There's an interesting disconnect in the privacy coin narrative. Plenty of detailed analyses and white papers circulate around ZEC, yet when you look at actual adoption metrics and community activity, Monero consistently dominates the space. The gap between marketing efforts and real-world usage tells you something about market fundamentals. Worth paying attention to what users actually choose versus what gets the most promotional energy.

In simple terms, ZEC relies on hype, while Monero is truly voted for by users.

Really, the gap between marketing and actual user numbers is so large, indicating that ZEC's promotional approach can't stand up to Monero's practical application. No matter how good the theoretical work is, it all depends on who is actually using it with real money.

Monero is winning big, ZEC is just on paper; look at the real data and you'll see who the true leader is.
