Why not both? zCash has great features that fulfill a particular niche (great transaction security). Bitcoin is, well, Bitcoin. It's a little bit ridiculous to choose between the two, nor should you. I hope zCash continues to grow, as coins with superior technology deserve to rise to the top.

We should probably define what the semantics of "good" and "bad" are here. I think the more important debate here is between "order" and "chaos." To me, it seems that technology is facilitating the creation of order in our universe. Technology does have the side effect of increasingly taking us out of the "real world" though. There will soon come a point at which the real world will become obsolete.

1000 BTC can of course be obtained, but you didn't say what your seed capital was. If you are trading with just a couple hundred bucks, just forget about it, and start earning money some other way. If you have a couple of BTC worth maybe it is possible. When picking an altcoin, consider its community and the technology backing the coin. I think of cryptocoins as being "backed" by the technology that drives them, in the sense that money was once backed by gold.

Please don't spread false information if you don't have any confirmed sources. Having said that, however, also don't keep your money on an exchange.

Reading this post makes me think; what exactly is the "appropriate" amount of rights appropriate for a given species of animal?

"Take Over" implies that the market segments are exactly the same. Between BTC and ETH, they're not. By the way, Isn't ETH partially backed by JP Morgan?

The whole point of bitcoin (or any crypto, for that matter) is to have total control of your money. Please consider the unfair business practices of Brick-and-Mortar fiat banks, or from the catastrophes of failed exchanges such as mtgox. Keep your money, don't let others hang onto it, and back it up.
