I cannot help myself but share some high quality sources for those who want to read more and have an objective understanding of why Grin is such a magical, fair, fungible, scalable and privacy preserving coin. Read the following two post, they are the fasted and most intuitive way to go down the rabbit-hole 🐰 🕳 . → Comparing scalability and privacy of Bitcoin, Grin, Monero and Zcash and other privacy projects [[Read me](https://forum.grin.mw/t/scalability-vs-privacy-chart/8114)] → By defining what Grin is not … you will soon understand what Grin is all about 💊 [[Read me](https://github.com/mimblewimble/docs/wiki/No-this,-no-that)] Find below a meme I made myself which visually shows how minimal the footprint is of a historic Grin transaction is compared to historic transactions of other privacy coins. In grin when a transaction is spend, the blockchain can forget about the transaction, only a very small kernel is left of around ~100 bytes on the blockchain. That ~100 byte footprint ~~is not even needed to validate the current state of the blockchain and~~ is even less than a Bitcoin Pay to Taproot transaction (P2TR) which is ~130 bytes. ![grin monero zcash historic transaction size](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/grin/original/2X/4/435ee3c6f0c74ac1cc633bbf4bc3d9e33101fb6f.jpeg) --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.grin.mw/t/grin-is-the-best-privacy-coin/12175)._
