Topic: How much privacy coins are really needed? (Read 208 times)
The money required in the crypto world appears hidden. This is because there is no money following the virtual environment. The secret money is not needed, the money is treated as secret.
I think if the privacy coin is in need with many people then I think the coins in the privacy will be safe from taking the funds silently and into the altcoin that we have and get a lot of money that has been taken
I made a table:
I thought that one of essential parts of crypto is privacy but it appears that people do not appreciate privacy as much as it seems, if you take all the transactions of Monero, Zcash, Bitcoin and Ethereum for 100%, then only 1.32% falls on Monero and Zcash, what is your thoughts on this?
Because now very few cryptocurrencies are used for their intended purpose. For most, it is a tool for investing and trading for profit. The market is still very young and is just beginning to take shape. People who care about privacy apply this rule to all sides of their lives, from entering the network and ending with cryptocurrency. Therefore, this is a complex question, why a person needs a confidential cryptocurrency, if he is happy to share information about himself with search engines and social networks. Right?

A snapshot usage graph may not be representative of the 'need' factor for privacy coins.
The age of the privacy coins should be considered, as compared to the Big Two.
Additionally, you should look at uptake of usage... is the usage of the privacy coins increasing, or stagnant?
The next thing to think about is application of the coins... is there somewhere specific that the privacy coins can be utilised to their full potential?
Let's look at SAFEX, which will be moving to their own blockchain in about 6 weeks.
It will be a true privacy coin AND it will have a specific use case - the Safex Marketplace, which will be built into the blockchain.
The Safex Token (can be staked on the marketplace to receive a share of the 5% commission fees) and Safex Cash (the currency of the marketplace) will both have an actual use they can be applied to.
I think this is the key... once people have an anonymous coin and a marketplace upon which to use it (and the marketplace allows for anonymous trading) the functional use of privacy coins will increase.

Should we share our emails with our government? Should they know all our transactions(i.e. from our debit card)? Should we make everything that we do, public? We believe these kind of questions will always have people against and for, therefore, It's up to the people to decide what's best for them.
I think we need less than 50 privacy coins. It's anough for trading and for holding. The number of cryptocurrincies today much more our possibilities to manage it.
They're used a lot on the dark web. A lot of bitcoins transactions is just people trading, not actually using it.
wow thats scary to knowing that, but i think bitcoin is still will be used as a payment on the good things
I only use XMR because it is the only coin that gives a total anonimity,i dont know how these new coins are more advance than monero.Im sure if these new alts are better than the existing ones these coins are going to rise by any means.
This coin is nonsense, then there should be less than even 50 coins in the market, if we always have to choose one over other similar coin, then bitcoin needs to disappear from the market as well.
Well we need a few, and as far as I can see, XMR, or Monero, is the best privacy coin out there. A solid investment. Good luck and take care.

Basically crypto has already pseudonymous. And it's not 100% need the privacy coin. As you can see the privacy coin has used by someone that is trying to make his transaction to be untracable.

More privacy coin will be useless becaue even the major privacy coin doesn't have a lot of demand on the real usage of its [rivacy feature.
Only a few good ones are needed and it is not like we need 20 privacy coins. Take care about which ones you invest in, XMR seems a good one.
How much privacy coins are needed? Just one. But we don't have a winner yet and many are trying to do the best job.
How much social media sites do we need? One, if it has all the best features.
How much search engines? Again, one.
There will probably be some niche use cases that some other coins can grab a market share.
We just really need one but we cant really stop those project owners would make the same niche and as you said they would like to get a market share which it turns out that its too redundant to have multiple projects with have similar idea which is the same on where are talking here on op where there are lots of privacy coins and each one of them do keep on trying to resolve each ones flaws this is why we do keep seeing new things.On percentage i dont see those people who use up eth is on having that kind of privacy reason. How much social media sites do we need? One, if it has all the best features.
How much search engines? Again, one.

Simply there is no regulation in the crypt-currency market, so there is no particular difference in which currency to send funds.It is convenient for Ethereum everyone, because it is very easy to use. But when countries am regulating then many will go to anonymous currencies. 100% I thought that one of essential parts of crypto is privacy but it appears that people do not appreciate privacy as much as it seems, if you take all the transactions of Monero, Zcash, Bitcoin and Ethereum for 100%, then only 1.32% falls on Monero and Zcash, what is your thoughts on this?
Not a lot and definitely not as many as we have now in the market but since a single coin is still yet to prove to everyone that they are superior to all of the other privacy coins that are in circulation right now, then we will keep having a lot of privacy coins and more will still be pushed into the market

So now people really use little privacy coins, because they have enough and popular cryptocurrencies. Private currencies are used by those who trade in a dark net. But it seems to me that over time these privacy coins will use more and more.

This table doesnt really signify how coin is being used either on privacy matter or just on a typical transaction for a particular day.Lets say ETH do lead up on transaction volume but it doesnt mean that hes one of the best used when it comes to anonymity whereas theres no basis that people do make use of ETH do have that purpose.This is why i do really see this data to be valid because this is just simply showing on transaction volume and not really on how people do like anonymity or any other things attached to it.

This is a paradox, even in DarkNet is very popular Bitcoin, where open transactions. People would rather drive it through the separators than would be to use an anonymous cryptocurrency. Just not popular yet Monero and zcash for, I think soon everything can change.
They're used a lot on the dark web. A lot of bitcoins transactions is just people trading, not actually using it.
Perhaps people use privasy coins in most cases for something illegal, and otherwise use Bitcoin and Ethereum, since they are more common and familiar.
I've always felt that investing in anonymous tokens is a risky business.
Because anonymous tokens can now face many problems, such as policy factors.

Exactly. Coincheck is already banning 4 of them. This is why I am glad ETN is reducing privacy. Good move.
I have herd thet ETH will implement zk-SNARKs for anonymous transactions, I guess it may be positiv end negativ thing for Ethereum in the same time

your comparison is flawed because you are not analyzing the numbers themselves and just comparing the raw data to each other.
we have bitcoin which has been the cryptocurrency that people know as a cryptocurrency and it also is considered an alternative investment to gold, stocks,... and also is acting as a currency.
then we have ethereum which has no real usage apart from ICOs and of course the speculators. so the number of transactions on it is higher because of all these ICOs. it is not handling real monetary transfer in a sense than a currency does.
so when you are comparing an anon coin like Monero with these two you are comparing it with the most famous thing out there (bitcoin) and ethereum. and these anon coins having that many transactions is still a big deal if you ask me.

Many people really do not use anonymous cryptocurrencies, because they do not need it right now. But sooner or later everyone wants to be anonymous and then they move on Zcash or Monero. I think that these two coins will grow in the future.

I think that in the foreground it is the ease of use and functionality of the coin. Privacy is not necessary for ordinary people, often privacy only hinders the conduct of ordinary payments. Monero most popular among hackers.

Well, there's Bitcoin and Ethereum, where we have modern era's gold rush and we have more and more services, these coins don't even need advertising since people know what they are, then there's the rest of the crypto world.
It's not about "the need of privacy" here, there's only a tiny fraction of that which makes the difference. Most people didn't even hear of those coins. Or they are scared to use them, since they don't want to be associated with "dark web coins" (although people should care about privacy even on honest transactions).
So imho unfortunately the table tells only a tiny part of the story and it's far from conclusive on what people need.
