despite the current heavy bear market I believe we'll see verge explode soon. Privacy related coins (like monero as well) will become massive once governments will start heavily taxing crypto earnings
It makes sense. But chances are high that governments will surely figure out tax evasions and will probably restrict anonymous coins especially on exchanges under their jurisdiction.
Funny you mention that, Coincheck (large Japan exchange) just dropped support for Monero, Dash, and Zcash. Who cares? They'll just lose 5% of their business, probably to Binance. If the govts are able to really ramp up the crackdowns on privacy coins, decentralized exchanges will just become more widespread.
Also today it was revealed that NSA has been sniffing and tracking Bitcoin users since 2013. Exactly what paranoid people expected the whole time.
All bullish signals for the privacy coin markets.
