Zcash is a joke but Stratis and Antshares are legit projects that Iconomi should invest in, very undervalued at the moment if you think about it. If Stratis deliver the NBitcoin project that will add a lot of value to Bitcoin and it will get noticed, that's why it keeps rising along BTC, perhaps one of the only projects that follows every spike.

Antshares is still under development but anything chinese you know it can get traction fast and the team is very experience with plenty of connections in the industry. This is the first 100% chinese project and very ambitious, it can even become more used than Ethereum, at least in China.

As for Iconomi, the price is hurting right now also because of ETH downtrend, every Ethereum asset and token is down and until there are some actual news or progress it will remain around $10-11 per ETH. We don't know where BTC pump will end (yes it's a pump and not much else). Now it's the time to start buying altcoins slowly but surely, eventually they follow BTC and the whole market flourishes.
