I think it is prudent to waite to which level Zcash will settle and then buy some. I am pretty confident it will be valuable as well - it might even gain official currency status somewhere. The stength of Zcash is its community. Only the super pumped price prevents me from buying some.
For Monero, it is a currency for everyday people and probably chosen by drug dealers and drug addicts. Monero is a decent currency but I am afraid the Zcash has done things better. No, tech is not the most important thing and as we can see from the current system, Zcash type of solution with the brightest minds probably in the world + supposedly a lot of money backing is a way to success, but as I said, personally I would waite until the price settles somewhere and not to go all in. Buying just some in case of it will overtake Monero.
Somebody asked about the GUI, it will probably not be released any time soon (might be that the developers need to rebuy before the release).
He has been flip flopping back an forth talking his book ever since he joined this thread, he was way more obnoxious in the beginning switching sentiment very often.
I see. As I am new since a few months ago I truly believed he was 100% for Monero. I was baffled at his latest post to be honest haha.
I am not 100 % for Monero.. I have been repeating it over and over again.
I have relatively diversified portfolio in general, not even close 100 % in XMR and as I have said it earlier it is stupid to invest in one asset class (unless you are a gambler and love taking risk even if you lose).
I think the future of Monero is still good with or without official GUI. The webwallet is decent and easy enough to use + you do not need to download anything to your desktop.
I am not flip flopping and I do not recommend to sell on the bottom, some of my bids are still untouched and most likely the majority will not be taken because that requires quite extreme volatility.
That being said, I have told long long time ago that I am interested in Z-cash and I see their strengths.
I think Monero serves a niche (junkies, criminals and other DNM clients and vendors + enthusiasts). Z-cash most likely might be the choice for official currency like fiat is nowdays.I think both Monero and Z-cash can coexists and I am considering investing a small amount of money (1-2 btc) into it in case it will become great.
The problem is the Zcash is waaaay over valued and I think the realist price for me to get in is around the same I got into XMR (0.00255 which is the break even price I have bought my Moneros).
So guys do you think it is smart to diversify some bitcoins also to Zcash when the inflation start hitting?
Personally I am a little interested in this because I find it a good investment if I can get it for fair price. Why I think it is good investment? The reason: it has probably the brightest minds in the world in its team (in case Mossad is involved). Also as there are involvement of Jews so money should not be the problem..

You have zero reputation here TC.
