The rise pattern in the privacy coin sector is actually quite similar—miners sell mining rigs with stories, investors buy into the narrative, each fulfilling their own needs. Do you remember the bold claim back then that "mining costs are less than 1U and not worth mentioning"?

Shanzhai privacy coins like ZEC also can't escape this cycle. The coin itself isn't the problem—liquidity is sufficient, volatility is moderate, and the trend appears stable. From a technical perspective, it looks acceptable. For traders, such assets indeed offer plenty of opportunities.

But ultimately, miners are thinking about selling mining rigs, while we are focused on the market story. Everyone has a bright "future," as long as you don't end up being the last one to take the fall.
