""Zcash is just a testnet for Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Also testnets offer no incentives to break because the folks finding critical bugs will not be able to make money. So fewer hackers will care to look at the code. Testnets also don't offer any market information. Everyone using a testnet is a dev who most likely uses command line. None of these guys knows how much market demand there is"

I bought some ZEC a year ago at $XX Now I'm excited to see that I was right: my fundamental analysis turned out to be correct and I should have bought more I just wish more people would see that Zcash built the tech that can make Bitcoin private starting from the 2013 Zerocash soft fork which has since been refined and perfected to remove the trusted setup and scale. But the culture changed so much that Bitcoin consists of lazy morons who look at a price chart and say "no it's a shitcoin. If this was any good the price would pump"."
