Is Zcash worth to invest in it?

[Vasetar]

This is very unlikely. If this technology achieves this level of success, it will be only a matter of time before someone implements it in a Bitcoin sidechain.

Yeah. Since Zcash is just a clone from Bitcoin, with the addition of Zero Knowledge Proofs, it can easily be ported into the pioneer cryptocurrency itself. So, implementing it into a sidechain would be ideal to reduce load from the main net.

When this becomes achieved, people will use Bitcoin more than ZCash, due to the privacy features, as well as being the top cryptocurrency in market cap.

Nevertheless, anything is possible in crypto land, and it should only be a matter of time before ZEC remains as the top Zero Knowledge proof cryptocurrency, or another one takes the lead.

We were just talking in a thread to promise that the cash was going to $1,000, LOL. Zcash is garbage it always was garbage and it's always going to be garbage the development team has nothing has no coding experience and all they did was clone a coin flip a few numbers in it changed a little bit in the coding and then put it out there like it's some kind of new special thing. If garbage is new well then I guess it is new.

You do have a point there, mate. ZCash is basically Bitcoin with a few tweaks such as ZK-SNARKs and founder's reward. Given that it has the same codebase as the pioneer cryptocurrency, its features can become easily implemented into Bitcoin itself.

If Bitcoin adopts this technology, then ZEC may lose its value since people would prefer to use the top and most popular cryptocurrency to secure their transactions. Add to this the upcoming smart contracts feature for Bitcoin provided by Rootstock, and the pioneer cryptocurrency will become the biggest blockchain ecosystem in the world.

With this in mind, ZEC would have a hard time to reach its original price levels, unless something new and exciting comes up for it. Just my thoughts

If the bitcoin adopts that technology, it might not be used by main stream users. So I think ZEC position is still secure.

Maybe. It would be a matter of choice, if people decide to use more ZEC with its privacy features, or stay with Bitcoin. The pioneer cryptocurrency may gain better traction if it manages to adopt ZEC's privacy technology, but I believe that ZEC will remain in crypto land since it was the original cryptocurrency which brought this idea.

ZEC may be good in its technology and all, but it lacks cross-platform compatibility, and user friendliness which are the keys to any cryptocurrency's success. The dev team for ZEC is real slow, lacking to bring real innovation into the cryptocurrency other than its privacy feature itself. So the only thing that ZCash has which is unique is its privacy feature. Other than that, it is just a Bitcoin clone. Just sharing my thoughts

Some other privacy coins (Verge and Monero) are making some gains too with active communities.  Competition is healthy though.

Yeah. These coins have actively development and community support indeed, but it is only a matter of time, which proves to become the most widely used anon coin in the markets. They all have unique technologies, each with their flaws and advantages making the competition fierce among which becomes the top cryptocurrency in delivering strong anonymity.

But, if Bitcoin manages to integrate privacy into its transactions, then all other anon coins will be left behind, as people would use the pioneer cryptocurrency more for their daily transactions since it is the most prominent one in market cap.

Nevertheless, only time will tell if all these privacy oriented coins like ZCash will have a bright future or not. Just my opinion

[tranle789]

Zcash is very suitable for those who want to invest long term in this altcoin because the altcoin price is currently a very stable price. I think in the future this altcoin will have higher price

[DetectorToken]

It is clearly overvalued and their technology doesn't impress me, I would just invest in Monero instead of ZCASH.

[Kisanaq]

I think it's still good at least for the short term (about 1 year). Things that make Zcash continue to improve is the certainty of developers to continue to provide innovation and simplify the user.

[Edwardbn]

In order to remain equally interchangeable, units of cryptocurrency must be unlinked from their history so that one unit is as good as any other unit. Zcash brings fungibility to cryptocurrency by unlinking shielded coins from their history on the blockchain.

[Smith13c]

In the pre-digital currency world, both individuals and enterprises could justifibly assume that their financial transactions would be kept confidential. With Zcash, users can enjoy the advantages of using a public blockchain, while still being sure that their private information is protected.

[Robertshc]

Zcash is a decentralized and open-source cryptocurrency that offers privacy and selective transparency of transactions. Zcash payments are published on a public blockchain, but the sender, recipient, and amount of a transaction remain private.
Zcash is based on peer-reviewed cryptographic research, and built by a security-specialized engineering team on an open source platform based on Bitcoin Core's battle-tested codebase. Our improvement over Bitcoin is the addition of privacy. Zcash uses advanced cryptographic techniques, namely zero-knowledge proofs, to guarantee the validity of transactions without revealing additional information about them.

[Higginbotham]

With the plan above, a dream team of investors stepped up to fund the Zcash Company, because they believe in our mission, and in the value of this technology for all kinds of people and industries.
We have closed a $1M funding round with these investors. By acquiring a stake in the Zcash Company, they stand to benefit both from the Founders Reward as well as from the value of any other products that the Zcash Company may create.
I am grateful to them for giving us the opportunity to do this and for the valuable business expertise they are providing.

LOL, are you kidding me =))? One year is long time and can't say it's short term, this is crypto market, not like Gold or Stock, the volatility of crypto market strong and fast than them. So, one year is long term and usually after this time have many change the price of altcoin, example Ethereum, Stratis, Litecoin, Bitcoin ...

[duyduc256]

Zcash is the best altcoin because this altcoin has a lot of potential in the future. I have invested in this altcoin a lot and made a lot of profit. I think at the end of this year Zcash can reach $400

[Abiky]

Maybe. This would happen after the founder's reward period is over. But, if ZCash continues to provide development and innovation at a slow pace, (like it has been doing so now) then I believe that another Zero Knowledge Proof based coin will take the lead, and ZEC will decline in value as it would only serve as a speculative tool.

I think it's still good at least for the short term (about 1 year). Things that make Zcash continue to improve is the certainty of developers to continue to provide innovation and simplify the user.

Yeah. ZCash would be good for investing in the short term, but not to be used as a store of value, since it may decline over time as it lacks true development and innovation. Right now, ZEC is just a clone of BTC's codebase with the only addition of the ZK-SNARK technology. But up to this point, it hasn't managed to release a stable cross-platform GUI wallet for user friendliness, which is key for any cryptocurrency's usability and success.

With this in mind, only tech savvy users will be able to install the ZEC wallet into Linux, and adopt it. The rest of the people who are new into cryptocurrencies will have a hard time trying to figure out how to use the ZEC wallet which is only available for a single platform.

Hopefully, this would change to make the adoption of ZEC easier. But, it is up to businesses and individuals to make use of its underlying privacy technology in the mainstream world, otherwise it won't be able to rise that much over time. Just my opinion.

[TrumpD]

zec isn't offering anything ground breaking as it is and maybe it will go up but what distinguishes it from other altcoins? It's potential isn't really clear, look at Ethereum, you can see clearly what it offers.

[Abiky]

Agree. ZCash offers nothing more than adding an additional layer of privacy over your transactions. Given that it is entirely the same as Bitcoin (supply, and underlying codebase), ZEC is just another Bitcoin clone with an additional feature that could've been implemented into the pioneer cryptocurrency in the first place.

I believe that once Bitcoin adopts Schnorr signatures and confidential transactions, it will further increase its privacy and people may tend to use it more than ZEC itself. But despite the facts, it may be worth watching what lies ahead for ZEC as time goes by, especially after the founder's reward period is over, to see its real value in the market.

All ZCash needs is marketing, promotion, and user friendliness, towards making it a mainstream cryptocurrency. But lacking a cross-platform stable wallet with a GUI, may further limit its ability from gaining traction soon. Just my opinion

I agree with the marketing bit. ZEC need to be used by privacy orientated people.

[nrvasquez]

Yes, I think we can invest with zcash. But lately I'm a bit worried about the price, so I'll advise you to make short-term investments.

[indika]

Since Zcash launch, prices have been around the $1000+ mark, however after a few days the price has gone down, and I think that it will continue to do so for the following days until it reaches the total supply of 21 million coins.

In my own opinion, Zcash has been overvalued, (considering that there have been privacy oriented altcoins before like Monero) and the fact that Zcash does not enforce anonymity by default (unlike Monero), it makes me wonder whenever Zcash would be a good investment or not.

If there is one thing that I don't like about Zcash, is the fact that it is behind a company, as well as having a sort of premine called Founder's reward, which seems kind of fishy to me.

Please let me know what do you think about this. 

yes zcash is over valued now its settled and become a another pump dump coin no real use behind it and actually some group's playing with it,but z cash may go up to 0.15 btc near future i sow some development and interesting news on reddit

[Keihatsu]

isn't the flaw with Zcash that it can't audit the number in circulation.

and too many university employees involved.
