The privacy coins are gonna lose its users caused by people know that if they are fine even if they are trading by verifying their identity. Almost all of privacy coins have been going to the hell. I remember there were a lot of privacy coins in the previous years. We are only seeing a few that is still exist this time. I remember a coin like veil but almost all of privacy

Check out Swarm.com. It has been on my Twitter following recently and it seems good but I personally haven't tried it yet so DYOR.

Funnily enough, a decent number of DEXs(Gains, etc) supported a few high marketcap stocks in the past but I just checked right now and they don't. Demand probably isn't there and they'd rather focus on crypto.

It would appear, based on the news this week, that major world governments like the US and others are cracking down on the notion of "government-proof privacy", and prosecuting companies and individuals who facilitate money transfer that cannot be potentially traced by a government. They are going after mixers and brokers who do not adequately engage in KYC.

In short, it would seem that governments are trying eliminate the very thing that Bitcoin--and blockchain generally--was originally designed to accomplish.

What does this mean for the long term prospects for cryptocurrencies? Will blockchain survive losing it's original purpose?

My own answer is: "yes", in the short term, and "maybe" for the longer term.

I have written before about different kinds of "privacy" that people might want, and most want privacy from other citizens, from companies, and from criminals: privacy from a targeted investigation from the government is a level that, in my estimation, a "nice to have" for most people, but not a dealbreaker.

Hence in the short term, cryptos missing their original purpose is not something most consumers care about. Most holders of Bitcoin these days do so in a centralized way, e.g. with an app or a broker that keeps their account under their name, in a centralized database.

As for the longer term, this brings up an important question: why use blockchain at all?

Blockchain is slow and expensive to transact in on purpose because of proof-of-work and decentralization. No cryptocurrency will ever come even close to scaling to the billions of transactions each day by people worldwide.

But a digital currency that is not blockchain-based can accomplish this and provide the same mechanism for speculation and value store that blockchain-based currencies provide. In my opinion, the long-term future of the actual blockchain architecture behind today's cryptocurrencies is... unclear.

Could we make a hard fork to disable new inscription to reduce the network pressure. Then both inscriptoin supporter and objector can work on each chain. That may seeperate bitcoin value to two chain, and probably, one chain can gain more value,we can call the coin on this chain BTC, the other chain must called another name. Even though, the inscriptions inscribed before fork seem valid after fork.

Check Monero's development team.  They are anonymous since 2014.  That means you can be anonymous as long as you are not reckless. 

Nah. I wouldn't call it inevitable and history has pretty much proven that op. Central banks are like the GPUs/Hearts of the world governments implying that they will survive no matter what happens.

Bitcoin overtaking FIAT is just a pipe dream that some believe in while most people including me strongly believe that it will continue serving as an alternative payment method to FIAT.

Memecoins are the reason why a lot of people here. While im hating it, it push industry forward in some direction

If I remember correctly, binance's dominance is still over 50% in the market, I don't think they will lose their dominance anytime soon. They are still doing very well compared to other exchanges even though they no longer have CZ. And even if Binance loses its dominance or disappears, there will be another centralized exchange to replace it. Complete elimination of CEX is impossible, and they will increasingly dominate this market as government regulations are enacted. I don't think the idea of a completely decentralized market is possible.

I might have defended Tron in the past but no more. It's not that we'll need a lot of these coins and platforms to issue more and more tokens and memecoins. People would no longer disperse their money everywhere. The specific platform needs to stand out and offer, ease, comfort and reliability to developers and users. Tron has for years failed to do that. There used to be a popular coin called NEO in the past, they might have rebranded but it's nowhere to be seen now, the same fate is being developed for Tron. If the stay as they are, they'll be pushed out from Top 100 by marketcap in next bull run.

Unfortunately, hype is all the coin needs in order to pump. People mostly don't care about the efficiency or functionality of the blockchain. They are just here to make some quick money and move onto the next one.

Right now, as things look, solana has a lot of hype. In fact, even Base probably has more hype than HBAR due to the meme craze

Does solana network ready for huge demand?
What you think of solana price ? Does solana are high supply or limited supply coin compared others ?
So i think we see 7000$ price because supply and demand but even that much gain it's not life Changing gain so that's why i don't try to get rich with alt coins neither with btc but it's nice to some gains.
But now the sol is hot specially when other coins are sleeping what's the solana price targets ?
Are you fan of solana ? Im big fan of solana i think it's the best chain i want to invest more into.

It cannot be denied that Tether is the best investment of all time, where Tether is very stable and its value always follows USD movements, and Tether is an altcoin that can be a security for crypto assets, where if the crypto market is experiencing chaos or the price value is very unstable, then tether could be the best solution to be able to secure your crypto assets, namely by exchanging your assets to tether.

We have yet to know which direction will Bitcoin take after the halving. As of now, it seems there's a correction. But this doesn't necessarily mean Bitcoin is taking the downward direction. This could merely be a quick correction brought about by individuals or institutions dumping. I still feel like the overall sentiment remains bullish. There might still be an ATH at least a year from now.

I don't think Bitcoin halving determines whether there will be more Bitcoin-related innovations or not. The rate of adoption determines that. However, the halving has indeed encouraged a different kind of innovation in Rodarmor's Runes.

The Bitcoin halving creates hype. It's a widely talked about event on social media and elsewhere, so I guess it could have also attracted certain people to get to know Bitcoin.

If dominance of Binance in CEX market place and cryptocurrency market becomes bigger, it will be worse. We need more decentralized, more choices to purchase, trade our bitcoins and cryptocurrencies. We don't want too much centralization in Binance or only some big exchanges.

Decentralized is future we aim at but it will be harder with more and stricter regulations from governments.

Lots of people tend to choose memecoins over bitcoin or ethereum when making small payments or transactions because they are cheap and as well as their transaction fees. This is something the top coins need to address but in the meantime this is probably one of the things memecoins are useful for.

payment processed

was also thinking about why this token is still one of the top tokens when it doesn't really have a good price. but i think they deliberately want the price to maintain this low for it to be available for anyone.

i use to have more than 50k of this TRON but sold it back in 2021. but if i have to get into TRon to invest again, i think this is the right time when its not dumping anymore and somehow rising. i think the Chinese like this token already for being cheaper.

Meme coins are just pump and dumps hoping they will catch on with enough people and keep their scam going longer. while the meme coins may offer the illusion of easy money, the reality is far more sobering, better to avoid taking risk in such speculative assets.
