Comparing the two will not be the absolute right thing to do in my own opinion although their algorithm or infrastructure that they are both backed with as being illustrated by op but while op has been with us for a long while and have come to be accepted by the generality of people in the crypto-world unlike Zcash that is just trying to find a feet in this world but hopefully the dream of the developers can be achieved but its going to be a going process...

Zcash will bow to Bitcoin any day because they failed to address the problems or limitations of Bitcoin and why would I throw away the original for a replica? Mind you most of these Altcoins are a fork of Bitcoin core.

I guess if there were some other coin that will replace bitcoin out there, it wouldn't be zcash. Do not suspect that it will even grow like bitcoin. It is really possible that there would be another currency to grow in demand that would go on par with bitcoin or dethrone it, but it wouldn't be zcash I repeat again since even if it is good to use and it offers anonymity, there are many more currencies out there better than it that I think might go on par with bitcoin.

I do not think that these two currencies will work together without any problem. With that establishment there will be a lot of economic issues to us. By the way it is not possible for zcash that it increase u to the level that it replace bitcoin or stan the same as bitcoin because it is only the traders who are relying on zcash for their profit while not much market is adopting it for ther business.

Bitcoin has been proven already to be a good long term investment while ZCash is just new altcoins, which is better? Of course we should go with a more stable one, and that is bitcoin. Zcash still has so much to prove, it is not the value that is the basis but most important is the trust of the people.
Certainly, it is not right to compare zcash to bitcoin because they have really huge difference. Bitcoin was already accepted in the market. It can be use wether legal or illegal. Although they both have that security features which is great, Bitcoin will be still be used because it is trusted coin that keeps the anonymity of its users. However, I think in the future, zcash can take over Bitcoin if it can survive market problems which Bitcon had already done.

What did I just read ? You okay pal? Why would bitcoins and zcash work together ? Did satoshi secretly started a joint venture or something ? Not that I'm aware of,at-least their github doesn't say that.And Yeah I like stan.

Asking this question is like choosing between a sport car and a bike. This is such a "common sense" kind of question. Of course, most of us will choose bitcoin since it is stable and bitcoin already prove that it is a great kind of investment which can give a lot of benefit for us, One of them are profit and security. Zcash is just like a waste for me since it just a kind of hype and i'm not interested to risk my money or bitcoins on that altcoin.

Do you think there is room for two currencies to grow in demand, shrink in supply exponentially? Will they cut into each other's market share?
Bitcoin has been proven and can be divided into tiny fractions, given the fact it is working it seems a safe bet for the future. It has failures, though. From an economic standpoint, if zcash replaces it in underground markets, will bitcoins legal uses keep its demand high? Will it continue to grow from speculation?
Bitcoin isn't private, tumbling it has huge risks and the end user has lots of security demands to remain anonymous. It may not be the best for underground uses whcih may have an economic impact. zcash is bitcoin but with its flaws ironed out.I do suspect it will grow like bitcoin but I'm interested in the dynamics.
Thoughts?
well believe it or not majority of people who are using cryptocurrencies are not looking for using them in underground dark corners of the internet! it has always been mostly for investment and then for a decentralized cash that they can use online without the hassle of the banks. and bitcoin offers more than enough privacy and anonymity to all these users. and none of them even have to use a mixer, or even if they do they reach a higher level of privacy without any problems.

Whatever altcoin will come or be invented I would not change bitcoin for anything else so I would choose bitcoin instead of Zcash. Zcash is a new coin, maybe has a good potential to grow since they seems to be more anonymous than bitcoin, same with monero.

I agree with bro. I trust bitcoin and many people also trust . zcash is new altcoin and little market only while bitcoin have large market now. Yes is not the value the trust of many people is the very important of that. Bitcoin have proven and zcash will starter only a little month I think correct me if I'm wrong . bitcoin is the original it cannot replace it for long time . Bitcoin will become popular everyear and many countries accept the bitcoin. So please don't compare the bitcoin to zcash.

obviously bitcoin and i have simple reason why i choose bitcoin because bitcoin has proof that could live more than 7 years and Zcash even still not reach for 1 year after launched and if you save bitcoin and Zcash for next 5 years then which coin would more valuable and i think majority answers will says bitcoin more valuable

Shall not forget that many solutions are developing to make completely anonymous Bitcoin which will allow competitions like Dash and Monero. And is only a matter of months or years. You need a consensus, what's going to be complicated for Bitcoin. Where are Segwit?

There is no place for fully anonymous coin with integrated tumbler. Authorities can't and won't allow that. Ponder for a while, what is, or should be the main goal of every cryptocurrency? That is right, to be used by larger number of people. Total adoption, filling out the niche, what niche will Zcash fill? It will be great tool if you want to buy something from dark market. I am afraid that zcash adoption will be hindered and eventually stopped by legal issues. Just wait for it. There is no need to touch zcash now as the coin with 21 million market cap is insignificant.

I was thinking about, Bitcoin vs Zcash, the Original vs Copy cat. We already know that zcash is a copy cat of bitcoin. And of course, I still go for bitcoin has been established for so many years, compare to zcash, and the communities and the advertising company adopting it too. Meaning, Bitcoin is much more stronger than it.

Bitcoin is the obvious choice people, there aren't any argument; it's more stable and versatile than its fork which is the Zcash which sort to address some of Bitcoins challenges but failed miserably. I doubt if we were to organize a poll as to what to invest in for a year anybody would choose Zcash ahead of Bitcoin, never!

Shitcoin after shitcoin will come and go but a few will actually solve some issues people have with bitcoin, namely the anonymity. There are lots of other currencies that are anonymous so I don't see why you're focused on zcash, unless this is just a poor attempt to advertise it.
Really how can be bitcoin even equal to Zcash. Nothing can be compare to bitcoin not any Altcoin or any other service. Such attempts wont even make this shitcoins popular rather people will feel pity for zcash or any other coins as everyone knows nothing in cryptoworld is comparable to bitcoins.

Bitcoin will always be the best choice in crypto currency. It will always be the conqueror because will always choose bitcoin instead of other coins. If we are going to base the coin marketcap. Its obvious that bitcoin is the leading among other altcoins such as zcash.

Come on man zcash is new currency it's not even a year old. Even though it may claim to have better features than bitcoin but how can you trust it , there are so many coins coming daily and they end uo scamming people like the recent case of one coin. Even though many people mine it and are getting good results but I don't trust the currency and also you are comparing it with the best one out there which makes no sense.

Anonymous coins are ideal for everyone, not just for those on the dark markets. For example, if you pay your landlord in BTC, they can see how much BTC that account has, and if there's a large amount, they could think you could afford to pay more rent, and charge you more rent. This happens now when landlords require a paystub. If you make more, they charge you more. Or if you used BTC to give money to a charity or to a political cause, that could be used against you by your employer, acquaintances, etc. WIth Monero, there is no risk in any of those cases since it's private and transaction amounts are not visible on the blockchain. The amount of money you have, and who you choose to give it to is also private. Additionally, BTC has fungibility problems that can't go away. This means that some BTC is not worth what other BTC is. Coinbase and other exchanges have denied or even frozen BTC since those BTC were used in the past for purposed deemed by them to be unacceptable. Now those coins are worth less than others. Andreas Antonopoulos, a former Bitcoin Core developer, acknowledges the Bitcoin fungibility problem in a YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ak1iojpiHpM&feature=youtu.be&t=33m9s Since Monero is completely private, it is completely fungible. This scenario can't happen with Monero. Private money is in everyone's best interest. BTC is great for businesses where transparency is either desired or required. But for personal use, I don't want people with access to the blockchain (everyone) to see where or how I spend money or how much (or little) money I have.
