An astonishing loss of 330 million dollars in moments! Imagine suddenly discovering that 3520 Bitcoin have disappeared from your wallet, converting into the privacy currency XMR, which surged in value by 50% after this suspicious transaction.

Internet thieves have become smarter; they rely on privacy currencies like Monero because they are untraceable, making the recovery of stolen funds an impossible task even for professionals.

But the bigger question is: Are privacy currencies beneficial or harmful?

Some people defend them as a shield to protect financial freedoms and individual privacy, while others see them as a dangerous tool exploited by criminals to threaten market stability and launder money.

Their impact on the market is clear: they increase volatility and make regulation more difficult, yet they remain an attractive option for those looking to free themselves from the control of governments and banks.
