ROFL, whats price gotta do with anything, monero has been around for over 10 years possibly now that why it has a large netwrok and mature price, but if you have ever gone to a monerotopia conference like I have in NYC, you would know they arrr not what they used to be as they speak about tokens, masternodes, equity scams, and so much stuff I was really really dissapointed....

If you attend pirate talk circle they talkin about stuff like reticulum and lora nodes to not need ISP's for simple communications. but you would not know that cause all you know is monero rite ?
ip-less technology is the future... I rather focus on the technology and not the price, when pirate is more than monero I will come back and questions you... I wont forget as monero is slowly moving to pirate zk technology.... because we all know they HAVE to, further more Prcy tech is elite, price is crap due to premine but that done mean the tech is any less... 32 + 1 rings... The original monero people arrr no longer their as far as im concerned.. whomever they arrr

The tech used by a coin is all that matters. Not the price. Monero not only has the best privacy tech, but it's also the most valuable. It could've gone higher in price if it wasn't because of de-listings from centralized exchanges. The OP forgot to mention privacy coins using Mimblewimble such as GRIN and BEAM. They are also worth considering.

The thing about privacy coins is that they often lack merchant acceptance compared to their transparent counterparts (BTC, LTC, etc). Not to mention, it's getting more difficult to cash them out into your local Fiat currency. At least, there are some P2P exchanges that allow you to sell privacy coins without KYC. AgoraDesk is one of them. With privacy coins facing an uncertain future, I wonder if XMR will become our only option?
