You’re not necessarily spending ZCash. Gemini is buying you’re ZCash in the back end and allowing you to use the cash to make the purchase you’re trying to make. The retailer doesn’t even know you’re using crypto to make the purchase, it comes up as a gift card or something similar when you scan.

i’m okay with that! belong to team hoard, so i won’t be spending my precious zcash, but now it’s an option. i do shop at some of the retailers that accept flexa. it’s like bitpay for zcash. that’s very rare for altcoins, and extremely bullish.

Personally I’d be ok with this.
I know you guys won’t like this post but it just happened: 0.0065 BTC. Too lazy to dig out the post i mentioned the first time we will hit 0.0065 BTC, but should be around 9-10 months ago.
Next prediction for the books: 0.005 - 0.0055 BTC bevor end of the year … Sorry guys, no good news here.

Ok, this joke was fun once, but i don’t see any reason or fun why it should be fun or right since than to try to put the stamp of a life-time banned user on me…
My posts fit perfectly the thread topic 
Sorry mate, but i didn’t flag the first 5 AL888 “branding” jokes, but come one, enough is enough. No bad feelings and if you use words like replacement for AL888 or something like that it’s ok as well, i can live with that, but having slowly but surely the brand of a banned user for life time and suggesting i’am the same is not that ok if we have in mind that not everybody (especially newer forum members) get the joke at all.
Sorry mate, would indeed have been the better option toPM yu actually after thinking about it 10 minutes later, but i indeed felt offended and sometimes you do things that aren’t the best choice than, agreed 
Thought first to PM you this but i have no problems to excuse myself in public either. Let’s forget it, ok?

If you are so negative on both price action and fundamentals of Zcash, why spend so much time here and help Zcash improve with your comments?
Actions speak louder than words…you are waiting for your scoop up moment…
For the record, I don’t think that’s fair. ECC has done a lot: https://electriccoin.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Timeline-FINAL.pdf

Not sure what happened here, but I’m glad you two resolved it amicably? As far as I can tell?

And where are the forecasts in this topic?
KEK himself did not write them in the first post, and the following ones are not visible.
$ 1,500 in February 2020. Fine? I can write more
1.) My personal price predictions are based on my calculations, formulas, analysis and often simple mathematics. It’s not about wishing and dreaming. Would it make you feel better if i post that in 3 days the BTC/ZEC exchange rate is 1:1 just to realize in 3 days that this was total nonsens?
2.) I’am not negative about the fundamentals on Zcash. You won’t find a single word on any of my post that the Zcash privacy tech is bad. It’s the best one actually. But does this automaticly mean that everything around it is top as well and that there is no place for mistakes, wrong designs, wrong decisions, wrong setups and/or improvements?
Because it’s one of the projects with the most potential, at least i still think this holds true for now. This might change at some point, but as long as i think Zcash has a good chance to become the privacy leader coin i will try to help improve it and share my thoughts what i think is right or wrong.
Actually i’am absolute honest here and if you followed my posts in this thread you know that i do NOT hold any ZEC anymore for about 10 months as i believed 110% in my prediction and exchanged most into BTC, no matter i don’t like BTC, it’s a financial decision. And i didn’t hide that i might consider a stake just again when we hit 0.0065. Today we are allready at 0.0064 and as i again believe in my own prediction that we hit 0.005-0.0055 BTC latest at the end of the year it would be foolish to buy now. Again, my holdings are mostly in BTC, the guys & girls that buy in in US$ or fiat may have other requirements for their decisions.
You don’t have to like my posts, that’s ok, but at least i’am honest and straight about what in my opinion will happen in a given time frame. Sure, all these 300 at end of the month, US 600 in 3 months really sound good, the problem is they just become true. It’s not my vault that we hit 0.0064, i just saw it coming.

Pretty sure there have been made a lot of forecasts from some members, will see if i can find some with my morning tea 
26 days ago …
Interesting one, too bad it won’t happen either, this halving won’t have any effect if demand isn’t increased heavyly.
I guess this was an ironical one …
Not for long as it turned out …
uhmmm, didn’t happen either, obviously…
Lol…
from May 29th …
From May 28th …
Due this chart we should be around $160 today, missed only by $100, lol.
From May 17th, seems it turned out to be a very bad advice …
The $400 in October won’t happen either …
Seems i missed that even more bearish than my view than back …
Actually this one isn’t too bad, we hit $114 for a very short time in June, and went down in July from $102 to $66 means the average isn’t too far away from the $80-$90 mark. The december $500 one is ambitous in my opinion, time will show…
from 6th and 9th January, Lol
obviously this didn’t happen, from January 21st…
Another ambitious one for the future …
So you see, there are a lot of predictions and opinions in this thread and i even didn’t scan the price speculation thread…

think you’re going to be surprised at zcash performance once we enter full bull mode. enjoy your time poking people with your stick, because you’re going to receive what you give. nice call on ZEC/BTC, BTW
this is also a playground for bulls. you’re going to get bullish predictions in this thread.
I mean about the name of the topic. radically to the moon and forecasts in the same direction. This topic is not a prediction of the real price but just a forecast of what price may be at the maximum
I think in a speculation thread(s) like this or the price speculation thread there are no guidelines at all. Someone is, and even should be free to post whatever he wants and what his view is, be it $100,000 in 1 year or $1 in 2 days predictions/wishes/dreams/hopes/analysis/charts/calculations/whatever …
I personally think this is absollutly ok in such threads, but so should be counter posts to a given prediction/view. But that’s just my opinion. And that there is some poking btw. the bearlish & bullish fronts is acceptable as well in my opinion, would be too boring without it, lol.
But that’s just my personal view, others might have totally different views.
It won’t surprise me actually, i still think Zcash has the potential for a good performance in some years, but there are as well dangers and scenarios that things won’t work out as wished and planned.
For example i was just beginning to make some calculations and analysis how a possible renewed dev fund at 20% could absolutly counter the halving effect and even lead to more sell pressure than now. But i have to make more calculations on this as i just yesterday tonight came to this conclusion that this would be a very possible scenario to happen. Just as an example.
I’am fine with this. I think it would be absolutly boring if we had only bullish or only bearish views.

currently zcash is not a get-rich-quick. period. this year was small opportunity pre zcon1/blockchain week time. but btc cannibalized all other decent alts in a hard way. its a reality. backfire from 2k18 when many alts piggybacked on declining bitcoin’s back. so imho “moonmission” chance for zec is postponed till nu4. no, i dont mean that till then will be permanent decline only. or may not be any alt boom. but safe target - 1+ year from now. meanwhile, if you believe in zcash’ future - slowly accumulate/dca and run a fullnode. you have plenty of time and its much more affordable then before if you mind to risk with a part of your bitcoin stash. this can play out much better then constant redrawing of falling wedges with dream breakouts.
I’m still confident in this prediction…we’ll likely never dip below the c leg. we could consolidate here for much longer and my prediction will still hold. I also never specified a date. I could have been more conservative around the 118-140 range. More importantly your ignorance shines through here mainly because this chart ive posted is actually bearish harmonic pattern with the trader selling on the d completion.
To summarize:
- We’ll likely never go below 40 USD
- I never specified a date or time in which the price would take off
- This is a bearish harmonic ( Bullish, Bearish Cypher Patterns - Forex Opportunities)
- I guess you constructed a straw-man argument? (lol?)
