Privacy coins had their moment, didn't they? $ZEC absolutely ripped when everything else was bleeding out. Strong rally, real momentum. But lately? Feels different. The energy's shifted.

So what's happening here—just your typical pullback before another leg up to $700? Or are we watching the privacy narrative lose steam in real time? Market's telling us something, just not sure what yet.

ZEC-3.53%

The hype around privacy coins has indeed passed, and this wave for ZEC is probably coming to an end as well.

nah, statistically speaking the privacy coin thesis got taxonomically incorrect once regulatory pressure entered the ecosystem. per my analysis, $ZEC's momentum shift isn't pullback behavior—it's cryptographic darwinism in action, fr.

ZEC did have a run, but now it just doesn't feel the same anymore. 700? I don't really buy it. Feels like the whole privacy coin narrative is about to go out of style.

It should be pointed out that your viewpoint fundamentally makes a cognitive error—you’re conflating the technology cycle with market sentiment. On-chain data shows that ZEC’s on-chain activity has not declined; it’s just that retail speculators’ enthusiasm has shifted elsewhere. These are two different things. There’s no doubt that the privacy narrative has never gone out of style—it’s just that you’ve ignored it. Let’s return to the essence of Satoshi Nakamoto’s whitepaper: privacy is the last line of defense for freedom, and market volatility cannot change this truth. $700? Heh, let the on-chain data speak—don’t try to sell me on hype.

This ZEC rally is indeed fierce, but now it feels a bit shaky. --- Is the privacy coin narrative really fading, or is this just a correction... Not sure. --- That 700 yuan target seems unlikely to me. --- The energy has definitely changed, I can't find that previous sense of frenzy anymore. --- Wait, is this a signal that institutions are dumping? --- The concept of privacy itself is controversial, no wonder the market's attitude is shifting. --- The "pump and dump" script is happening again, I'll bet five bucks. --- Everything has been dropping lately, ZEC holding up relatively well is already pretty good. --- The market is telling stories, but people are getting tired of hearing them. --- Where is the real support? If it breaks that level, it's over.

ZEC was indeed impressive during that run, but now it just doesn’t feel the same... Is the narrative for privacy coins no longer working?

ZEC does seem a bit weak this time, not as strong as before.

The boom for privacy coins has just passed like that, and now ZEC feels like a thing of the past.
