$ZEC is an extremely misunderstood asset, which is why there's still so much upside left. ZEC started to bottom around April 2025, when @ebfull shared a blog post about Project Tachyon. Tachyon makes Zcash quantum proof and paves the way to scale Zcash to 50k TPS. And you cannot address quantum without addressing scalability since post-quantum cryptographic signatures are going to be an order of magnitude larger. At the risk of sounding hyperbolic, the real bull case for Zcash is to fulfill Satoshi's vision: becoming peer-to-peer electronic digital cash. What many Bitcoiners gave up on. Zcash has the same properties as BTC, except it has a credible roadmap to scale to 50k TPS at the base layer, with built-in privacy. It's extremely ambitious, but that is the vision. At the same time, I expect Bitcoin to undergo a crisis of confidence. Crypto participants have been conditioned to blindly believe BTC will hit new highs every couple of years. I believe these assumptions will be challenged as the quantum overhang looms large, and continued underperformance will drive more flows into ZEC. I would not be surprised if BTC trades like ETH last cycle. Peter Thiel talks about the "Last Mover Advantage." That is, it's far better to make the last great development in a market and then dominate. Facebook vs Myspace. Google vs Yahoo. Zcash has dominated a small niche (privacy), and then it plans to scale to the ambitious goal, which is peer-to-peer electronic cash. The ZEC trade closely resembles the SOL trade last cycle. ZEC's ability to move fast challenges a slow-moving incumbent (BTC), similar to how SOL challenged the ivory tower of ETH. History doesn't repeat, but it often rhymes. There’s a fundamental mismatch between why Zcash is going up (Tachyon + last mover advantage) and the broader market’s understanding ("just a privacy coin"). Understanding this is a form of alpha/edge. I expect this knowledge gap to close when Tachyon hits mainnet in Q1 2027. As a result, I expect the following over the next 1-2yrs: 1) Bitcoiners will start "silent quitting" and begin hedging their holdings with ZEC 2) Capital allocators that may have full ported BTC 5 years ago, will buy both ZEC and BTC as a bet on a sovereign SoV 3) Smart crypto developers to move on from other ecosystems to start contributing to Zcash 4) As ZEC continues to outperform BTC, people will start to seriously entertain the possibility of a flippening 5) $20,000 ZEC Zigher.
