Ethereum may be more promising as a long-term investment, but ZCash is also promising due to its consistent development and innovation. As a privacy coin, there's a bright future for it. People will begin to look for alternatives which provide them private transactions against the likes of third parties. It's no secret that the government has been spying on us every step of the way. With cryptocurrencies like ZCash, you can feel confident that only you have access to your funds, and only you are able to see how many coins you own. Complete secrecy is key to achieving financial sovereignty and ZCash fits the bill quite nicely.

Now, ZCash may have other competitors such as Monero and Zcoin, but it could remain in the market for a very long time due to its innovative Zero Knowledge Proof tech. With all the improvements that ZCash will experience over time, there's no reason why you shouldn't invest in it right now, especially when prices have been on a downfall due to the recent bear market.
