You've already addressed what I pretty much learned today. I was looking at $monero as a potential investment, after making that post funnily enough because I figured it would be the ideal coin for the purpose of hiding money from the taxman, which makes it a very appealing investment. But I also noted it took a serious price hit when one small exchange delisted it after pressure from authorities. That made me worried about the effect if a large exchange delisted it.

I'm unsure about privacy coins at the moment. I think this will be the black market of crypto, which would be a massive market, but it seems risky.
