And then I discovered all of Moneros privacy flaws and attack vectors. It's seems to me like an elaborate scam. zk-SNARKs (not just Zcash) actually offers real anonymity and utility. I left Monero because I found vastly superior tech.
Zcash is just a funding mechanism for zk-snark cryptography research. When it reaches a sufficient level of refinement, it'll just be added to Bitcoin as a sidechain. Good luck finding someone to buy your bags then.
