Let's make a deal, Government. You get to do all the surveillance you want, we won't complain. But in exchange you must whitelist homomorphic encryption crypto like DERO (which is 100% anonymous & where no backdoors are possible). You catch terrorists/criminals & we people still have some privacy
My case for a FULLY anonymous coin and smart contract platform: why I believe the destigmatization of anonymity is inevitable, privacy coins will stop being a “shady” niche and the only 100% anonymous L1 out there DERO is primed to outperform. (DERO vs Monero, ZEC, Secret, Eth, ADA also discussed)

I have no idea why you would buy any of these except SUI. You can tell most traders here don't actually use the chains & just target what Reddit shills. Everyone uses Solana, Hyperliquid, and SUI to a smaller degree. Open defilama and look what makes all the money in web3. Things that make money and have all the users generally go up. Almost everything your eyeing is dead or your chasing something that already recently massively pumped like ZEC. It's dead simple to make money in crypto. Buy what people use and what scales revenue instead of buying what Reddit shills all day. Things that disrupt are generally hated. If it's hated by this sub, but people still use it then buy it. Otherwise, no rev & no activity you ignore unless the chain is brand new.
Fuck it might as well hold its not like I’m using leverage worst I can lose is 50$ and I do think that ZEC will probably just keep going up cause the secrecy is a big thing about it that not many coins can provide
I seem to see a that a lot of people believe in TAO, HBAR, and ZEC as the next big altcoin would you agree?
You mean I shouldn’t drop ZEC?
Lmao good point I probably am gonna drop ZEC and Zen soon since they probably did have their run this cycle like other dude said but imma just keep watch for now to see if I can at least break even or just not lose too much off those positions
That makes sense should I just sell wait till it drops and rebuy then, cause it seems like a lot of people believe in the future potential of ZEC
I understand zen but really ZEC?
ZCash (ZEC) - a huge potential by end of year! Simply growing everywhere, especially on social media about Privacy Tokens making a big comeback!
> This space is truly full of mongoloids Litecoin (LTC) is just 2X the price it was 12 years ago in 2013 https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20131204/ ZCASH (ZEC) is 1/2 price today as it was 9 years ago in 2016 https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20161030/ Cardano (ADA) is at the same price today as it was 8 years ago in 2017 https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20171231/ Chainlink (LINK) is at the same price today as it was 5 years ago in 2020 https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20200815/
That's one of BTC's main selling features - the finite supply. Forget for a second that ZEC has the same finite supply. So you're saying tokenomics don't matter? So what does BTC have going for it then?
Reducing the supply is not the full picture. Zcash has the same finite supply as Bitcoin. And look how much ZEC bled against BTC since 2016. 1 BTC is currently worth 428 ZEC.
Maybe a privacy coin like ZEC or DASH.
BNB is crazy coin. I was actually eyeing it when it was 1 dollar, literally. I bought something called OMG instead for 5 figures and lost it all. BNB is 1200 dollars l, 1200x in 8 years and nobody is speaking about this enough. Probably my biggest regret in crypto ever. Same with ZEC, came from shitter back to 28th and 4.4 billion market cap out of nowhere. Wtf is this market.
Only found ZEC at 277$ is that it?
BTC, ETH → The big ones XMR, ZEC → Focus on privacy, which is becoming more and more relevant
Post is by: Proper-Plantain9387 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1o49b4q/while_bitcoin_ethereum_are_going_down_zcash_zec/ Despite minimal media attention but a huge uptick in chatter lately on Social Media, the privacy coin market has outpaced every other sector. The growth has been further propelled by the recent bullish rally in leading privacy tokens. Privacy-focused cryptocurrencies such as ZCash & Monero have continued to grow. According to the latest data from Artemis, the sector has risen 71.6% in 2025, the highest uptick among all crypto sectors. For instance, Zcash (ZEC) has been the standout, surging over 150% in the past week and it reached a three-year high, with a 247% monthly return. The resurgence of interest in privacy tokens has been noted as a "back-to-roots" movement, with market participants gravitating back toward a core tenet of crypto—privacy. Investment activity has been seen from both accredited investors and whales, with some institutional investors exploring privacy-preserving payment systems. Are Privacy-Coins the new thing, and a way to get crypto back in the hands of "The People" and not "The Govt"? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Crazy for ZEC to pump through the crash. Been a while since any crypto done that, these pumpers are serious.
Predictions are for $4-$5 in the next month or so. Looks realistic. Yesterday showed that there were not huge shorts against us, well they would have cleared, and strong momentum to come back to new highs. Once ETF’s start buying more ZEC will be a target for sure.
I'd have to agree with you, I love the price & volume movements of ZCash - especially even after yesterday's market dip, ZEC is still going up.
It's worth looking at ZEC. It recovered to its full price quickly, so not undervalued, but it's been pushing a lot the past week and it's still only 1/4 of ATH.
what i learned is that ZEC is insane. 20% up rebound while everything else is down still. only had a tiny bit in but i bought the dip yesterday so thats nice :)
What’s up with ZEC? Just sold half. Seems insanely pumped.
ZEC being up like 20% on the day is wild

How is ZEC the only thing holding up broo
ZEC and Dash got legs baby. Even Zen
Zoom out all the way to 2016. The chart indicates more than 7 BTC for 1 ZEC. [https://www.tradingview.com/chart/?symbol=BINANCE%3AZECBTC](https://www.tradingview.com/chart/?symbol=BINANCE%3AZECBTC)
ZEC surged so much because its performance has been terrible since 2016. It went up about 300%, but I remember in late 2017 and early 2018 the price was nearly $750 - and if you look back at 2016, it was even crazier! ZEC ATH: $ 5,000.00 (Oct 28, 2016) The ZEC:BTC ratio has been absolutely brutal over time - it peaked around 7 BTC per 1 ZEC in 2016, and today 1 BTC can buy roughly 700 ZEC. So BTC outperformed ZEC by roughly 4,900× from the 2016 peak (when 1 ZEC ≈ 7 BTC) to today (when 1 BTC ≈ 700 ZEC).
Privacy is important. ZEC, XMR & RAIL all with good performance recently.
ZEC & Fartcoin don't have much in common.
ZEC is so good for traders. It gives everyone hope that our bags might wake up some day.
What the hell is fueling this ZEC run?
I love how everyone is excited for btc and 5% moves while entering at +100k. Meanwhile the new upgrades to Zcash make it btc V2 with privacy and its mimicking the early swings of btc. ZEC is what btc wanted to be originally. I mean I'm holding btc but these moves are boring even if it is ath.
you can send your btc to a wallet like Trust wallet and clean swap for xmr there, check out Zcash (ZEC) also.
Exactly. Exchange supply barely tells the story anymore. With DEXs and cross-chain privacy tools, whales can move through a dozen routes before anyone notices. Some even hop into XMR or ZEC, then use privacy DEXs like Houdiniswap to shift chains quietly. Onchain metrics aren’t what they used to be.
It worked well, sold half too soon but I don't regret it. The other half I'll hold long term. I have a thesis these old PoW coins are more legitimate than anything the VCs have done. Zcash really does have the best app with Zashi, now can get paid in anything and have it go to shielded ZEC, or pay in shielded and pay them in their transparent currency. Excited for the future with ZEC. The huge pump will at least make people look and form a thesis. Long term, we'll see if I'm right when ZEC hits $1K (then I'll post back with an actual victory lap). I've never seen a parabolic rise on an old PoW coin \*that\* hard. All the long form work around privacy they've been putting out + the tech + UI paid off with some type of squeeze.
tldr; Bitcoin and the DeFi market experienced a significant recovery, driven by investor interest in safe-haven assets amid economic uncertainties like the US government shutdown. Bitcoin surpassed $120,000 for the first time since August, with analysts predicting a potential rally to $150,000 or higher. Zcash (ZEC) emerged as the week's top performer, gaining over 157%. Meanwhile, centralized exchanges may transition to decentralized finance aggregators within a decade, according to 1inch co-founder Sergej Kunz. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Privacy is key in crypto. ZEC is the most private one
Everyone is changing their money to a private location. I personally changed everything for ZEC
ZEC. It is honestly super under valued for what it has to offer.
tldr; The cryptocurrency market saw a rapid surge, adding $70 billion to its market capitalization in under 30 minutes on October 1. The total market cap rose from $3.87 trillion to $3.94 trillion between 10:25 AM and 10:55 AM CET, and later hovered around $3.95 trillion. This marks a $100 billion increase since the previous day. Privacy coin Zcash (ZEC) was among the top gainers, climbing from the 72nd to the 65th largest crypto with a 40% daily increase. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.
ZEC is not private by default and can be backdoor’d. Not even remotely comparable to Monero.
Convert BTC to ZEC using Near Intents
I want the old dead projects to come back alive one final time. They were so good to me. DGB XVG Dash XMR ZEC NEO ETC GAS
Let me guess, they're gonna go with ZEC?
**$BTC** is still in a short-term downtrend, printing lower highs. Here are coins on my radar for today: **$BIO** Still in a stable, healthy uptrend. **$BB** Very strong yesterday. Each move up corrected slightly before printing a higher top classic healthy trend structure. On pullbacks, this could offer long setups. **$OGN** In tight consolidation. Breakout setup forming watch price action closely for entry opportunities. **$ZEC** Impressive run yesterday. Now in correction phase question is whether it’s just a healthy reset for continuation or the start of steady bleeding.
Flexa is awesome. Theres nothing questionable about the wallet. You can also use the Zashi wallet to spend ZEC or the nexus wallet to spend LTC.
Have you heard of BTCPay Server? You can even set it up to work on a spare laptop or something as basic as a Raspberry Pi. It's basically an open source payments processor which enables you to receive BTC, LTC, XMR, ZEC, and a couple of other coins. What's great is that it offers good user experience, generates a new receiving address for you with every transaction and on the backend keeps pretty good accounting. It's ideal if you're going to freelance for coins. Of course, you can also just run the wallets yourself and send individual addresses to everyone who's about to pay you. Edge wallet is a good place to start, it offers support for lots of coins.
The market is always right, and XMR has 10x the marketshare of ZEC. Everything else is just emotional rambling.
This guy just hosed them in the ZEC forum for anybody who actually cares about this debate. [https://np.reddit.com/r/zec/comments/1mcwm1z/moneros\_ledger\_is\_transparent\_its\_not\_private/](https://np.reddit.com/r/zec/comments/1mcwm1z/moneros_ledger_is_transparent_its_not_private/)
All cypherpunks and anyone who believes in a free world will end up storing value the encrypted ledger. Zcash is the winning play tachyon makes it scale globally. ZEC $50k
Congrats, you’re one of the dumbest people I’ve encountered on the internet. That’s saying a lot! Enjoy your worthless ZEC bag. Make sure you don’t look at the XMR chart, it might make you feel even more broke.
$FIRO if also fungible by default & $ZEC has the option.
Maybe I missed something but the website still mentions ASICs and GPUs.. I like ARRR though, it’s ZEC done right.
I thought ARRR was PoS, no? ZEC is migrating to PoS soon.
How are ZEC and ARRR more energy efficient? They're mined using ASICs.. at least Monero uses general purpose CPUs that you can use for other things as well.
>I'm not sure how sustainable POW consensus will be in the long run and its pretty inefficient for securing the network. Exactly. I love the vision of Monero, but it won't hold up long-term relative to more efficient and more cryptographically sound privacy coins. >Not sure if there are more energy efficent privacy coins out there except Monero? ZEC, PIVX, ARRR, FIRO are some worth looking into.
As a long-term holder of BTC with no intention of selling I have moved away from stacking BTC in favour of stacking hard forks of BTC. The forks will be the next BTC after it becomes unattainable. So, ZEC, LTC and BCH
I think we’re going to have a privacy coin wave at some point as concerns grow about tracking. Monero, ZEC and XVG
tldr; The European Union will enforce new Anti-Money Laundering (AML) rules by 2027, banning anonymous cryptocurrency accounts and privacy tokens like Monero (XMR) and Zcash (ZEC). The Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR) prohibits credit institutions, financial institutions, and crypto asset service providers (CASPs) from maintaining anonymous accounts or handling privacy-enhancing coins. CASPs operating in multiple member states will face direct AML supervision, with mandatory customer due diligence for transactions above €1,000. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

"Zcash does privacy waaaay better than XMR" Read your comments twice. And don't act like triggered snow flake. BTC sold it's soul long ago and it's not privacy coin. So it's not a problem neither argument. The thing is that ZEC is centralized in terms mining. Somehow I trust more decentralised networks. XMR somehow is still kinda minable with cpu. And also ZEC is dead their Reddit is a ghost town. Monero is thriving. For some reason community use this not ZEC. It has some other problems which I am not aware of. And it's going down to zero. XMR is more like stable coin recently. No one proofed that they are tracebly. Usually what I hear that it can be traced if you make newbie mistakes. Same most likely will go with ZEC. It's like using tor and logging on Facebook expecting that your session wouldn't be compromised.
Agree and went through a similar process, luckily sooner than you but I also believe hard forks of BTC have an exceptional future too LTC ZEC even BCH
Do they hate it though? If they did it would be delisted from exchanges like XMR & ZEC
ZEC , as a privacy coin with potential to also increase in dollar value. XMR does the job nicely, but I don't expect it to double in dollar value or sth. LTC. What people don't get about LTC is that it has nothing to achieve or to prove. It was designed as money, and works fine as money. It has a strong dev and validation base, there's no risk that way. It only needs what the whole cryptocurrency ecosystem needs: a wider adoption. Nevertheless, it is one of the most adopted project among cryptos. BNB. Cryptos need networks. Nowadays many develop their own, therefore I don't expect any network token to repeat ETHs story. However, for those tokens which need a network, bnb will be the first choice
Zcash is beating BTC. And Grayscale is buying ZEC and selling BTC…go figure
XMR > ZEC ZEC has been making lower highs each cycle
In 2017 I had 36 1070’s. 6 rigs of 6 cards / rig. I was also in BTC in 2011 (for not so wholesome purposes) and 2013. I was almost one of the first to be scammed by Butterfly Labs I also owned 21 Antminer S9’s to mine BTC directly. The GPUs did me better mining ETH and ZEC directly to exchange. Then I’d sell to BTC and cold store it.
LTC and ZEC have worked well for me. Tripled my money on both and took some profits as well.
Regardless of investment potential, what are some crypto projects you find useful or interesting? I can only think of a few where I kind of get their purpose: - BTC as a store of value - ETH for smart contracts - ZEC and XMR for privacy After that, but further down, there’s - Filecoin because decentralized storage sounds useful - Civic because proving unique identity sounds interesting and useful Beyond that, many of the blurbs I’ve read on other coins are either very confusing or do not seem to be unique. But yet more of these non-meme coins seem to popup. What’s on your list?
BitcoinZ is a fork of the ZCASH core and launched in 2017 with a few modifications. All the privacy coins have a tough time because people worry about the actual supply but ZEC and zK-snarks are really smart to keep the public ledger available and also give privacy an easy way to be accessed. BTCZ is about to launch a layer 2 with smart contracts and extra features that ZEC has yet to achieve. Hopefully all privacy coins can work together to keep the idea that Bitcoin was founded on live and well
tldr; Monero (XMR) and ZCash (ZEC) are leading privacy-focused cryptocurrencies, each using different technologies to ensure user privacy. Monero employs Ring Signatures, RingCT, and Stealth Addresses for default privacy, making it popular among users seeking complete confidentiality. ZCash uses zk-SNARKs, offering optional privacy with shielded and transparent transactions. Monero has a more stable price and larger user base, while ZCash's optional privacy model has limited its adoption. Monero is favored for its comprehensive privacy, whereas ZCash appeals to those valuing regulatory compliance. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.
ZEC is an interesting play imo, new leadership and good tech behind it, also has the option of not being a privacy coin and so might be able to get a pass with regulations. From an investment standpoint, it's had jumps into the hundreds in prior rallies and could reasonably do it again, even if at a lower top. Biggest price factor here is that there's only 21 million coins out there (not all have been mined), so it's highly deflationary in that respect relative to most of the coins in the rankings you mentioned. Price movements have been promising as well over the last few weeks. Drawbacks here are a long bear market and some concerns about very small numbers of miners controlling the hash rate and energy intensive mining relative to price.
Anyone see ZEC/ZCASH poppin off here? Seems way undervalued
You think powerful governments already aren’t doing this? They hate the fact that there is a digital equivalent to cash in the form of shielded ZEC or XMR, or protocol level mixers. Both ZEC & XMR have already gone through numerous spam attacks and are still here generating blocks full of anonymous transactions. Most criminals are simple and just use Fiat Cash anyways.
ZEC seemed like a good bet. It might still be. It all goes in cycles. I still have 250 of them.
