The best private coin should have Privacy Addresses and Ring-sig/Mixing such coins as: Monero, Bytecoin, ZCash, Spectrecoin.
But if we talk about the best private coin in half a year, then if Spectrecoin will be integrated with BISQ (anonymous decentralized exchange) then Spectrecoin will have end-to-end privacy using privacy addresses & ring-sig. No one will know from whom I bought this coin, when I bought it and sold, and how much I have them on an anonymous stealth addresses.
One of the biggest markets is China. It follows the path of strict regulation of crypto currency and has a China's state-firewall that will block everything that is forbidden: Tor, anonymous coins (if it will be blocked), ... So no one coin will can be used in China with the exception of those coins that have: Tor + Obfuscator. China's state-firewall can't block only Spectrecoin that has both Tor + Obfuscator.
DeepOnion and Verge has Tor, but hasn't Obfuscator. Yes, you can install Tor and ObfsProxy by yourself, but at one point forget to start them and betray yourself. Only Spectrocoin does this automatically by default.
So if we are talking about a better investment, then the most promising coin, with the smallest market capitalization - is spectrecoin.
I completely agree with you!
I believe in Spectrecoin XSPEC https://chainz.cryptoid.info/xspec/ Check out "richlist" and "largest wallets" to see why its privacy claims are BS.
Belief isn't going to stop someone from using the blockchain to analyze how many coins you have--that's not how technology works.
Spectrecoin has two type of addresses: not-anonymous and anonymous(stealth). In the "richlist" and "largest wallets" you can see only not-anonymous addresses, who doesn't want to hide money. But you can't see any anonymous(stealth) addresses, tell me how much money is in this my stealth address?
You can't, but you can send me money to this address.

Exchange BISQ will work with anonymous(stealth) addresses by default.
The problem (a well known one) with running optional privacy is that you create taint and later when you think your coins are safe on an exchange, the exchange can cite KYC/AML concerns and hold your coins--not the good hodl. TBH, I've never looked deeply at spectrecoin, but this problem is so obvious, I don't need to, but if do, I'm sure I'll find worse. Still not sure how you have staking with privacy, so that might be interesting to investigate....
KYC/AML on some exchanges - is the problem of any coins private / non-private.
An exchange BISQ hasn't any KYC/AML, hasn't limits, doesn't verify and doesn't know your IP because it works via Tor. Also for example Binance exchange has limit 2 BTC/day for unverified preson for any coins ($30-40K per day or ~10 M$ per year at this moment). And Bitfinex hasn't withdrawal limit for unverified preson, except USD, EUR, USDT. Yes, these exchanges will know how many coins bought by your account, also exchanges will know generated secondary stealth addresses and can see money on them.
1. But exchanges can not match your account and your person, because you are not verified.
2. Also any next money transfers after withdrawal make it impossible to know now is it your new addresses and money, or already another person has them.
So this is not such a big problem if you use Binance/Bitfinex/..., and there is very small problems if you use decentralized autonomous exchange BISQ. Let me remind you, we talked about any private/non-private coins.
