Privacy coins seem to have reached a bottleneck in this wave of market movement. Looking at DASH's trend, it's like climbing stairs—gradually descending step by step, which makes people wonder if it can make a comeback.

XMR's performance is even more typical. It surged to the 800 level some time ago, and the market was optimistic with high enthusiasm. But then it quickly fell back to over 600, and such large fluctuations make people feel uncertain—will the next rebound come or not?

ZEC is even more at the forefront; it was leading the entire privacy sector to heat up earlier, but now its momentum is waning. This raises a question: when will the concept of privacy coins catch fire again? Who will be the next driver? If the main tokens are all adjusting, can the story of the privacy sector continue?

DASH-14.7%

ZEC-1.98%

Privacy coins should have been phased out a long time ago. We've been talking about them for years, but they still lack practical applications; it's all just hype. XMR dropped from 800 to 600 this wave, a typical bluff, and it's even rebounding. I think the reversal is about the same either way. ZEC led the decline even more sharply, truly a full-circle joke, and now there's another pusher—what a joke. The privacy concept is now just a burden; when regulations tighten, no one dares to take the risk. I'll stick to my Bitcoin and Ethereum. I can't keep telling stories about these small coins.

Privacy coins are really not exciting anymore. If this trend continues, who would dare to buy in? XMR dropped from 800 to over 600, this wave of cuts hurts a lot... Should have cut losses earlier. ZEC has already become a "storytelling" coin. Who still believes now? With increasing regulation, how can privacy coins still be popular? For coins like DASH, it's better to just watch the show peacefully. When will the privacy sector pick up? Relaxation of regulations? Dream on. Wait, is it another pump and dump by the whales? No way... Anyway, I’m not chasing anymore. This kind of sector is easy to get buried.

Privacy coins, this game feels like it's really cooling off. The trend of DASH looks really uncomfortable. XMR dropped from 800 to over 600, who would still dare to buy the dip now... ZEC might end up becoming a supporting role, by the way, does anyone still hype the privacy concept? With regulatory winds so tight, are there still stories to tell about privacy coins? Honestly, if this kind of fluctuation continues, it's time to change the approach. Is the privacy track really going to turn around this time? It's a bit uncertain, everyone. Instead of waiting for a rebound, it's better to look at other sectors. Privacy coins seem to be cooling off for a while.

Privacy coins should have been gone long ago; regulation is the way to go. This wave really isn't exciting; DASH's trend has made me sleepy. XMR dropped from 800 to 600, I knew something was going to happen. I can't continue the story of ZEC; the privacy coin concept is inherently虚. Some people are still waiting for privacy coins to rebound, but I don't understand. Are there still chances for privacy coins? Honestly, I don't believe it anymore. It's just sector rotation; what's the next new concept to hype up?

Privacy coins should have been phased out long ago. With such heavy regulatory pressure, what are you still expecting? XMR dropped from 800 to 600. This is a death trap... Still want to turn things around? Dream on. When ZEC led the rally, I thought it was going to take off, but it was just a quick trap, classic profit-taking rhythm. It's just sector rotation. Don't expect privacy coins to have any more stories to tell. If you're looking to buy the dip, switch to other tracks. Old coins like DASH should have exited the scene long ago. Still stuck in this consolidation... Truly exhausting.

Privacy coins are now just a burden, nobody cares anymore. XMR dropped from 800 to over 600, luckily I sold early. ZEC, the big brother leading the pack, also can't hold up anymore, haha. Is there really no story left? Or are everyone just waiting for the big players to cut the leeks? This sector will cool off sooner or later, it's time to switch to other tracks.

Privacy coins are out of favor, DASH's chart really speaks for itself Wherever regulatory pressure blows, these old coins just slump down, when will XMR's rebound come ZEC, once a leader, is now struggling like this, it's a bit ironic Can there be new concepts to take the lead? It's no fun always hyping old stories
