Nations Should Embrace Privacy Coins Like Monero and ZCash, According to Weiss Ratings

August 12, 2018 By Mark Lyford Leave a Comment

The UN is Combating Climate Change One Block(chain) at a Time

Privacy-focused coins such as Dash, Monero, and ZCash are controversial as they can anonymize criminals online. However, privacy is important as many people live under the auspices of corrupt governments where such technology represents a beacon of hope.

Governments should fear privacy coins as a form of money. The degree of anonymity is startling. Governments should also warm to the non-monetary applications of the underlying technology. There is too much potential for much-needed protection, claims Weiss Ratings in their recent blog post written by Martin D. Weiss, PhD and Juan M. Villaverde.

The World Needs Privacy

Governments are waging a war of physical cash. They want to force all liquid assets under the roof of financial institutions. This is an issue for the millions of citizens under authoritarian, corrupt regimes. Two key risks being asset seizures and invasion of personal privacy. The non-monetary applications of privacy coin technology provide solutions.

ICO Market to Hit $ 12B Raised Despite More Than 800 Dead Coins

There are now more than 800 coins which are essentially dead. However, the market for Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) continues to boom in 2018, raising almost $ 12 billion in the first two quarters alone.

Lots of Flaws

ICOs have surely become a hot topic in the last year and a half. This alternative fundraising method saw its massive upswing of interest in 2017 when it managed to reach upwards of $ 3.8 billion of capital raised. Yet, the first two quarters of 2018 have dwarfed that number, raising almost $ 12 billion, according to Coinschedule.
