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.
In my opinion, XMR and ZCASH are 2 coins that dominate the segment for the best private currency. Although there are still many obstacles and conflicts of potential gains and improvements in the future. But you can see that XMR is making rapid progress on its rankings on CMC. It is not a random process. Except, the problems with Ledger vulnerabilities and leaks from the exchanges were fixed. XMR will be a more advanced coin in the future.
+1 Monero
