Analyst: Native Bitcoin Privacy Could Weaken ZEC and Monero

  • —Paper proposes private transactions on Bitcoin L1 without a soft fork
  • —Privacy would become a native feature rather than a separate layer
  • —Darkfost says the idea aligns with Satoshi's original vision
  • —Zcash and Monero risk losing their main differentiator
Why it matters: If Bitcoin gains native privacy, demand for dedicated privacy coins such as ZEC and XMR could fall sharply.
