Is Starkware a threat to Zcash?

I agree strongly PKR. More competition dilutes the pie available to the Zcash network and ZEC holders. I shouldn’t even have to state the obvious, but i will. ZEC holders have been perpetually punished by the market, by the miners who secure & sell, and by the obliged self-funding institutions who have little skin in the game with regard to price per ZEC value accrual. Taking matters further, into the more painful realm, there are situations like this StarkWare investment. StarkWare valuation and overall usage have now run laps around Zcash. Are ECC and their stakeholders benefitting by the success of StarkWare, while ZEC holders continue to watch the capital they put into ZEC bleed away? I’d love to get some answers to these questions also.
