Still I am for BTC or bitcoin. Though Zcash is gaining base supports,still bitcoin is number 1 and it has already proven to us its worth,purpose and reliability. Zcash has more challenges to hurdle to prove itself but it is worth a try.
The only use of Zcash at the moment is trading and other than that i did not find any valid use and if you are miner you can make some money since it is a new coin,they have to build casino's that start accepting Zcash ,you really cannot compare bitcoin with Zcash.
They have on their faq that they have no plans to make any wallets other than the crappy linux wallet. They will depend on the community for that. There still isn't any windows wallet that is sure to be virus free. The good news for people betting on Zcash is there are two hardware wallets that support it while 0 that support Monero. Ledger Nano S supports Z type private wallet and Trezor supports Zcash and Dash now. So Hardware developers have placed zcash as higher priority than most cryptos. I'm just wondering why such a pro developer team won't make some damn wallets.
maybe with the adoption of the two most popular hardware wallets, we can start seeing it spent or traded directly. Bitcoin is losing its place already as the entry point for cash to crypto, Tether is rising fast as a stable storage and entry point to the crypto market. Now if we could just get some damn credit card purchases.
