been dumping ZEC pretty steady
barry’s investment trusts have probably been creamed this year lol
What makes you think that ?
I know off topic, but man man, if they do so …
This would be a big bummer for the whole space in my opinion.
A lot of megalomaniacs, idiots and cowards in crypto it seems. How long until they make up an excuse to attack Zcash since it forked off of Bitcoin? We need to get Harmony mining out as soon as possible. If ASIC’s are used to attack ZEC then ZcashCo can just raise the GPU percentage.
Zcash didnt fork off Bitcoin, otherwise all Bitcoin holders would have received Zcash

ZCash uses the Bitcoin sourcecode but it is not a fork as @Trololino has stated. It’s essentially no different from BTC when you send ZEC from t to t addresses. However, the real difference is when you use it in shielded transactions…then you can sit back and enjoy some truly private transactions. This true privacy is why ZEC is the only crypto that matters.

Jeps, your right there. And like I said, off topic. But it’s more how hostile the space is getting. Destroying coins because they have Bitcoin in their name ? And maybe a little on topic, the ongoing hashwar between ABC and SV could get to us too. ( Tinfoilhad mode on ) Bitmain is 1 of the parties involved in the war, the list I posted a while ago showed us they sold lots of Bitcoin and bought back Bitcoincash. What if they mined Zcash with their Asics before they sold them ( the Asics that is ) they build up a lot Zec, if they sell those, that will affect the price. They gonna sell I guess to fund their dumb war. ( Tinfoil had off )
What will Roger Ferr do ? Also a big Zec investor. So one way or the other, it will affect Zec and the whole Cryptho Space, and that last point concerns me, it will make the step for " normal " people to get into the space bigger then it already is. But he, just my 3 cents
Sorry, I meant used their code and not forked, the only difference being miners defecting from an existing blockchain and not starting a new one from scratch with existing code.
While this is for sure a concern another one is the mining pool issues and this actually concerns me a lot more.
Reading the article you posted about a mining pool attacking various cryptos with intention shows us clearly how much power a mining pool has or can get and how this power can be used for bad actions as well.
Damn, such mining pools even get rewarded for destroying a given currency.
Having in mind that each currency has at most 5 big mining pools, most often even less we should realize what danger comes from them. Even more, obviously mining pools can be influenced and/or just bought to whomever pays enough. I think this problem/danger is so far way underestimated …

twitter NPCs are mad they’re NPCs. this fella obviously has done 0 research. large portion of the population has no internal monologue. it’s science. that’s why twitter, corporate news propaganda, etc can be dangerous. especially dangerous since most the people that can explain this have been b& from twitter. doesn’t really matter, tho …people that do understand this have a leg-up on their competition that don’t understand the NPC meme. you’ll really start to learn how people are controlled. a lot simply do not have the ability to question authority. they’re not dumb, it’s just how they’re wired, and people take advantage of it.
one reason twitter’s becoming dangerous is twitter’s become a narrative machine. with dissenting voices permanently b& from twitter; there’s no one left to question incorrect narratives. NPCs don’t question narratives, and usually don’t care enough to research whose narratives they’re ingesting. often times those narratives are hatched by government/corporate entities that view different peoples as nothing more than interchangeable monetary units. oh well, happy thanksgiving!

Solid line is avg transaction value, shaded is price usd, red btc, purple ethereum, maroon Zcash
It spikes but current avg looks like btc -3k, eth -200, zec +400 (it splits from the pattern in feb looks like) not sure the percentages looks like - 60% for btc and eth, +300% for Zec maybe
With dots
A thought, z-addr transactions encrypt the value so that’ll distort those numbers?

Yea but wouldn’t it decrease ya think?
Also like I said, most transactions occur on exchanges where personal privacy doesn’t extend past pseudoanonymity
Also the transaction count isnt hidden
changing average transaction value to exchange volume doesn’t really make it look much different
Coinbase txs are ommited
I guess its 40$ Zcash soon
