My initial plan was to hold $ZCL : $YEC 1:1 But then I remembered that talk about "diworsification"... I would not be surprised to see this chart go to 0.1 What are your thoughts? $YEC or $ZCL I yodl 5 YEC for every 1 ZCL, I might swap some back at 0.2-0.3

@ourcryptotalk You missed $YEC Ycash

Privacy Coins Tier List Everyone talks about privacy. Almost no one builds it right. So we ranked the few that actually did. 🔴 S Tier : ZANO, XMR, ARRR, ZEC $ZANO : → Hybrid PoW/PoS, mandatory RingCT, confidential assets, stealth staking, and the Zarcanum protocol fusing zk-SNARKs with RingCT. → No transparent transactions ever. Confidential assets, privacy stablecoins, bridges. → The only chain delivering scalable, enterprise-ready privacy. #1 by design. $XMR : → Still the backbone of digital fungibility. → Ring signatures, stealth addresses, and Dandelion++ routing. → A decade of battle testing has made it the reference standard. $ARRR : → Pure zk-SNARK shielding. No optional privacy, no transparent layer. → Komodo dPoW security ensures censorship resistance. → Privacy maximalism embodied. $ZEC : → The academic origin of zk-SNARKs and the seed of modern privacy tech. → Despite optional shielding, over 30% of 2025 transactions use full privacy mode. → Regarded as the institutional face of zero-knowledge research. 🟠 A Tier: ANYONE, BDX $ANYONE : → A privacy operating system for Web3. → Combing private identity, soulbound reputation, and verifiable voting. → Positioned as the gateway between private computation and human identity. 2026 breakout candidate. $BDX : → Mandatory mixing, staking, and encrypted messaging. → Growing as a payments-layer alternative with consistent on-chain activity. → A steady, underrated performer in privacy infrastructure. 🟤 B Tier: SCRT, ERG, ROSE, FIRO, PIVX $SCRT : → Private smart contracts on Cosmos and EVM rails. → A leader in programmable privacy but with partial visibility trade-offs. $ERG : → Sigma protocols, local mixers, and Rosen bridge architecture. → An academic’s coin, but adoption remains niche. $ROSE : → Enterprise-grade zk enclaves for data privacy. → Used in institutional partnerships, less so by individual users. $FIRO : → Lelantus Spark technology and verified anonymity sets. → Solid research, weaker liquidity. $PIVX : → Governance-driven privacy through zPIV and masternodes. → Active, community-led, and historically resilient. 🟡 C Tier: ZEPH, DASH, NYM, DUSK, TORN $ZEPH : → Monero fork with an over-collateralized stablecoin. → Interesting experiment, still early and unproven. $DASH : → Fast, but PrivateSend is opt-in and traceable when skipped. $NYM : → Mixnet-level metadata privacy, not full transactional privacy. $DUSK : → Focuses on private securities and compliance frameworks, not personal anonymity. $TORN : → Once essential, now sanctioned and risky to interact with. Symbol of what happens when privacy meets regulation head-on. 🟢 D Tier : CCD, XEL, AZERO, ALEO, LITKEY, SENTINEL Ecosystems with limited recent activity or uncertain privacy focus. Innovation potential exists, but 2025 traction remains minimal. Still present in code, waiting for a second act.

@joachimtcb Explain $YEC differences with $ZEC Ycash is getting renewed attention and it deserves more recognition as a Zcash fork

Which tokens would you like to see me research & write some more articles on?

@tomismeta @CloutedMind @Mnewbis x.com/ethereum/statu…

@CloutedMind @Mnewbis Can you share a couple Ethereum privacy protocols that have capabilities at parity with zcash/monero?

INSANE that the entire timeline thinks privacy coins like monero and zcash are better than ethereum after everything 😭😭 ethereum ecosystem went to war with the us government ethereum pushes the most onchain privacy tools and zk innovation ever you can literally actually use your anonymized eth in a plethora of onchain permissionless protocols and defi what the fuck u gon do with your zcash bro shield it and buy drugs?... lemme tell you drug dealers dont even want zcash dude proven anonymous financial ecosystem is the epitome of privacy tech ETH >>>>

@Zerodartz How long did it take to mine 10? And which GPU?

my GPU been grinding mining $yec for a bit now and reached over 10 unstoppable yapping private coins

@ZcashRabbi @ChadThunderdock 2x previous ATH in $YEC hashrate, that's a chart to pay attention to

@ChadThunderdock Miners have been coming and will continue to come, because anyone with a decent GPU can mine it whattomine.com/coins/339-yec-…

People will not buy $YEC because it’s not on Coinbase, Binance, or Kraken By the time it gets listed on those exchanges it probably would have done a 50x Link below:

@xmrgoddess Check out @YcashFoundation and @ZClassicOrg Both are forks of $ZEC, under 1$ I prefer XMR over Zec, but these 2 forks without the 20% founder's reward are actually closer to monero's idea of decentralization In addition, bitmart is listing them next week so price should pump

Privacy and sovereignty were the whole point of cryptocurrency This is why MONERO is pumping XMR is what BTC intended to be through Satoshi , peace be upon him/her/they/them/that stuff lol #monero #bitcoin #privacy

@NEARProtocol @joachimtcb "NEAR is here to work with everyone" When will you add support for Ycash $YEC? @YcashFoundation

@joachimtcb "NEAR is not constructing a wall; it creates a window with blinds." NEAR is here to work with everyone. Win and help win🤝 Great article!

@ShafoXel @YcashFoundation @safetrade @BitMartExchange What's gonna happen is your gonna be the proud holder of some unstoppable digital cash... Do you really think the pump already ended? Try setting buy orders at 0.05 or 0.1$ to see if you get lucky with a dump, that won't happen, $YEC will never see a mcap of 1M$ ever again

@zkatereth @YcashFoundation @safetrade @BitMartExchange yec had bull now and we dunno what gonna happen if we buy.

Ycash = Zcash's encrypted transactions + Bitcoin's pre-2013 mining economics Buy today on @safetrade. Coming soon to @BitMartExchange.

@ShafoXel @YcashFoundation @safetrade @BitMartExchange The good thing about a privacy coin is you CAN'T see the whales, that's the whole point of privacy... Although you could reconstruct balances in transparent addresses, those $YEC that are sent to sapling become untraceable

@YcashFoundation @safetrade @BitMartExchange Wheres the tokenomics? And how we can see the whales?

@crypto_bitlord7 The best one right now is $YEC, a fork of $ZEC

Now that $ZCASH has failed and users are reporting stuck shielded transactions, shill me some low cap privacy coins I’m specifically looking for a master node ring signature type coin Or a smart CA privatized coin existing on $ETH / $SOL

The reason why you don't see more $YEC shilling in your timeline is because whales are accumulating in silence after $ZEC's incredible ride to 700$. Once they are done buying, we will teleport from 1$ to 10$ and then the real FOMO will begin

@mert still have not even started shilling Ycash to mert $YEC Nfa

still have not even started shilling Zcash to uber drivers or dentists yet Nfa

If $ZEC dumps, all these profits will go towards buying more $YEC, the best Zcash fork, 700.0$ to buy 1 $ZEC 0.7$ to buy 1 $YEC

@DontTraceMeBruh What do you think about a $ZEC without the 20% founder's reward? $YEC - @YcashFoundation $ZCL - @ZClassicOrg

@ZcashRabbi @BitMartExchange YWallet is a privacy oriented wallet and messenger for Ycash and Zcash. From the official $ZEC page $YEC is too undervalued right now z.cash/ecosystem/ywal…

If you missed out on Zcash $ZEC Don’t miss out on Ycash $YEC @BitMartExchange listing in 7 days (14th)

After doing more research, my holding of $YEC are bigger than $ZCL I believe $YEC has better tech and community. $YEC under 1$ is a free gift, don't sleep on it

@joachimtcb @YcashFoundation On the official page of zcash, one of the main recommended wallets is YWallet with original support for $YEC They talk about Ycash on Zcash' page, that should be enough for anyone to buy at least 100 $YEC

Been conducting some research into $YEC @YcashFoundation Actually pretty impressed so I will continue to do research and see where I can provide some assistance.
