And again, folks confuse "use of technology" with "use of the coin".
The articles clearly state that JP Morgan is planning to integrate/in process of integrating some of the ZEC *TECHNOLOGY* into their own blockchain-based platform - which will NOT use ZEC the coin.
This is a LOT more clear-cut based on what the articles SAY as opposed to the confusion of "Ripple Technology" vs the use of XRP the coin.
But yes, the spike DOES appear to be based on that news - and it's good for us miners as long as the price stays up, even if the reason is wrong. 8-)
The reason is not wrong. The Team stands behind the coin and the technology. Good PR for the team is good PR for zcash.
