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