I think privacy coins are very important in crypto, and hold the true nature and intention of this space. I believe that 2018 will be a big year for privacy based projects.
If you had $10k to invest, where would you spread it in privacy coins and why? Which ones do you think will truly succeed and stand the test of time?
Some options to work with:
Monero
Zcash
ZenCash
Verge
Cloak
My vote goes to Monero, but I'm really liking ZenCash.
ZenCash has a low supply and was recently hyped up on the Palm Beach Confidential newsletter and is a full blown privacy platform. Monero seems to me like a very strong currency with excellent standards for privacy, and a relatively low supply. I can see both of these coins in the $1000+ price.
I think monero would be my choice as it is one the most popular crypto available in the market and you can expect a good price of monero in the future. It is the master of all privacy coin and it is the first coin based upon the idea of complete privacy and security.
Verge is all a very good option. The transactions in verge are secure and untraceable. The ip addresses of sender and receiver, along with the amount sent in the transaction is kept private.
