My line of thinking is basically that this is still a very virginal industry. I'm completely unconvinced that Zcash or Monero are better or more secure. All altcoins are yet equally to stand test of time... for that reason it makes sense to enter into equal amount of risk at a much lower entry price than at a much higher entry price. A couple of years from now we will know which altcoin had the most amount of bag holders - and I think we will all be very surprised - any one of them could have a ton of surprises up their sleeve.

At worst I will only lose $100 worth of electricity with Signatum, what a travesty

As for people claiming that Monero or Zcash is better, more secure and so on - that's what they all say... nobody knows that yet.

As for dumping this coin, it's just dumping it into another crypto - and how do you know it's better? I think even the best cryptographers would find it difficult to make a deep risk assessment of one crypto currency over another - they are all at the same level right now.
