ZClassic (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1671982.0)
Zclassic is a fork of Zcash 1.0.1 with minimal changes except for 2 major things.

1. 20% Founders Reward is removed.
2. Slow start is removed (blocks start at 12.5 ZCL rewards per block).

Pro:
Superior tech same as zcash
No founders fund
Low market cap in comparison to Zcash
Holders receive zencash distribution on april 29th (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1819977.0)

Cons:
Unknown how much devs hold
Unknown if devs are in it for the money or not
Unknown how much coding experience devs have

ZCASH (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1626185.0)
Zcash uses a zero-knowledge proof construction called a zk-SNARK

Pro:
Milionaire investors
Superior tech
Gaurenteed to run for many years

Cons:
Developers gain a huge percentage ~20%
Market cap already extremely high due to distribution model

With these three i plan to hold for over 5 years, i believe i have selected a balance of risky & also secure investments.

What cryptocurrencies would you invest $25,000 on and why?

ZCash having millionaire investors combined with the fact ZCash is made by a company of closed group developers who are too important to even make their own ANN thread here should scream special interest coin at you

We do not know how much ZCL devs are holding but that can be the case with any coin. The ZCL devs were both put off by the 20% ounders feee pseudo instamine plus the tipping point to make ZCL was seeing a terrible centralization in mining pools for ZEC. ZCL was born as a result of ZEC being too centralized. The ZCL devs were good enough at coding to make a windows wallet aster than the well paid ZEC devs of esteemed cryptographers and computer science academics. They are holding the fort down don't worry
