It's been quite a long time since the first cryptocurrency with the "Mimblewimble" privacy technique was released. My first days of using GRIN were quite troublesome due to its added complexity. But it's a great coin to use for privacy-oriented transactions once you get the hang of it. Somehow, GRIN became a forgotten cryptocurrency as all of the attention shifted back to Monero. Was this a result of poor marketing/promotion efforts? Or a lack of user experience?

I'm wondering if this coin still has a future, especially when privacy on crypto has been frowned upon by mainstream governments. Do you think it can be good long-term investment like Monero? Or is it a complete bust? Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. Smiley

Grin has not died. The price has been stabilized at a lower side and it has a sizeable community of volunteers and privacy focused users.
It's still one of the popular mineable coin. Miners are another community that are keeping the coin alive. A coin is dead when there's no transaction volume. Grin is still listed and traded on some centralized exchange like Gate.io. The problem with privacy focused coins are being unlisted from every popular exchange. There surely would be some unknown centralized exchange listing them but coinmarketcap won't track it and people would forget it.
