How about you compare Monero and Zcash, which is the second most popular privacy coin. What is the difference? Privacy is the upcoming battlefield for cryptocurrency, and if you don't believe, you should spend some time educating yourself on fungibility and kyc/aml regs.
also, you are also only zoomed in 2019. Why don't you pull it back in the long term. And then tell me which cryptos have shown long term fundamental growth, and which coins are just riding pump and dumps.
