This coin is the same as all the others and should also be treated with confidence. All this hype will eventually pass, and the coin will remain. So use it. Good luck.

Yeah. ZEC is just like another altcoin in crypto land. There is no real active development and innovation, with the only exception of intergrating an additional feature for privacy over its transactions.

Since it has the underlying founder's reward tax, I think that the main purpose for ZEC's creation was for its company to obtain profits, rather than deliver a solid cryptocurrency for the masses. It is up to this date, where I haven't seen anything new related to ZEC, where it lacks a cross-platform wallet for mainstream acceptance.

On the other hand, ZCoin has better development and community which could make it survive for many years to come. Since it doesn't have a founder's reward tax, miners get all the profit for themselves, just like any other cryptocurrency in existence. I believe that this model is far more decentralized than the one ZCash has.

Despite everything, ZEC could be more useful as a speculative tool rather than a serious investment. Perhaps, after the slow start period and founder's reward is over, we might see a serious change in its value. It would be wise to watch over its price movements over time, and profit whenever you see the chance. Just my opinion
