FOMO for privacy coin Zcash which gains 750% in 3 months

One of the most well-known privacy coins, Zcash, has been on a tear in the past few months. The coin held a stable value for a decade, but suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, it began to rise. Is this a remarkable coincidence, or is there more to it?

Bashers

Privacy coins were developed in the early years after Bitcoin’s inception. They offer users anonymity and are therefore frequently called out by “bitcoin bashers” to claim that crypto is full of criminals.

The value of privacy coins usually doesn’t fluctuate much, which is why it’s so remarkable that Zcash has experienced an incredible rally in recent months. According to the latest calculations, this privacy coin has gained a whopping 750% in value during that period.

this is the craziest chart in crypto

it is the amount of ZEC being shielded and it is vertical

the more ZEC is shielded, the higher the anonymity set and the more private Zcash becomes

CT is quite literally making crypto more private again

The rally really gained momentum in recent days after legendary Bitcoin billionaire and investor Arthur Hayes also started showing interest. Hayes tweeted that Zcash could reach $10,000, though that seems rather far-fetched to me.

In any case, this seems like one to put on your “to watch” list for the next few days and weeks.
