Many beginners think privacy coins are a bit shady, but actually, they just haven't been burned on-chain.



Anyone who has traded knows that surviving on the chain requires passing four hurdles:

Information gap—being front-run by a second—trading strategies are transparent in the mempool, opponents can see every step you take; full disclosure of holdings—address balances, purchase records, and investment portfolios are all visible, privacy is completely lost; every operation is targeted—MEV mechanisms allow miners and arbitrageurs to siphon off your trades; asset scale is under surveillance—net worth exposure invites lending risks and targeted attacks.

Is this some criminal demand? No, these are basic on-chain survival rules. Veteran players are using privacy solutions to protect their positions. Protocols like 0xMiden address these everyday pain points. It’s not about doing bad things, but about not being eaten alive.

Alright, alright, there's nothing wrong with what you're saying. I'm just among those who have suffered losses. How many times have I been sniped by MEV? Every time I just want to smash the screen. Privacy coins are indeed not some black technology; they're just defensive measures. Want to try 0xMiden? I heard that some people find it quite user-friendly.

Well said. Only after being exploited by vampire miners do you understand the appeal of privacy coins.

It's true, on-chain transparency is a form of slow death. --- MEV vampires are really top-notch; we're always being cut. --- Newbies are still debating whether privacy coins are legal, seasoned users have already been using them. --- Those who don't use privacy solutions are really fools. --- This is the real reason for the existence of privacy coins, not for money laundering. --- Running naked on the chain won't last long. --- Those who understand, understand. No more words. --- The mempool already lost at that moment. --- The frontrunning mechanism drove me to start using privacy protocols. --- The term "market protection" is used brilliantly.

After losing heavily a few times to MEV, I understand that privacy coins are not evil at all; they are simply essential for survival.

That's right, only now realizing that privacy is not some black technology demand, just basic defense. Being exploited by MEV so many times, and still not using privacy solutions, serves you right. 0xMiden definitely has some substance, at least no longer being constantly monitored.
