I think a more proper comparison would be to look at the cryptos that forked and didn’t fork when ASIC’s starting mining on their networks.
@boxalex - his thread is useful:
I’m not convinced ASIC’s were not part of the reason, but I have not done a proper analysis. However, BTG has fared better than ZCash during this slaughter period we’re in now. ZER is faring well, too. Aion not so much. XSG is actually gaining value, and ZEL is holding on. BCI is flat, but no one is trading it.
I think the matter needs more investigation and careful analysis to make any claim about ASICs vis a vis price influence.
