Zcash (ZEC) is gaining attention for its alignment with the cypherpunk ethos and potential to provide financial sovereignty through private transactions. There is growing interest from the Solana community, with many seeing the importance of strong privacy features. ZEC is being promoted as a way to achieve financial freedom, with users encouraged to hold the coin and use private communication tools like Signal and Nym.

"my answer to why zcash can't be copied (even if you somehow manage to bootstrap a $1bn+ shielded pool and a mission driven group of world class cryptographers) "firstly what you can't copy is the proof of work distribution over XX years. with no premine with no ICO with XX years of down only with miners having to sell all the time secondly it's very difficult to get a social layer that has people that have lived through the cypherpunk era in the 1980s in the 1990s when they had to stand up to the government when they had to risk prison to defend cryptography that sort of culture and"

"people love to fud the long term zec price graph but what they miss is that zec launched with no premine or ico so the circulating supply at the moment of launch was effectively X% early rewards were deliberately tiny due to a slow-start mining design -- they ramped up linearly to XXXX ZEC by block 20000 (i.e. XX days in) some people paid a great deal for those initial zec in part for historical/provenance reasons and in part because they were extremely excited. if supply is very low and demand is relatively higher then you have a price squeeze if you look closely at the mcap graph instead"
