For me ZCash is a serious competitor to Monero to be the anonymous coin. Moreover this is a good coin to mine when you are a miner. I am glad it exists !
That is what I have also read. That insofar as complete anonymity is what you are looking for, there is only Monero and ZCash that are the top choices. I believe in this coin getting strong in the days to come. It is just a buying time right now as the price is dumping, but moderately, single digit dump is still healthy.
