So many cryptocurrency projects solely on privacy claim to have advanced stealth technology with better scalability, yet their prices have not done any good. Monero price remains strong. It shows that asides the technology, there is much more that determine value
No it doesn't the others are snake oil and/or not ready for prime time and people are not as easily fooled as they used to be. All these other so called privacy coins are all worthless and worse yet can be putting people in danger.
Exactly, everything else took the cue from Monero and then tried to call itself superior. Altcoins tend to say they're better than Bitcoin and use speed etc. Monero isn't different that much, everyone claims it is more private.
But I disagree about price being a marker. Dash for example is a lot pricier, does it mean it's better? Monero's solid, it works and it has uses. I can't say the same about others.
