At some point the market will decouple itself from BTC. It seems like your current investment strategy is heavily reliant on the status quo which doesnt really put you a head of the game at all. I feel like if you are “forced” to hold BTC in the event that a MtGox situation happens or a “flippining”, you are left with a hefty bag.
I can’t take into calculations and predictions if’s and could’s. Until i see a change in creating demand i have to take the current and past demand for such. IF it changes, more than welcome, but until i see a change on the approach that either the inflation rate is changed or the demand increases i just stick with my bearish ZEC/BTC predictions.
As i pesonally can’t see any real game changer incoming at least with the next 2 years and NU’s and with the lack of interest by the ZF and ECC in doing real good marketing i think it’s safe to use current numbers and NOT to expect a real grow in demand. Even not including the weekly new delistings of ZEC with just witness …
Hopefully. I’am all for it, believe me. Bevor i begun to make calculations with inflations and some other factos and used only technical indicators i hoped this might be hopefully either soon. After i realized that the inflation factor might be the very most important one i think there will be a delay and with all the work done for BTC i think it won’t happen the next 9 years. But i have nothing against if it happens sooner, i personally think BTC is good for just nothing other than speculation and temporary just not for losing money due the high inflation of other currencies. That’s it.
But seriously, i’am sure you won’t believe but i can’t wait for the moment ALT’s decouple from BTC, it’s frustrating that BTC has such dominance.
For now it has saved me a lot of losses after i liquidated several currencies with high inflation rate after i finally put an inflation factor into my predictions.
While you are right that always somethink like MtGox or any other bad thing can happen, this is no way limited to BTC, so in my books that’s not an additionally risk i take.
By the way, there are various secenarios where being left with a hefty bag of ZEC could happen as well, just some examples and if cases. If ECC decides to abondon development due less new dev fund, further regulatory problems and exchange delistings and the list goes on and on. But i can’t put really such risks into a calculation and that’s not what i’am building them on, just a side not about your left with a hefty bag note, which in my opinion is not only a BTC option but an option for way more currencies than BTC.

yeah. that’s kinda problem. doesnt matter much who you are, what you do and what you really have, if all the media is mostly overtaken by bitcoin and miriad of completely pointless scamcoins. to support life until global milestones reached even dumb money counts. i somehow understand their longterm position not to promote until next level of ux and performance is reached, but while that happens, much dumb money would be absorbed and burned by pure scams instead of being at least shortime parked in zcash. even if they never gonna actually use it. market isnt growing now and every project is fighting for their cut and nonexisting products raising millions on pure marketing. such strategy could be ok work with serious backing, but in our case, backing is questionable. well, perhaps zteam decided to go that way because they made some conclusions from not very successful early zcash promotion events, but we have what we have. once again, its all just a personal assumptions. maybe its not time yet and they’re brewing something.

fluffy’s still trashing zcash. there must be either good zcash news, or bad monero news that hasn’t been made public yet. https://twitter.com/fluffypony/status/1173957899086942209 kinda funny fluffy’s resorting to commenting on other people’s twitter posts like a crumbsnatcher. this is reaching levels of cringe that shouldn’t be possible.

nice!
I meant to post this like 2 weeks ago, but at the time, the zcash sentiment was at an all time low. I saw like 5 different media outlets post FUD about the ECC and the coin itself. so im not surprised this fluffy dude is joining in on the party albeit late.
Seems like Mr Todd has been quiet lately. Ever since i heard about that whole sexual harassment thing involving him, it made more sense to me why he’s been such ZEC fudder. It was probably personal.

From btc point of view we reached 0.0049
Please pay attention to what I am writing I did not say that Bitcoin will loose its dominant position as a crypto, but that altcoins will regain market cap as compared to BTC. Look at the BTC domiannce chart and you will see that its allready dropping.
Yes and I am well aware of the may timeline for BTC halving, that is why BTC has been gaining value over alts, miners are PARTIALY pricing in the halving. Percentage wise ZECs inflation will drop way more than BTC. And since its market value is MUCH lower than BTC its potential for growth is MUCH higher. It takes much more money to move BTC than it does ZEC.

This is exactly what I was talking about:
Now imagine if a person in a position of power at Microsoft made the same statement about Apple. Apple stating that their devices are regulatory compliant and a Microsoft executive said “LOL hahahaha Apple going to install them backdoors in their devices”. He would be sued so fast that he would be eating those words in a day or two.
The fact is made even worse that the guy is a developer and knows very well that ZECs code can be audited and a backdoor discovered.
