With the upcoming improvements for ZCash, I think that it has a huge potential to increase in price in the future. Right now, it's been struggling to get past the $500 USD mark, but it's good in the sense that prices are relatively stable. Perhaps, once founder's reward period is over and ZEC enforces shielded transactions by default on the network, then prices will head above the $500 mark for sure.

It only needs time to improve itself to become one of the best privacy coins around in the market. Considering today's prices for ZCash, I think that it is quite a bargain, as it will become extremely valuable in the future.

Nevertheless, only time will tell what lies ahead for ZEC's future, but all we could do is invest and hodl our coins for the long term. Just my opinion
