Hey, guys. Can anyone explain in simple words, what are the main benefits of Monero compared to other anonymous coins?

Objectively, if used correctly, ZCash has better transaction privacy, at least until FCMP++ goes live with (probably) the next Monero hardfork. After FCMP++ goes live, no, Monero will be the objectively best privacy coin in all aspects.

In reality you have about 400 fully private ZCash transaction per day and 40.000 for Monero. You might literally be the only person making a Zcash transaction that day within a +100 mile radius, not much of a crowd to hide in.

There are many other factors like ZCassh having a CEO, dev fee, moonboy community and even their garbage tier mascot that make people prefer Monero.

@silverpill @monero @owe_addams @monerobull hi owe, earlier this year your server was not cloudflre-served, now it is.

act accordingly

monero is ultimately dependent on bitcoin, if you want to know why contact me on a server that is not corporate captured.

There were a bunch of anime girls drawn by some Japanese person a long time ago but the zcash community doesn't really care about it (imo a good indicator that their "community" is only really about NgU and not that organic). ZCash corporate likes to use zebras which is also not really working.
