Pre-mined shitcoin, too many whales who got in too cheap, inflation/emission rate was too high when it first mooned.
Nobody got $ZEC for cents, everyone had to work for it.
Completely different.
After 2.25 halvenings, $BTC already ticked 20k, we're speed running that.
Can’t recall another setup like ZEC:
-Almost a decade of chop/widespread distribution
-Parabolic run
-10 months of consolidation
-A massive deleveraging/wipeout 7 months into the consolidation before resuming parabolic advance
This thing has a really strong base.
That was in 2021 btw, the money supply is significantly larger now, there's way more money sloshing around crypto. Probably 12-16x in the near-term.
This is the big one.
Dogecoin ticked 100 billion, with no halvenings, unlimited supply and no ETF.
You don't think we can do at least the same?
8x from here minimum, in the short term.
Don't get shaken out, the opportunity cost will be generational.
$ZEC is going to do to crypto what AI did to the stock market.
Tomorrow morning, all coins are going to be red (idk about ultra smallcaps) because $ZEC is just going to suck all the liquidity out of the market. $850 is a generational buy IMO where's going straight to 3-5k in the near term.
There's never been an ETF for a coin with this small a market cap. Especially a coin this sized with a unique value proposition that no other coin has.
Watch.

Unlike most early bitcoiners, these guys didn’t “retire” and keep shipping code.
Zcashers really are the best bitcoiners.
Looks like we have a sustained Zcash/Bitcoin breakout over 1%.
The longer it holds this the more likely 2-3% arrive.
Money is inherently a speculative asset. Investors look to the market for information constantly.
Investors are probably in a few camps:
1/ unaware
2/ thinking this was a pump and dump as widely miscommunicated by Bitcoin promoters last year and
3/ waiting to see if it crashes
Given there's been no rug pull and no crash, more people will be forced to take this seriously.
The fundamentals are also rock solid. I've met and had chats/drinks with the core Zcash and Bitcoin teams. Both teams are world class.
Zcash chart since late 2025 looks like a tiny fractal of previous Bitcoin bull runs.
Next week a widely rumored ETF launch. Which means a full press tour, media coverage, articles etc.
This is the chart to watch.

Along with the phenomenal result that Zcash has beaten Bitcoin for DCA investors (most investors) since inception.

Next week will be interesting to say the least.
People searching for “the next Zcash” or “the next privacy coin” are just repeating the mistake of people who searched for “the next Bitcoin.”
It won’t be found.
