you need to buy it first leaving no trace.. other perpetrators, like sanctioned states, they have ability to buy it first, then send leaving no trace, otherwise it doesn't work.. it's dangerous to use this coin.. fiat coming out of it is dirty by default, until not proven guilty

Zcash privacy only works if everyone uses it perfectly. They don’t

Given how upside down crypto is nowadays, they probably would've frozen the $ZEC before it left the exchange

Because the "hackers" were part of the exchange cabal manipulating prices. Just another gimmick.

Zcash is just a privacy ad. No serious hacker will choose ZEC over XMR

$ZEC is optional privacy . $XMR is only private. The reason Zcash beat’s Monero is because governments can control it for themselves.

because most zec isn't even shielded, and the pool that is shielded is too small. a $356m clip would stand out, not blend

It isn't just hackers. The largest western dnms primarily use xmr and none of them use zcash. Even more eye openjng, look at clearnet tx data. Monero mogs Zcash. For hacks or ransoms, the technical reason for xmr dominance over zcash is because shielded adoption of zcash is abysmal. Hardly any coinswaps support it and near intents will just freeze any large funds immediately. Because xmr has dealt with delistings for a while the community has adapted for non kyc methods.

Because zcash is not anonymous as you think, the only anonymous crypto is xmr

How many zec tokens are in rotation?

Replying to @crypto_bitlord7
hackers usually go where the liquidity is and ZEC just isn't that deep

Replying to @crypto_bitlord7
privacy is great until you need liquidity somewhere that actually accepts the private coin

zec is watched like a hawk and the shielded pool is way too thin for that size
