The whole ZCash launch and price manipulation from the start was sketchy, centralization means market manipulation which means bowing down to your whale market overlords
Coindesk has published an article, speaking positively about Zcash -
http://www.coindesk.com/zcrash-zcashs-price-finding-floor/Coindesk is invested in Zcash. At least they print this disclaimer at the bottom of every article they churn out on Zcash (seems like every other day):
"Disclosure: CoinDesk is a subsidiary of Digital Currency Group, which has an ownership stake in the Zcash development team."
So, they are definitely biased "news."
