	Right. And if we look at the ranking of cryptocurrencies we can find Monero at around  position 35/40. It used to be #10 or so not long ago. But currently the value of Monero is less than 1/6 of a stupid joke like dogshitcoin, aka 'dogecoin'. 

	zcash is number 70...

	That's certainly a problem for things like bitcoin, eth, and even monero, because of 'proof of work'. Then we have 'proof of stake' where the value of the network is 'secured' by...the value of he network, which looks like a scam of sorts and probably allows more more centralization than proof of work. But yeah, so far all the systems have serious limitations.
