Monero vs Zcash- who wins?

[masterrex]

I think both coins were created to perform privacy-centric functions, and they have their own purpose to fulfill. but If I will use a privacy coin to be anonymous in my transactions I will choose Monero because it's undeniable that Monero has a superb privacy function that even the Internal Revenue Service or (IRS) of the United States of America was not able to break its encryption so that was a proof of Monero supremacy.

I still prefer monero if i want a super private transaction. Up to now im still having a hard time using the monero explorer and navigating it. So having a non-user friendly explorer offers additional privacy

Overall, for the purposes of non-linkable private transactions, Monero tends to be preferred over ZCash (when comparing ZCash vs. Monero), while ZCash appears to be more focused on cryptography research and development, using a peer-to-peer crypto network. as a testing ground in real life (as is also evident from the number of protected transactions that actually occur in ZCash). ZCash may also be much more prone to centralization.

I still believe that monero is undervalued. Generally speaking, I expect coins that promise anonymity to be much higher in value, and monero is the most powerful anonymity investment on the market.
and also think monero and similar coins will receive more investment, as I believe that crypto-rich will spend much more to hide themselves in the future.

From what I've read and been told by friends who know was they are talking about is that Monero is superior to Zcash.  I am wondering if anyone can provide some Pros and Cons between the two?

Sure!

Monero's transactions are anonymous but zcash transactions can be transparent or not. Most zcash transactions are not shielded because people choose them to be so which in a way shows that there's not much drive for privacy among its users.

Zcash became popular not because it was better than Monero as a privacy coin but because it was profitable to mine.

Monero is the best anonymous coin because its algorithm ensures secure payments by default.
The best development team, some of which are still anonymous.
The ecosystem of the coin is very large, and everyone is already used to it.
And the market doesn't need many anonymous competitors.

agree, monero is the best anonymous token...

For truly anonymous transactions, Monero is definitely the answer. I've never used Monero as a transaction, but I see the community is wide and it's really really needed for truly anonymous transactions.
