Fresh week ahead! Here's something that keeps bothering me though: ZEC's privacy features are sitting dormant while XMR's privacy stack remains fully operational. Wild contradiction, right?



Market behavior tells an interesting story—investors simultaneously obsess over privacy in theory yet abandon it completely in practice. One coin opts out of privacy as default, another doubles down on it. Yet here we are, still chasing returns while shrugging at the actual tech that supposedly matters. What does that really say about what we actually value versus what we claim to value?

Privacy is all nonsense in the face of profits, just nice words Where are the promised privacy technologies? Why are they all into shitcoins now? This round of ZEC really dragged down the market, while XMR is still holding on, how ironic Talking about privacy but actually all about利益, hilarious Human nature, always self-deceiving and fooling ourselves Privacy is worthless as long as it can increase in value, that's all It seems we are all big deceivers, including myself

Basically, it's just talking about privacy while secretly holding all the profits, haha --- XMR believers have always been here, but ZEC is indeed a bit awkward --- Isn't this the norm in the crypto circle? Idealism is dead, only greed remains --- The key is, if ZEC truly uses privacy, regulators will directly lock you in a small black room; on the other hand, XMR doesn't care since it's already targeted anyway --- Investors: Privacy is very important, and profits are the most important --- Interestingly, everyone knows about this, but whether to hype or to run... I'm just here to watch the fun --- Honestly, most people don't care about the technical essence; as long as it can rise, that's fine. Don't deceive me, and I'll thank the heavens --- Privacy coins are inherently awkward; on one hand, they want privacy, on the other hand, they want to be on exchanges, which is fundamentally irreconcilable

Hmm... That hits close to home. We all talk about privacy but in reality, we're all just running naked. People are like that. When buying XMR, they think they're clear-headed, but then they turn around and bet everything on ZEC for profit. Irony, right? In front of profits, what is privacy? Just honest self-deception. This move with ZEC is truly outrageous. The features are asleep, yet people still tout it as a privacy coin. By the way, does anyone really use XMR, or is it just tough talk on forums? I'm here to make money, not to fight wars. Don't talk to me about ideals. This is our reality—the crypto world of saying one thing and doing another. Actually, everyone knows it. No one really cares about privacy, as long as the coins go up.

Basically, we are all living in a bubble of self-deception. We shout about privacy, but our hands are full of shitcoins, which is truly ridiculous [LOL]. Wait, is ZEC's privacy feature on hold? I haven't heard about it. Could this be another wave of being cut off? Faith is faith, but the wallet tells the truth. We are all waiting for the moment when value returns, but the opportunity might have been missed early in the bottom zone. This dip is actually giving us time to rethink what is truly worth holding. Having gone through so many cycles, now I only care about projects that can survive until the next bull market. Ironically, when everyone is chasing returns, who has the time to study privacy technology? This is the lesson the market has taught me. The key to crossing cycles lies here — knowing what you truly want, rather than blindly selling off with emotional swings. ZEC and XMR are like mirrors that reveal everyone's true choices.
