Privacy coins occupy a function within the cryptocurrency industry that many of the early adopters of cryptocurrencies consider essential.
Bitcoin itself is often incorrectly referred to as an anonymous way of transferring value. Security experts call it pseudonymous privacy, like writing books under a codename. You can preserve your privacy as long as your wallet address is not linked to you.
1- Privacy solved with leading technology
Originally based on Bitcoin Core's battle-tested codebase, ZCash was able to capitalize on the privacy issues of Bitcoin and forked its codebase so that there are now two types of transactions on its blockchain: shielded (using zk-SNARKS) and unshielded (just like on the original Bitcoin blockchain), making privacy an option for its users. zkSNARKs are the most exciting/interesting way (as Vitalik or Snowden would say) to make blockchains private.
2- Efficient, usable, widely supported
Zcash is a fast, reliable and inexpensive way to send money or digitally purchase goods and services. It is also supported by all the top exchanges and wallets.

3- Multisignature transactions
Zcash supports transactions that require multiple signatures. This means that a transaction may require two or more parties to agree to the transaction before funds are sent.
4- A world-class team
ZCash is led by Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn, a world class computer security specialist. The team has by far the most expertise in zero-knowledge cryptography, it's natural that they are looked to and respected.
5- The Controversial Founders’ Reward
10% of the eventual monetary base goes to the founders so that there is continued incentive and continued resources for the founders to improve the value of the coin. I am backing Edward Snowden in the logic that a reward is important to attract the best minds to work on the Zcash project. Consistent payment of the developers allows them to discover issues and patch them before they can be exploited by opportunistic parties. Whilst this is open to debate, a steady budget should help push things forward with development and education.
6- Exposure: Zcash for Institutional Investors and Family Offices
There are a variety of potential market participants, among them hedge funds, venture capital firms, high-net-worth individuals, and pension funds that now have financial options available:
Custodians: hold your Zcash for you to help minimize the risk of lost keys or theft
Investment vehicles: allow investors to gain exposure to Zcash without having to hold it themselves.
Trading firms: offer access to counterparties for the purpose of large over-the-counter (OTC) trades.

7- Progressing towards becoming audit and regulation friendly
In the world of cryptocurrencies and digital assets, which by default are intangible, trust, risk management and reasonable assurance are key. In the crypto market there is a huge problem with market integrity and with consumer protection. Music to the ears of regulators is that payment disclosure and special "viewing keys" can be used to share transaction details with trusted third parties for compliance or audits or to comply with regulatory requirements.
8- Audited meticulously
Zcash is going to great lengths to make sure their code is world-class by ensuring world class cyber security audits by third parties. This separates Zcash from 99% of all other cryptos out there.

Zec/Btc looking for a bounce on weekly @ 25 RSIBeing all in on Zec since 1 million Satoshi price, I am naturally a little biased. However, there is a bullish divergence on this high time frame Zec/Btc pair. I believe this pair will naturally find a balance at above 2 million satoshis as the zcash halving approaches next fall. Keep in mind how much power and control the Zcash miners have to keep price suppressed. They are generating and controlling 0.1% of additional Zec supply DAILY... Suppressed price means less mining competition, why would the miners want to jack price to the moon on a coin that is already profitable to mine at current price? A moon shot now would only attract more hash rate and give current Zcash miners less power over the distribution. Therefore I believe there is a lot of open market price suppression by miners while whales accumulate via over the counter buys. I will keep adding, I think Zcash is a SOLID project, all the founder reward drama is way over hyped, and the btc pair will return to 5 million sats at some point in the coming years. Might have to suffer seeing 500,000 sats first, but the likelihood of the upside is high given the immense disadvantage of the current stock to flow ratio of Zcash. The supply squeeze next year will be very significant as a percentage of inflation, as annual rate will drop from 33% to 12%.
