The Bitcoin movement has been praised by many people for introducing the idea of decentralization and blockchain technology. When one Bitcoin was only worth $100 or less, many people ignored it and they assumed it was just a scam or part of a Ponzi scheme.

Privacy-centric cryptocurrencies or better known as privacy coins have a special place in the heart of crypto investors. Coins such as Monero (XMR), Zcash (ZEC), DASH, and Zcoin (XZC) and others added a layer of privacy on top of public blockchain networks.
