at the end of your post, why do you suggest mining ETH or XMR if you are so bullish on ZEC? am I missing something?
btw I tend to agree with your bullish perspective. if ZEC proves itself over time to truly be “Bitcoin 2.0”, there’s no reason not to expect the price to go well past $1,000 per ZEC 2 to 5 years down the road. it could potentially begin chipping away at BTC’s market share.
but I also see a case where ZEC does not ever chip away at BTC but still sees substantial gains regardless. if more of the world jumps onto the crypto bandwagon, the market could just grow as a whole, not necessarily one coin gaining share at the expense of another. BTC has the prevailing “brand” and market cap for the foreseeable future, but that’s not to say ZEC won’t ever see a multi-billion dollar market cap as well someday.
