privacy coins still can't say what they're for, besides trading
privacy coins like monero and zcash promise private, untraceable payments. the pitch is old, but most of the trading volume is still speculation, not people paying for things. the question of what they are actually used for keeps coming back whenever the sector pumps.

HOW TO CHECK IT YOURSELF
look up monero and zcash on coingecko and compare trading volume to market cap
check how many exchanges still list privacy coins and which have delisted them
look at on-chain activity on a monero or zcash explorer and compare it to the price action
WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU if you trade privacy coins, know whether you're buying a use case or a narrative. price moves on hype can reverse fast when real usage doesn't back them up. not financial advice.
