Honestly, my friends don't even dare to talk to me about ZEC... afraid I'll cut my losses again. Privacy coins are like Schrödinger's cat; no one knows whether they are assets or liabilities. Once regulation comes into play, none of us feel confident—really. Web3 privacy? Right now, everyone is just dodging and skirting around the topic, afraid of being screenshot. Actually, privacy features sound good in theory, but very few people actually use them.

Honestly, privacy coins are a bit of a dilemma. Users want anonymity, but regulators have long been watching them. ZEC community brothers all boast about privacy, but I prefer flexible solutions like mixing protocols. Not everyone needs privacy coins, it really depends on policy trends. I think in the future, privacy features will be integrated into other tokens rather than existing as standalone coins. ZEC will have to change its strategy sooner or later. Actually, compared to ZEC, I’m more interested in those L2 privacy solutions, which seem to be the real breakthrough. Privacy coins, to put it simply, are like contraband; different countries have different policies, so a unified answer is hard to find. Friends mostly discuss Web3 privacy from a technical perspective, and few are actually using ZEC for transfers anymore.

Honestly, privacy coins are a bit awkward right now, with increasing regulatory pressure. ZEC used to be very popular, but now exchanges are removing it one by one, which is a bit ironic. However, the demand for anonymous transactions definitely exists; the key is how not to attract attention. Some people in my circle are researching privacy routing and mixers, and I feel this is the true future direction. ZEC's privacy features are well-designed, but its ecosystem is too fragile. Privacy and compliance are really incompatible; it's a choice between the two. Web3 privacy solutions? They're everywhere, but few are reliable. Basically, it's a cat-and-mouse game: the stricter the regulation, the stronger the demand for privacy.
