Privacy coins like Monero, ZEC and Dash are way underperforming in co-relation to Bitcoin and Ethereum. The most acceptable reason for this sluggishness is attributed to regulatory concerns over privacy coins. Many CEX have already delisted the coins of this niche and many others are also planning to do the same. Binance, which boasts the biggest liquidity for privacy coins, has decided to put these coins under monitoring subject recently. We can understand how big that a blow can be for these coins if Binance delists them from its platform.
So, what do you think would be the future for privacy coins if every centralized exchange put them away? Will they survive the blow or become irrelevant?

I appreciate that Monero exists and for me it's not a shitcoin as it has utility (fast, anon payments, low fees). It's for spending (like L2), not for savings or hodling. It's a tool you should have in your toolbox.

I believe everything will trend to zero against bitcoin. It’s hard for me to believe that 50+ years from now Monery, ZEC, dash etc will be around doing anything useful for anyone.

If one can do private transactions on Bitcoin side chain, Liquid, why use Monero, etc?

Ilegal darknet markets. Nothing else. Liquid is not 100% private, private enough for majority of "normal" people, but not for the extreme ones.

I'd say "privacy enough for the majority of normal people" is the target market!

The majority of "normal" people don't care about privacy at all though

When SHTF normies will suddenly realize how important privacy is. But by then, it'll be too late for them, because becoming good in protecting your privacy takes time and effort.

Liquid is still linked. Unannounced LN channels are good enough privacy IMO

People using these coins shouldn't be buying them on CEX's. They are meant to be P2P

I think they'll be around for some time, since there are people who find some use for them, I guess. Delistings will probably reinforce decentralized p2p exchanges.
Personally, I don't case about any of them. I like PoW transparency at the base layer and having privacy options on top of it, like coinjoins or MWEB on Litecoin; or built in other layers, like confidential transactions on Liquid.

well monero has been a great coin supporting privacy buti think in the long term just other scam coin started to rise like ftx and so on which left it behind since some people never appreciate the usage of such coin as monero but either got dripped on the fiate value that which the coins scam sometims get fro the hype i suppose. but still privacy shouldnt be downgraded
