Many have been talking about privacy in the cryptocurrency sphere. In a latest post by Weiss Rating, it was indicated that

According to Weiss and Villaverde:

“Privacy DLT is a technology that can guarantee the anonymity and privacy of voters, precisely what’s essential for secure, democratic elections. Thus, the same kind of Privacy DLT that Zcash uses for shielding transactions can also be used to create a fast, efficient, anonymous, and secure voting system.”

The pace at which people are embracing privacy coin is alarming. While security experts are of the opinion that privacy coin can serve as an option for criminals online, it is a known fact that privacy is sacrosanct for the fact many a number of individuals are under government’s surveillance.
