It was in 2017 when privacy crypto coins like Monero (XMR) and DASH rose to their highest prices. By the end of the year, XMR was nearing US$ 500 while Dash went on to almost hit the US$ 1650 mark. After a very short while, these privacy crypto coins fell by 92% and 96% respectively. While it was widely assumed that privacy coins have lost their position in the market, reports in early 2020 have indicated otherwise. In the past seven days, XMR has shown a positive 10% rise whereas DASH jumped up by 140% from US$ 52 to US$125.
