Buying ZEC, Monero, Dash, Verge, Komodo, PIVX, and NAVCoin may make sense if you are interested in privacy, fungibility, and diversifying within the niche of "privacy coins", although always with awareness of their higher regulatory risk.
@Zcash Official (ZEC)
ZEC allows you to choose between transparent and shielded transactions with zero-knowledge proofs, providing flexibility between traceability and total privacy.
Its zk-proof technology is among the most advanced in the sector, and it is being researched as a basis for privacy solutions in other chains and Web3 applications.
@Monero (XMR)
Monero offers privacy by default, hiding sender, receiver, and amounts, which enhances fungibility by making all coins indistinguishable.
It has a very technical community, a focus on strong decentralization, and resistance to ASICs, favoring more distributed mining.
#DASH (DASH)
Dash enables fast and relatively low-cost payments, with features like InstantSend for almost immediate confirmations useful for daily payments.
Its coin mixing option (PrivateSend) adds an extra layer of privacy for those who need it, while still maintaining broad liquidity and presence on exchanges.
#verge (XVG)
Verge focuses its proposal on network anonymity, masking the IP and origin of the user through technologies like Tor and I2P.
It is designed for micropayments and everyday use, with low fees and a user base that prioritizes anonymity at the transport layer.
#komodo (KMD)
Komodo combines the privacy technology inherited from Zcash with tools to create its own chains and tokens, as well as a DEX with atomic swaps.
This makes it attractive if you are interested in both privacy and infrastructure to build projects or trade without centralized intermediaries.
