Tangle data-structure – The lesser known blockchain alternative

I don't know much about any of the cryptocurrencies beside Bitcoin & Ethereum.

But my interest was initially piqued by IOTA back in 2017. It quickly died when I realized that it didn't prevent double-spends and, critically - at least at the time - it was completely non-functional!

The fact that it was down for 11 days only a few months ago and that it's still somehow worth $3Bn is amusing.

What's really interesting is... From my limited knowledge, Zcash and Monero DO actually work and have use cases being anonymous. Yet they have roughly the same "market cap" as IOTA.

Monero is superior to Z cash. Z cash privacy features are opt in afaik do with zcash you have a smaller anonymity set QED you are easier to identify. because only a small percentage have their privacy settings turned on.

It is not much different from people buying cheap knock-offs of quality brands because they can't see or understand the difference in material or craftsmanship.
