Zcash is a higher-risk store of value because bugs in its proof system have made undetectable counterfeiting possible. Those bugs have been exploited twice, and nobody can verify whether counterfeit ZEC was created. Litecoin's MWEB privacy layer had a validation bug exploited to mint 85,000 counterfeit LTC, showing privacy-focused monetary systems can introduce real security and supply risks. Their privacy can still make them useful for moving funds quickly and privately. x.comÂ
Zcash's privacy makes its supply unauditable, so a counterfeiting bug has left a doubt the market cannot disprove. A white-hat researcher hired by Shielded Labs used Opus 4.8 to build a working exploit for a two-line Orchard circuit bug present since 2022. It was patched within days and never hit mainnet, and the team says no counterfeit ZEC was minted, but that cannot be proven. Unlike bitcoin, ZEC traded verifiability for privacy, and an asset that cannot be proven clean cannot be patched. … Show more
ZEC remains worth backing through uncertain AI and quantum threats because its development team has shown the ability to ship quickly enough to adapt as threats emerge; forecasting which cryptographic technology will hold up over medium to long horizons is difficult. x.comÂ
Zcash's privacy makes critical bugs undetectable, so a flaw could let someone print unlimited ZEC and dump it unnoticed. Two critical infinite-mint bugs have now been found, possibly more, and everyone is hunting for them with AI; unlike transparent Bitcoin, such inflation cannot be automatically detected. Regulation also leaves no viable path to adoption, since no AML-compliant company can accept it. x.com x.com x.com x.com x.comÂ
Low liquidity could cause sharp downside wicks in altcoins over the coming days. Uniswap at $3-6 and Zcash near $800 are levels of interest for bids. Trader_XO sees Zcash near $800, a call that holds here too; the level is expected before year-end. x.com x.com x.comÂ
Zcash's privacy is its lasting edge because bank accounts may never become private, while quantum resistance should become a requirement for all survivors. Its public transactions make institutional integration easier than Monero's, giving it a larger potential market. Monero has value and is probably oversold, though FCMP++ has no clear timeline. Institutions' comfort with Zcash could fade if governments clamp down. x.com x.com x.com x.com x.com x.comÂ
Zcash is running what amounts to an unlimited mint scam, and the timing alongside Mert's move to Dubai is oddly suspicious. x.comÂ
Zcash is showing weakness, and its super-illiquid spot book means profit-taking by spot holders can drive a sharply convex move to the downside. Broader risk appetite also appears to be weakening. x.comÂ
Zcash is showing privacy coins are far from dead, posting one of the strongest runs in crypto while an ETF buys up a meaningful chunk of the supply. x.comÂ
Zcash is entering a profit-taking zone after moving above key levels into a stretched area. Per Alphractal, NUPL is at 0.53, showing holders sit on strong unrealized profits, while whales holding 100K-1M ZEC are starting to sell. Those who bought much lower should consider taking some profits here. x.comÂ
