Privacy coins are definitely a good investment right now. I would say xspec is the cheapest high quality anonymous coin that can actually compete with Monero and Dash. Their technology is superior and is trading at around $2
But xspec (presently trading at $1.50 is NOT a community based project and the ICO claimed 95% of the coins. From their site
https://spectreproject.io/"20,000,000 XSPEC was created in a genesis transaction and 95% of the XSPEC supply was sold to investors in late 2016. As of mid 2017, this ICO ranks as the 6th best performing ICO in history in terms of return on investment for our investors".
It also is little more than tunneling through TOR which anyone can do without any more tech.
Whereas Intensecoin out of the box already offers anonymous traceless, un-linkable transactions based on the same Crytponote algo of Monero but gives you the added benefit of a VPN tunnel through which to do business. And as a bonus you can choose to act as a VPN endpoint for others and charge whatever you want to for the service. Good VPN's cost upward to $100 a year. They also have plans for marketplaces too. Huge roadmap on their site at
http://intensecoins.com/ The coins are going for less than a cent right now, at
https://stocks.exchange/trade/ITNS/BTC but sure to explode when they get on more exchanges in 2018. No ICO needed. This is gonna fly.
