I think if you talk about privacy coins, monero is definitely the best privacy coin. Monero has 100% anonymity so that all your privacy will remain safe and unknown.
These are all illusions. If you examine the issue in more detail, it becomes clear that no cryptocurrency has any anonymity and confidentiality as such. Everything in the end can be tracked and identified.
Can you explain a bit more in detail, how you will trace Monero transaction? If you want we can make a test. I will make a transaction and you will tell me how much and where I sent. OK?
I do not pretend that my opinion is absolutely correct. But then, I read an article that researchers from world universities did their research on the total anonymity of Monero. So the result was not in favor of complete anonymity.
I can be wrong in accuracy, but this article is easy to find on the Internet and read about it.
Well the thing is that Monero is 5 years old. And It have protocol upgrades that some love to call forks every half year. At that times in past mainly in 2016 were added some anonymity features. You could theoretically trace transactions in 2014 and 2015. I am saying theoretically because that is pure math. None transaction was ever traced. And compared to any other crypto coin Monero was least ( mathematically traced) in 2014 and 2015. None was ever better.
I would also like to mention that what that paper researched was already written in Monero research papers in 2014. It was nothing new and it was already implemented in the protocol at time of publish. Also another thing is worth to mention that author of that paper is a ZCash developer and fro sure invested in Electonic company that owns 20% of ZCash emission.
