- Investment Thesis of Privacy Coin: Monero positions itself as private digital cash with a market cap of $11 billion; however, its privacy features clash with financial regulators' demands, leading to trading restrictions on major exchanges.
- Supply Policy Differences: Unlike Bitcoin's fixed supply, Monero employs a tail emission policy, resulting in a slight annual dilution of about 1%, which complicates its price dynamics compared to Bitcoin and affects investor confidence.
- Exchange Restrictions Impact: Major exchanges like Binance have delisted Monero due to regulatory pressure, making it difficult to purchase and hold, which increases anxiety among investors and may disqualify it as a worthwhile investment.
- Uncertain Market Outlook: Despite Monero's potential in privacy protection, the uncertainty of regulations and low market acceptance necessitate cautious evaluation of its future investment value, especially in the current market environment.
