Does anyone else think monero has the potential to match the value of the other ‘privacy coins’ i.e. dash and zcash? The privacy features of monero, IMO, piss all over the other two, at least when they’re all functional. Sending and receiving

Monero has the potential allright. But, wether the potential is enough to match the value of other "privacy coins" or not, is yet to be seen. Any prediction or such attempt will be futile.

indeed now monero is very potential, this requires the support of various parties, especially investors so that this monero can later compete with other coins ,,

Monero does seem to have potential to match other privacy coins but it is too soon to determine. As the market shifts back and forth, it is not a sure thing that something is popular right now or seems to be gaining value will do so in the long run. We'll have to wait and see what potential Monero really holds as a contender.

While Monero has its potential, Monero was not advertising itself as a speculative asset.

On the other hand, Dash has the masternodes which means that some entities have to hold big quantities of money (making the coin seem more scarce, hence more expensive), also the coins for the masternodes need to be acquired (usually bought), also the premine and instamine from the early days may have helped too in this.

ZCash was quite a hype when it was launched, which again helps a lot with the price, but since its privacy relies on a person instead of math, I didn't follow its story, nor its price.


Unfortunately Monero team may be overconfident on Monero future. While I can't deny it's a good coin with a good and active team and community, the lack of advertising makes the competitors get more attention. And it's not only the functionality what matters, it's also the awareness and acceptance... Of course, this is an "issue" that can be fixed sooner or later, hopefully not too late.

Monero really have a potential in the market in terms of privacy and i heard a lot from monero lately so this could boost its price for the incoming days and if the bulls came back to life. Buy the news and sell the rumor, that is what i always heard from crypto enthusiastand that really is effective to gain a profit.

I have not researched too far about Monero in particular. In my understanding and what I know, Monero uses a ring signature, sounds secret transactions, and also a secret address to obscure the origin, number and destination of all transactions. That's as far as I understand for now.

Monero is a silent crypto but doing great to attract more potential investors. This coin is one of the top altcoins in the market. Being in the top is a privilege to lead other alts. It is also an indicator of active and possible to rise in any moment when bitcoin goes up.

The main appeal is that it's great for anonymous transactions. However, until the government makes bitcoin illegal,that doesn't seem to be much of an attraction for mainstream users except may be to purchase black market or embarrassing goods,which seems will only ever be a small portion of the market.

Trying too look on whats Monero doing in the market.Its just silent there are no hypes or shills about it but just still remain on the market but the value isn't really that low for us to considered to be a shitcoin or just like another typical coin in the market.Its always have that potential we are talking about but talking about privacy then it would really just stick on its own path even though majority of centralized exchangers doesn't accept monero but still this do get a good support.

Potential of this coin is very nice because its general plus of being the most anonymous coin promises the great bright future for it and we see its starting now as well.

I thought Monero already surpassed Dash and Zcash in some way. Monero offers the most annonymous transaction than the others. Althouh Monero dosen't have a good marketing compared with Dash and Zcash. 

Yep, Monero is a good and alive coin, and it has a potential. BTW the hardfork was happened recently, Bulletproofs protocol was implemented and transaction cost was reduced to $0.005-0.01 per transaction. And also there was another changes in mining protocol.

        Monero is a potential currency, like the rest of the TOP. In fact, all currencies have potential as long as they are investors. To attract investors, Monero needs more promotion. It is a shame not to promote this coin more professionally, because they have a large, good team and an interesting project.

It has the potential, in fact, they are the most underrated coin in the market, people who have just come in the industry and starting to invest should include monero in their list and check out the progress, soon monero will become a top coin in the market because it deserves to be there.

The good thing about monero is that it has been around for quite a while at it seems that it is working. Other such as Verge or ZCash have protocols that are in theory weaker, less private.

I like Monero so much, it is very good at work and going stronger. I know that a lot of experts believe that this one will be one of the greates coins ever.

We all know were Monero started from and what make it attain the height, were all and sundry are now fans of the coin today. It came into existence without ICO and the team behind it was superb in terms of it technology development. The team has continuously be on a standby to get it technology up-to-date, so there must be a driven force from the team members and which now give it more potentials to contend with other coins on CMC.

Various altcoin is giving the same features, but you have to use it according to your advantages and benefit. If you think after calculating that monero is good for you, then go for it.

Hi, I think Monero does not have the potential.
These coins are better than Monero in many parameters - Horizen, Dash, Zcash.

I think yes. As for me, I have some monero in my wallet. Today it was hardfork and it was quit successful. I think it will grow very high next year. I can recomend to buy this coin.

I think Montero has the potential and prospect in the future, I look to the coin, and while I think she's one of the best Aldanov, but need to watch,everything can change.

Montero Sports? ;D

Its Monero (XMR). Its one of the coins that are gradually increasing to be used on Deepweb due to its anonymity features.I wont be surprised if this would head up
on the same path with Bitcoin yet it do start also into that place and there would always be a possibility to be supported even more since Crypto = Decentralization.

Yes it has and I think no one will disagree the potential of monero. In my personal opinion it's the best privacy coin in crypto space but the only problem(I read online) is that less people use it, maybe because its wallet is not easy to set up & use like ethereum or bitcoin wallet.

I think that Monero is a good one but btc and ether are better than any other coins and i think that they are worth your money, they are the most popular coins which will bring good profit

I think that Monero has the potential for the future , because I consider Monero to have a large market, large volumes in every market, and enthusiasm from traders who buy and sell manero coins, and the better that Monero is currently ranked 10th in the CMC

I like monero, but I have never compared it to other coins. As far as I know, Monero has pretty good potential. It would be better if you research for now and a few weeks ago. Good luck, friend! Thank you. ;D

Monero is becoming a great name in the market. Constant upgradation is ongoing and if it continues to do so it certainly has the potential to do something good.

Monero definitely has potentials to have a solid future as it is constantly upgrading. Recently monero is implementing a new technology to make blockchain privacy features more scalable named "Bulletproof".

Monero has the potential to become such. Specially, once the bulletproof upgrade hits the network, they will significantly reduce transaction cost.

Monero is becoming a great name in the market. Constant upgradation is ongoing and if it continues to do so it certainly has the potential to do something good.

I don't think that Monero has the same potential like BTC but to my mind it can also have some potential and benefits. I think that each coin has advantages. To my mind, ether and btc have better potential

I think that all the same, yes, Monero has great potential for growth in the future. I think that with the upcoming growth of monero there will be about $ 200.

Monero definitely has a potencial in long term. Amongst people anonim coins will be more in demand than usual coins.

I believe Monero has the huge potential because devs are listening their community and changing POW algos to resist ASICs and keep GPU mining really decentralized.

If that so, Monero is the aim of everybody because it has capability and potentials in terms of currency. Well to get along with this type of currency is much awaited part. This coin is very helpful and for sure it will generates all over the world in easy way because it has a big chances and it will create a big team.

Not sure what you are talking about, Monero doesn't need to match the value of other privacy coins, it is THE most valued privacy coin out there.
It is already stomping all other ones.
Especially when you consider dash was almost double the market cap value of monero for awhile.

Monero is great.  It's the most valuable because it is quite simply the best.
I would say the reason it has become the best it because of the overwhelming support the community has for it.
It has never had any developmental drama and all forks and developments have been met with overall support.
The blockchain itself is very stable, with many other shitcoins copying it and taking it.

On top of all of this, monero has name brand recognition and market penetration.
A coin is only as good as those willing to use it and adopt it, and monero has that and more.

Monero and Zcash are both good privacy coins, but this is no longer a talk to fight over cause lots of experts has already confirmed that Monero(XMR) is better than Zcash (ZEC) in terms of privacy. The only thing with ZEC is that it is widely accepted than XMR and not much wallets are out there for XMR. But XMR has gotten the interest of investors and has been the choice for lots of people and I don’t see ZEC getting close to cover up the gaps.

Monero has a chance to be the potential coins and monero is one of the oldest coins so I think monero can survive and even monero can increase the price to the higher price. I still hold my monero because I don't think that right now is a good chance to sell monero and I want to buy monero when the price is down again. Today, monero still trying to break the next higher price and I think the volume increases too and I hope it could reach more than 0.02 bitcoin in someday.

it could be, if the System created by Monero continues to be used. because I heard from some friends the results of the discussion, Monero will have good grades later on

maybe you are right and aftually only time will show but i like this cryptocurrency it seems to be nice to me at least right now

i hope it will grow and bring us some money as it is really important to have soemthing like this in our wallets as it can grow a lot

The anomymity is very important for the rich people due to the safety and security concerns. I believe more people will use it.

In my opinion, Monero has good potential. In particular, Monero uses ring signatures, confidential transactions ... Monero will be crowded with crypto selective users. But the sophistication and technological advancement of Monero will make its potential even better.

I'm not sure about the future of Monero I'm more interested in discussing NEO, even though Monero is one of the coins in the best ranks in crypto currency, I prefer NEO which will be the best altcoin in the future

I think so too, more people are starting to use private coins even more, there is nothing that anyone can do to stop the growth of a coin such as monero. It is a coin that when you do a transaction with it you can be sure that your transaction is going to be completely anonymous. With the growth we have seen with the coin so far, there is no doubt that the coin has the potential to do well.

Monero is safety and anonymity. The coin enters a top 10 and this coin has big prospect in the future. Buy Monero.

It does, it has the potential to become one of the biggest and most successful coins in the market, we all need privacy, so many of us came to start using cryptocurrencies because of the anonymity that came with it all but now there is less and less anonymity as there are more ways to track the transactions, that is why coins like monero are going to be very important because they offer privacy

Monero is the best privacy coin and I think that we need more crypto currencies that will allow such privacy level, as Monero does. If the market will decide that we need more privacy, Monero will become the leader of this market.

Of course, he still has great potential for growth and he grew very well in the previous two years, I see no objective reasons for him not to grow in 2019-2020

Monero has a lot of potential and I have also a token and waiting to boom in this year, hope I will profit it, as we can see it was started a late years ago and it was already famous because of there uniqueness.

monero in 2017 was once an altcoin top besides ethereum, and has a good price development. now monero remains one of the good coins and has the potential to be used as a buying option.

In some areas, they may prefer Monero over Bitcoin, because Monero's anonymity is very suitable for some transactions that require a high degree of confidentiality, and more and more people will not want to reveal their privacy, so Monero Still have huge potential.

I could say in terms of potential, yes, monero is potential compared to other altcoins out there. Although every alt was developed with their own perspective and mission to accomplished things and goals with accordance to roadmap and white paper. Monero have potential, no question about that. These all my opinion, and thank you

The privacy feature has to be said to be arguably the greatest strength that Monera wields over its competitors. However, many have called its scalability into question and I think it will heavily hamper its progress and mass adoption

Privacy coins are a problem, because the institutional money cannot invest legally on funds that do not have a clear origin. If you do KYC then it ceases to be private.

Montero is one of the leading privacy crypto currency on the market but you really believe those currency will escape from the regulation ?

It has a lot of potential to do well, I think so too. For right now, there is no privacy coin that can boast to be better than monero when it comes to privacy coins, it is the best and the most secure way for anyone to send money anonymously to anyone. Monero is the most functional privacy coin and by the end of the next bull we will be seeing a lot of new heights

No one will ask KYC for private coin, If they ask KYC, they will ruin the coin. And Monero will be the best private coin in this market now and in the future

The potential is always and always will be, because anonymity is violated today and it needs to be corrected, because today, well, we need to very seriously talk about what will happen tomorrow and how to react and work with Monero correctly

monero has a lot of potential my friend
because in my opinion monero is the best privacy coins if we compared with the others

All what Monero need right now is project Kovri.  Once that will be integrated in Monero it will give by far best anonymity.  Transaction fees are allready under 1 cent. And with the more transactions in one block, the transaction fee will only decrease.

Monero had potential ever since it started, that potential has been sitting there lurking but not doing anything staying as just a potential. I am tired of all these coins that has potential to be something one day but still at the early stages, we have seen so many coins be something that I am not thinking any coin that promotes potential is worthy of me looking at anymore.

If ethereum could have a fork and turn itself from couple dollar crypto into ICO king and 200 dollar value per (while it is considered low may I add) than all coins have an option to do something, anything. If a coin just sits there hoping to be picked up by the community to increase than I am sorry but you are not going anywhere, get up develop improve and be something yourself and people will flock to you.

Monero is open source software. Cryptocurrency uses the principle of Proof-of-work ("proof of work").
Unlike Bitcoin, the total issue of Monero is not limited: after the initial release of 18.4 million XMR, the subsequent mining will bring 0.6 new XMR for each two-minute block. This was done to ensure that miners maintained the system after the main issue emission.
The algorithm for mining in Monero differs in that it actively uses the AES command system for x86 microprocessors and a large amount of memory, which makes mining on the GPU less efficient than for Bitcoin.
In my opinion, Monero is one of the best coins on the cryptocurrency market, which is not very far from the original idea.

Monero do have the potential.

If you will create a poll and survey on what's the most popular privacy coin, you'll get same answer about Monero. I'm not belittling dash and zcash and other privacy coins but Monero is monero and its above all privacy coins.

Yes. I think Monero has a huge potential. It stays top of the market for a long time relatively others. It has gained the trust of investors. I also keep some coins and hope it will gives me a good return.

I also think Monero has a future, there are prospects for development. Perhaps Monero will be the second cryptocurrency.

This is the best coin of anonymity among all and the most experienced. So it’s not worth talking about it, it calmly does its job and develops and conquers new investors. True while above the head can not jump.

Of course Monero has a future and I believe in this, the development of the monero I think is good and for the future it will certainly develop better

Yes, I do think Monero is a coin with potential. It is a slow and steady coin with good technology and community support. Without much hypes and advertising, it has grown to its current size.  I am looking forward to seeing its result in the next few years.

Monero is always having a potential. I believe in the need for a privacy coin.

If there was no need or a demand from the public for such a coin there wouldn't be one right now. However we should also consider what type of market share such coins could have. Monero is the biggest one and there are still ones that is mined with either staking or CPU and so forth but the market share for such coins seems very little.

I think monero is strictly tied to the crypto general market cap, the bigger it gets the bigger monero will get, without the other crypto markets and interest towards other stuff Monero can't get its name out and become a big coin all by itself. It is a decent niche need provider but it will never be big enough to be known and used everywhere.

it seems to me that all cryptocurrencies have potential. I am sure that in the end it will be that the market will remain only giants. and most likely monero will be among them. now everything looks like this

I do not know, the Monero coin is quite liquid and supported in various social networks. in addition, it is constantly being improved. but I'm not an analyst to see a possible future.

It does have the potential, there is no doubt there. When you start talking about privacy coins then monero is the best coin that comes to mind and with people wanting to keep more of their transactions hidden they are going to move to monero to do that since they can no longer get the anonymity that they desire from bitcoin and other coins

maybe you're really right. now I see many people who invest in monero and they really believe in success. I am sure that the right investment will help monero to develop and grow

It has already surpassed both Dash and Zcash in value market cap wise, the value per coin is much more tied to supply, not development. So Monero can be better, have a bigger market cap and still not necessarily surpass the value of Dash/Zcash. I think all three coins have some good privacy features but out of them, Monero is slightly ahead of the curve. The developers behind Monero are some of the best in the business too. But again, that doesn't mean to say it should be worth more than the other 2.

Monero has a very big potential precisely in anonymity, I hope that the encryption algorithms will be constantly improved, because it seems to me that all this should be constantly improved.

As far as i know Monero is number one choice for people who are looking to hide their transactions but if i am not mistaken , there is conditions for it to completely anonymous as you have to download the entire blockchain to be able to do that.

correct if i am wrong :)

I heard that ETH has potentian and now it is running by the ocean see. It make me to undestand that I should not trust anybody but myself.

Monero is also a very good coin with high potential. People also have full faith on it. Market is also very strong. It gives huge profit. It covers whole market in very short time. It is very safe and good coin.

Of cource, it has a potential. In the same time, nobody knows, when exactly this potential will start working and nobody going to explain it in the nearest future.

When ETH is down, other altcoins are attractive for investors, but when it is up, the same people will forget about altcoins and invest ETH.

I am afraid of privacy coins that governments will not accept these kind of cryptocurrencies and also I am afraid of the power of these cryptocurrencies. Think about who wants to use anonymous cryptocurrencies? Murderers,  thieves and other bad people.

Theoretically, every token has potential. In fact, most of them are completely useles and bitcoin dependend. So what are all these talks for?

I’m a 100% long term eth holder, but I seriously don’t get how monero is not in the top 10 considering all the utter crap up here at the moment.

It doesn't matter about the price, look at the market cap and you will see that monero is already the number one privacy coin. It is accepted widely in the dark markets so it will always be in demand

Yes, I believe monero is great coin with high potential, in recent years it entered the top 10, it shows that people use it and maybe she will be one on the market of anonymous cryptocurrencies.

I think after all regulated Monero was last real untracable coin with big community and most of pople use it because they have main cryptocurrency aspects

If the society is going to decide that the privacy is the most important factor in the future, a lot of people will switch to crypto currencies and monero coin will become the leader of this market. I hope it is not going to happen, because it has some bad potential in the dark web.

Monero is one of the best coins in the crypto space. This is one of the legends in crypto. However, in the future, Monero is unlikely to attract large enough investments in itself. I prefer to discuss my investments in NEO and EOS.

Monero and Zcash have the best anonymity technology for me. Dash comes somewhere behind the two. I think all coins that want to be privacy coins must look to Monero and ZEC.

I like monero, it haD profitable mining and also good reputation and popularity, it will continue to grow and develop

Yes, of course I am sure of this if Monero has good potential, this coin is worth considering and I am sure that Monero will grow better in the future and will be widely known

Of course, Monero has prospects for development, it’s not for nothing that this coin is in the top -20 of all crypto-currencies, but the whole problem is that such tokens with anonymous transactions will not be trusted by governments and some exchanges, therefore such coins are not will be widely used in the future. Personally, my opinion.

Montero is one of the leading privacy cryptocurrency but i prefer zcash over it on the market but you really believe those currencies will escape from the regulation and AML ?

Monero, though not well known by some, but it is doing great. I like it when a coin is growing as expected, even though it is not so popular.
Also monero is a good match for private coins and it can compete favourably with them.

Today, monero shows itself as one of the most promising and most stable coins on the market.
More than half of my friends invested in the ethereum and monero.

Monero has huge potential but privacy coins is always risky. One day when the world and the government will accept the crypto then there is a question mark on the privacy coin. 

I do think so, Monero is a great project and I can see a lot of potential for it's use in the near future

Now conditions very bad we can not say which is potential now. Maybe some token potential for just some days like LTC, BCH. Market of altcoin is under risky. Everything is in bad situaton. So monero or other any token is not potential now.

there are still other coins that have the potential of the three coins that you mentioned above, it is a ripple, this coin has a very strong potential to become a future coin. Yes now we see that this coin is only used scalping or long term, but actually this coin is more than that

Monero has indeed the potential, but what do you exactly mean by potential? the potential on replacing BTC or stepping into the throne? Well if that's the case then I don't think it will happen, though it has the potential on becoming one of the great cryptos since it is on the top rankings in the market.

Monero is really a good project as it is slowly trending in the market also Monero mining will give you good profit at the moment, it has good potential and capability to grow further. Very soon it will be in the top 10 coins table in CMC chart.

Monero obviously has a very great potential. Although it's value is not yet stable and there are some fluctuations, it has shown potential of rising and surely it will rise and even higher.

Monero is allright, but it isn't built on the Bitcoin-codebase. This is one of the big CONS of Monero... but for example Particl [PART] is a good choice because they have a business plan and are creating an ebay-like Marketplace where you can use ANY crypto that automatically converts into PART. You should check out the Bitcointalk-thread I made with some key points and new updates. ---> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5079037
Well... You can even try out the Marketplace right now. It works, but it is in ALPHA version.

Monero has to do better to achieve price increase.With this many investors will buy Monero coins and invest for a long term and patiently wait to rise again.This coin has the potential.

Even the best privacy coin will have opponents, so for Monero is not necessary to be the best in order to have a lot of users and supporters. The key is to avoid being compromised. In that case future will be bright.

Monero is one of the leading privacy cryptocurrency but i prefer zcash over it on the market but you really believe those currencies will escape from the regulation and AML i mean anti-money laundering?

Monero still shows himself, the coin is very popular on the network among all sorts of hackers or digital money enthusiasts. Plus, due to Monero, a huge number of coins are mined in a viral way

Monero is an amazing coin. I really like it. My favorite thing about it is it is like the best privacy coin on the market right now. Plus alot of websites accept it as a currency as well!  It is by far the best coin for anonymity!

Monero is a very promising coin. This project has a large community and a strong development team. I believe in this project. I think Monero will be able to become a top 5 coin in the future.

Monero is certainly an interesting coin. Their extremely high focus on privacy makes it unique compared to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

I think privacy brings own benefits but it also has risks. Like Michael Taylor in the other answer mentioned, wealthy people could use Monero to avoid taxes. Also, drug dealers and other people who make illegal business can take advantage of privacy and untraceability.

Still, I think that Monero has great potential and most likely it will be in this realm for long.

I do not doubt it at all, because it seems to me that Monero is the most anonymous project that is currently available on the cryptocurrency market. I am sure that this coin has a very large potential.

Monero is a very good project with abit of steady stability and progressive growth
Though it has minimal hypes and has achieved great exploits.

A lot of developments still ongoing for monero and has the tendency to be even better.

i see a lot of potential in monero but at this very moment i cannot foresee its future along side the greatest of all coins like bitcoin, ethereum, bitcoin cash, ripple, litecoin and many others, im not into monero these days but im gonna keep track of its record in the crypto market and from there we'll see to it, come what may, as they say.

Have you seen the latest news? that has explained that the bitcoin gets a lot of growth on its dark net transaction and why they don't use monero to keep the anonymous instead of use bitcoin to create a payment in the dark web? Can you explain?

Monero is one of the coins that its uses most resembles the plan for bitcoin when it first came out, with the way that the coins is mined and transacted and such. Monero is undoubtedly one of the best privacy coins out there in the market and it would not be a very long time before people start crowding to it seeing as bitcoin is becoming less anonymous.
The best part about Monero is that it is interchangeable and you have complete control over your currency and transactions. For users who are looking for anonymous cryptocurrencies in the near future to perform their transactions, industry experts recommend investors to buy Monero at the current price levels in order to get better returns in the future.

One can buy monero with credit card (https://coinswitch.co/coins/monero/buy-monero-worldwide)by comparing the prices across exchanges and buy at the best rate at Coinswitch exchange. It provides an easier way to buy Monero with a credit card anywhere in the world. It is a good investment and you will make a lot of profit from it.

Monero is a great coins and its price is really low right now so its a great time to buy some

Monero is also good to mine currently as the price has fallen, making mining worth while

You got it wrong friend ,monero rocks I know but have you forgotten that newer coins are been creates to surpass the old ones? In the near future we will see new ,better privacy coins that will rise over monero for sure,you can do research on 'veil' I think it will be better

Monero will definately create buzz among  investor.i think you have to rely on mining and follow hold policy . Right now its proove is lot but has great potential in temen of privacy. The other factor of purchasing through credit card also make it more attractive among other altcoin

It is a really interesting situation on what the regulators will think about privacy coins and how they are going to deal with them in the future, will they force the exchange to remove the coin from trading in public platforms, it is a question for the future on how the market deals with those obstacles. Monero is the most used coin in darknet as far as i know.


I am not sure which news you are following and which site is accepting bitcoin as a mode of payment in dark net, it is just old news resurfacing again and the truth is far from that. Majority of the dark net sites only accepts monero and nothing else, when there are a few privacy coins who in the right sense will use bitcoin when they are dealing in the dark web as the sole purpose is privacy. :P
