I was reading Monero development roadmap and looks like there’s a long way to go still for them to reach “true privacy” but at least they have a clear vision.
Bitcoin development has come to cross roads and the community has become quite divided on what so develop out next. Bitcoin ossifying too early has downsides that many don’t realise.
Big fan of what the Monero devs are trying to do at least.
I think the fact Zcash has optional transparency and privacy makes it weaker. Yes it’s more likely to get regulators approval. But the point of cryptocurrency is to not ask for approval in the first place.
