ZEC is crazy profitable right now but if you're a seasoned miner you know that you can't build on it for a long time, not even for 3 months.
But then again the 10800 Mhs X11 miner is even better, in fact it's a ridiculously profitable miner with a whole lot of smoke and mirrors surrounding it.
In fact, it's so profitable that currently it would only take 20 days to reach ROI, using the average, $6200 price. As I said before, let's just think for a second and ask who would sell such a crazy profitable miner instead of using them?
The answer is no sane person.
No self respecting miner I have spoken to even remotely considering buying one. A couple of promises and videos are not proof in this day and age and then there are the other red flags...
but as weird as it may seem Zec has a market cap of 100 mill
and dash has a market cap of 600 mill
so pumping or supporting zec is 6x less expensive then pumping or supporting dash.
I know in ten days I could look like a moron about zec but there are eth xmr skein and others.
I think it is not the general market cap, it is the newly issued coins to be considered in support the price.
it is both if you are looking to prop the price up. here is why?
say cap is 100 and 1 new every day.
you buy the 1 or most of it people holding the older 100 can rush to sell due to your prop up. since there is only 100 you can afford to buy from them .
cap is 10,000 and 1 new every day you feed money into the 1 easy peasy but 5000 of the old looks to bail that is 50x the cost to prop price.
better way is use actual numbers there is 110,000,000 in old coin with ZEC NVIDIA is worth 52,000,000,000 billion or almost 475x all the old coins they could buy them all at current price fairly easy.
dash is 660,000,000 old coins nvidia is 78 times bigger much harder to prop price is old holders sell off.
So consider the wealth of all people that win with ZEC.
INTEL WINS
NVIDIA WINS
even AMD WINS
ASUS
ASROCK
BIOSTAR
MSI
EVGA
SAPPHIRE
ZOTAC
list goes on they can easily price the current daily price /production and with ZEC the older pile is not scary as it is small.
compare to BTC 144 coins at 1500 = 2.16 million a day
but back pile 21 billion
