Don't Invest in Any Privacy Coins

2025-11-17
  1. Outside of attempted criminal activity, there are very few real scenarios that truly require protocol-level privacy.
  2. Protocol-level privacy brings extreme technical complexity and a poor user experience.
  3. If ZEC used z-addresses 100% of the time, centralized exchanges would delist ZEC first.
  4. Any token that is anonymous throughout its entire lifecycle will face not only CEX delistings, but also bans from governments around the world.
  5. Large institutions will never invest in privacy coins, nor are they allowed to.
  6. Privacy coins will never become state reserves.
  7. For any token, if the police physically detain you, technical privacy becomes meaningless.
  8. You need to live in the real world, not only on the internet.
