I threw $250k at ZEC's private send feature the other day to see how it performs in real trading conditions. The slippage came in at 70 basis points—honestly not terrible. But here's where it gets wild: price volatility hit an absolutely insane 1,789,235 bips. That kind of fluctuation completely overshadows the slippage issue.

There's clearly a straightforward fix for this, something nobody's really tackled properly yet. When you're dealing with privacy-focused coins like ZEC, the mechanics need to account for this kind of volatility. Right now it's just rough around the edges.

250,000 invested in ZEC privacy features, a slippage of only 70bps is nothing. The real terrifying part is the wave of 1,789,235 bips fluctuation, directly pressed to the ground and rubbed.

A $250,000 investment causes volatility to spike instantly. Who can withstand this?

Putting 250,000 in just to test the slippage? As for the volatility... Oh my god, it's skyrocketing.

ngl, dropping 250,000 dollars just to see some data, this guy is really ruthless... But that fluctuation of 1,789,235 bips is indeed outrageous, and a 70bp slippage is considered a small case.

Try investing 250,000 dollars? This guy really dares to do it. A slippage of only 70bps is quite good... But the volatility number is outrageous, completely eating up all the advantages.

ngl that volatility number screams manipulation to me... 1.7m bips? that's not natural price discovery, that's a dark forest getting raided. someone's definitely extracting value in the privacy shadows
