Which is better for long-term use — Monero or Zcash?

[cryptoenthusiast]

The answer depends on what you value most. Monero is better suited for users who want strong, default privacy with minimal trust assumptions and are willing to accept regulatory friction and fewer exchange options.

Zcash may appeal to users who want cutting-edge cryptography, optional privacy, and easier integration with existing financial systems. In the long run, both serve different roles in the privacy landscape, and their coexistence reflects the trade-off between absolute privacy and broader adoption.
