Comparing Reasonably Private Spends in Bitcoin, Monero, and Zcash

Hi all,

I kicked off my own personal blog today, and in my first post I’m taking a look at comparing “reasonably private” spends between Bitcoin, Monero, and Zcash:

This is hopefully the first of many blog posts, but has been something I’ve wanted to kick off for a while, and this topic had been popular among my Twitter followers, and is a comparison that I constantly see being made in an unfavorable light towards Monero (falsely, as you’ll see in the post).

I’d love any feedback you all have, and hopefully this is an insightful look into transaction costs, sizes, and throughput across three distinct networks!

If you have any other topics that you’d like to see me dig into, please drop me a line here, on Twitter, or on Keybase.

Thanks!
