it doesn't have trillions of coins out there and every whale I know is keeping a portion of Monero in their portfolio "just in case". CEX will come and go. Monero will stay. Here is an example from Jan-2021: [https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2021/01/01/bittrex-to-delist-privacy-coins-monero-dash-and-zcash/](https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2021/01/01/bittrex-to-delist-privacy-coins-monero-dash-and-zcash/) Where is Bittrex now?

> Sorry, no other solution. I'll agree there are no BETTER solutions, but there are other solutions. BTC-LN, LTC-LN, LTC-MEWB, ZEC and a host of other half-measures exist. Although XMR is far better at this than the others, it is getting delisted and more difficult to acquire. Likely because it works.

One13Truck

Wow. Been years since I saw ZEC and ETC talked about. May your 2017 badge become much lighter in a few months.

MalcomRey9988

ETH is a solid pick but I'm going to be honest...ETC and ZEC have been dead a long time. Just because something is cheap or low doesn't mean you'll get a solid investment out of it. Z Cash has performed very very poorly for 2 bullruns now....if you bought Safemoon in 2021 and sold it a year later even after it tanked you would have done better than buying z cash or ETC. I think privacy coins have a future for their intended purpose but do not expect them to make you money. Literally no one is interested in ETC since like 2018 and the same can be said about Zcash...be honestly im going to go with the top comment on this thread it feels like you've been in a six or seven year coma. Try to get caught up on any of the coins in the top 20 and I would switch ETC and ZEC out for 2 other coins. Link...Sol....Ada...I mean literally anything in the top 20 over ZEC and ETC...I mean you can invest in Pepe on ETH and Bonk on sol and you'll most likely do better than holding ETC and ZEC

hoenndex

Covert shilling for ZEC Zcash lmao.  I'm good, Bitcoin is the only reliable one, and maybe ETH.

ZEC has a high development tax. Some people think that is good because it guarantees development.

Give me a single alt ZEC has performed better against? I'll wait

Inevitable-Driver-53

The point is if ZEC can't outperform BTC at all you shouldn't be holding any ZEC at all.

YuntHunter

Just never buy ZEC, simple.

YuntHunter

There's no helping some people... If you bought BTC instead of ZEC in 2019 you would have 2,770% more money now. I dunno dude or just buy something that's going to chronically underperform, up to you.

YuntHunter

It's down 96% against BTC since 2019. What about this as an investment is attractive? For 5 whole years the market has told you nobody wants ZEC.

Elrondarius

I usually spend 20€ daily on lunch … and now i can buy ZEC. I also bought it for 150€ and i’m ZEC holder for years … If the price will totaly fail ( it’s also option ) i can use ot with it’s tech like a tool and no just for drugs.

YuntHunter

For the love of god don't buy ZEC. What part of a coin that has chronically underperformed throughout its entire lifecycle seems attractive. It's literally one of the worst performing "legit" coins in crypto.

Cathie_D_Wood

type_error

Something similar happened to me except the HW wallet was my portfolio and the dump was ZEC

Zorbithia

That's totally fine - anyone who has ever used Monero or knows the first thing about the XMR community is well-aware that the last thing any of us want is to be "adopted" by Wall Street. Z-Cash is dying and is on the way out, they are currently dealing with a situation where the largest ZEC mining pool has 54% of hash power...they've been delaying a supposed transition to proof-of-stake (first to a "hybrid" model, so they claim), but long-term they are moving to an entirely proof-of-stake consensus model, which makes the entire project pointless. Monero will live on, provided that there isn't some kind of major breakthrough which renders it's security properties null and void. This is likely to happen at some point, honestly, but for now, it's the best there is...at least out of the options which exist and have actual people using them.

ZucchiniDull5426

I think 150 area is here OG shitcoin level starts. You have the class of 2010’s decade IOTX, ZIL, BAT, ZEC, XEM in a tight group. Then Decred which has better tech than Bitcoin #200 and Korean ETH killer #219 soon to be passed by Solana’s ‘Dog with hat’. Then pass some more OG names and near the 300’s is when it gets really depressing with Nano, Polymath, and Digibyte about to be fallen off the default CoinGecko 300 list.

Exittus

You asked so I'll answer and get downvoted. (I like LTC, just being honest) LTC does nothing novel compared to Bitcoin. Charlie lee changed a few parameters so there'd be more coins and a different hashing algo. There's currently zero development. Nothing since the mimblewimble block extensions which no one uses. Okay fees are low, great. They're also super low on every single alt other than BTC/ETH. LTC's primary strength is it was early to market and got listed on all the big exchanges and thus developed a network effect. But what now? Why is no one developing on it? Other layer 1 coins at least have useful privacy, on-chain coinholder voting, treasuries, building out DEXs, moving the peg forward (XMR, DCR, ZEC, DASH etc) LTC is boring. And that's fine. It does what it needs to do. Just don't expect people to get too excited about it.

DeleteMe3Jan2023

Major institutions like Goldman Sachs can literally track almost every major holding of certain physical asset classes in the world (e.g. uranium, palladium, etc). So they can know exactly how and when to pump/drop the price. Want to short-squeeze or pump ZEC/XMR or another privacy coin? A) You can't know distribution to guarantee a successful pump B) You can't effectively coordinate with other major players. The other problem is anyone holding a privacy coin can cash out into BTC which is proven to be a better store of value long-term. Everyone knows this, so any pump in a privacy coin will be sold at some point. Eventually it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Thirdly, institutions are the ones with money. They don't want a bar of privacy coins. All the illegal activity in the world is a tiny pool of funds compared to Blackrock, etc.

tldr; Market liquidity for privacy tokens such as Monero (XMR), Zcash (ZEC), and DASH has hit all-time lows due to crypto exchanges delisting these assets amid regulatory pressure. Kaiko's data indicates that liquidity for these tokens was just $5 million last week following their removal from OKX. Major platforms have increasingly delisted privacy tokens, with ZEC being the most delisted over the past two years. This trend has led to market fragmentation, with XMR remaining on large exchanges and ZEC and DASH trading on smaller, unregulated venues. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

RHINO_HUMP

They are older tried and true coins, and they’ve held in the top 150 market caps this whole time. There are lots of old whales still holding. I don’t expect them to break new ATH’s but when you consider $73 LTC going to $350 or $28 ZEC going to $250, those are still really good gains to be had simply from crypto getting a larger marketcap as a whole. Also, I don’t see any surprise controversies coming over those coins.

I'm using XMR and ZEC on daily basis. Not investing in them. Privacy coins are immensely useful tool as an intermediary. I see zero investment value in them.

OkArm8581

For me it is not XMR or ZEC. It's XMR for situation A and ZEC for situation B. Some tasks are served better with ZEC while other with XMR. In many cases neither of them is applicable and have to be converted in something else altogether. Choosing XMR while shunning ZEC just closing opportunities. Why would I do it? Market is big and there is plenty space for everyone.

I would consider BCH, XMR, and ZEC as good candidates, each with their own strengths and weaknesses but viable decentralized alternatives to fiat currencies. BTC has clearly failed & ETH is something else entirely.

MrArtless

Sometimes. I mostly just look at the pairs to help me time usd trades so like if ethbtc looks good and btc looks good I may take an ETHUSD long. Some coins like LTC, ZEC, and even BCH are hostoricaly quite responsive to breakouts on the btc pair. You can also look at Alt/eth pairs for other level 1s or eth ecosystem stuff like gen 1 defi

I think you are confusing Zcash with Monero, but nobody knows. There is certainly some intelligence involvement in crypto since at least 2010. But this applies to all coins that have some potential, BTC, ETH, BCH, ZEC and as well XMR. The beauty of it is that it is all open source so we can see what code we run.

Ok-Western-5799

Privacy is more of a spectrum in crypto. Public chains like Ethereum and Bitcoin are often seen as not private because their transactions are all out there on the public ledger, and you can even track them using tools like Chainalysis. True anonymity comes when you use XMR, ZEC or protocols like Railgun which prevents your crypto from being monitored.

anonymouscitizen2

Before ETH killers it was “BTC Killers” BCH, DECRED, BSV, LTC, DASH, ZEC, NANO +100 more. Now look today, basically all of these coins are dead, some like LTC have hung on but still down 80%+ against BTC. New coins don’t even brand themselves as BTC killers anymore. Bitcoin ossified at the top to the point its unchallenged by incumbents. ETH killers are still around and in the top 10. They are becoming less common though and it seems like most new coins in that area are moving to become ETH L2s. I don’t think ETH is where Bitcoin is yet, competitors will keep trying for a bit longer. Bitcoin is really the only coin right now that is so dominant it’s not even challenged any longer but ETH is on the path to getting there too. However, ETH is far more complicated in it’s scope and I don’t believe it could ever hold it’s niche as dominantly as BTC.

It's gotta be XMR for me. I have little experience with ZEC but ultimately if the IRS is interested and offering bounties on XMR. Then I'm interested in knowing my privacy is actually private with XMR.

I'm definitely a XMR guy. Although I have nothing against ZEC. Probably mostly habit.

foulminion

>There is a roadmap for ZEC to go proof-of-stake. Developments like this can be maintained by a coin with a team behind it. That is a pretty big negative imo. Having centralization tendencies baked in already and then doubling down via the PoS route.

BusyBoredom

Monero, but there's some nuance. ZEC has objectively superior privacy, but its crippled because: * It has a literal CEO. * It has a dev tax, which is an unforgivably centralizing force in a cryptocurrency. * It puts its technology under anticompetitive licences to prevent other currencies from "stealing" research, which IMO is against the spirit of crypto. * Their goal it to be compliant with surveillance, which is not compatible with being privacy-first. So despite ZEC's cool tech, I still have to go with monero every time.

LikeFirstLikeSecond

>, however, this can be a positive for ZEC in having a present team to keep up with the crypto trends, as in… Dont think thats very PRO for ZEC, if im using privacy coin im gonna use one thats less centralized. >Even having Monero can raise questions about your intentions. How can you know if i have monero? \*wink wink*

deckartcain

Monero is way beyond ZEC - both in tech, but more importantly adoption. There's a plethora of services revolving around Monero meant to increase the privacy and anonymity of Monero. ZEC also has the issue of having a corporate like structure heading the project, leading it to be susceptible to manipulation and makes it easy to legally go after the project.

Deyssigeg

Privacy is another narrative that's holding fast. It's the future, and it's wise to buy into it early. ZEC, RAIL, and AZERO are a few I believe will have a good run.

Yup, been here since 2017 when I first started mining ZEC. I've been riding the wave through almost two full cycles now.

Yeah but you can’t really ‘add’ privacy to a blockchain with a transparent base layer. Monero is *always* anonymous. No mixers, and no ‘optional’ privacy like ZEC.

Because almost all the crypto is indeed a piece of shit, undergoing hard KYC censorship over transparent blockchains or encountering the strong centralisation of it is a PoS coin like Ethereum. Because there is no “smart” in Ethereum smart contacts. They can’t be distinguished from a code executed on a centralised (but maybe replicated) database. And also Ethereum was hardly premined and spread among the earlier founders. It is a security token, subject to SEC regulation. Bitcoin is just a first f&cking failed crypto experiment with a weak PoW that is not resistant to ASICs (and here there is centralisation too), non-adaptive block size and insane huge transaction fees. The only cryptocurrency remain is a privacy coin. Currently, mostly Monero. You have to popularise it amid your buddies, furthermore, total Monero emission will be less than Bitcoin one till year 2040, despite tail emission (that is needed for economics to grow harmonically). Google about Monero, study it in depth, and tell all your friends, there is almost the only crypto. ZEC with Halo2 (without trusted setup) is exciting brand new experiment. But the only production grade cryptocurrency is Monero. Tell your merchants to accept it directly. Sell the services and goods through Monero. Fight against regulators: your own finances is nobody’s business!!!
