How Monero Fulfilled Satoshi’s Promise

lyricism: > Isn’t it theoretically better if it were always enabled, but suffers from a problem where most Zcash users don’t use it so its actual anonymity set is fairly small? This might be outdated information, I don’t actually follow these things much but thought I’d read that at some point. That is a theoretical technical difference, and Monero will match ZCash on that technical level once FCMP++ is implemented. In reality, Monero is much more private than ZCash because it is private by default, which means all Monero users benefit from the privacy. Anyone on this forum can see how important default, not opt-in privacy is, for adoption and privacy. ZCash is also more centralized than Monero, includes a dev tax, and is accepted in many less places than Monero. I would be very happy if ZCash became private by default, but it is not.
