I think this one will fit better: “So close, yet so far …”
or “Got the cheese but at what price …”

Absolutly agree, thinking the last weeks/months about it i have a feeling Zcash has something common with Nikola Tesla: Lot’s of funding/sponsors/investors, lot of ideas but, inventions ahead of the time and zero marketing skills…
or Netscape: Nice team than back, ambitous, perfect coders, skyrocked first and than … back to the ground …

Yes, but this pic is the 2nd mouse at the 2nd trap…
At the 1st trap the 2nd mouse waited too long and the cheese wasn’t anymore good enough even for a veryyyyyyyy hungry mouse, so the mouse (2nd one) just went to the next freshhhhhhh cheese …

welp, looks like zcash just joined the small elite group of coins in the negative on the year (as of now only 26 out of the top 100 are red) 
if a person knew nothing about cryptocurrency; based their investment off nothing more than a dart toss; they’d have a better chance at buying a coin in the green than red. actually, pretty amazing lol

if Bithumb ever had more than 1 trader at all, lol.
somewhat agree. this is a confidence game. wouldn’t hurt for ECC/foundation folks to come say hello from time-to-time. prolonged silence makes ECC/foundation people seem disconnected from community.
i’m curious if we get to vote on new foundation members. i truly believe there needs to be a shake-up at the foundation.
imagine ECC’s very busy, so i do understand ECC folks not communicating as often, but still seems a bit aloof.
here’s an example how ECC/or foundation communications can be helpful with building confidence:
why are you excited about supersonic SHARKs @zooko?
just a little blog post, or forum post can go a long way.

The fun part is timing it. When BTCs pump starts to fade alts dump hard, thats when you load up.
I’m actually enjoying this.

we’ve almost been through the complete cycle. we’ve dumped hard, been through extensive accumulation, and completed a test pump. next step before a leg-up would be a final bloodletting to shake out remaining loose chips.

Wouldn’t be surprised if we hit $50 again before things turn around, but yeah, either ride it out, cash out & grumble, or play the game.

This is the scene in braveheart hold hold hold hold!!!
couple things i’m thinking:
do believe zcash will need some type of announcement/catalyst to break current malaise.
worst case scenario (no news):
large investors like to trade in 12-18 month timeframes (taxes). with ZEC halving in october 2020 smart money will be moving in around august 2019 (with a little marketing we might be able to attract investors that just participated in LTC halving event in august 2019).
bitcoin markets have changed with institutional money publicly moving in. notice the smart money already moved in - in anticipation for BTC 2020 halving. it’s probably a bad idea to trade anything against BTC.
