What top creators are saying about Zcash(ZEC)

Hayes likes Zcash's privacy narrative and sees potential for protocol improvements, while acknowledging unresolved technical risks; he gives no buy recommendation or price target.

Zcash was used as a comparison in the Pearl thesis and privacy was noted as absent from the portfolio; no valuation or outlook for ZEC was assessed.

Investor interest is linked to privacy, personal ownership, and sovereignty amid concerns about AI surveillance and quantum computing. The speaker said Grayscale had launched a Zcash ETF that could support in-kind transactions.

Zcash was up approximately 9% over 30 days, with no explanation for the move or specific outlook.

Largest portfolio gainer shown, up $53,668 today.

Fell about 34%; a pullback could be an opportunity only if the bullish thesis and price structure hold, with the outcome uncertain.

The speaker expressed bullish personal conviction and viewed the negative narrative as misleading, but sold after becoming unsettled by social-media criticism and market fears, later regretting the sale as ZEC rebounded. The account is presented as a cautionary example of leverage, oversizing, and emotional trading rather than a buy recommendation.

Mentioned as a privacy coin that performed well in the cycle discussed, but this is a market observation rather than a recommendation.

Mentioned only as a cryptocurrency available to trade on Kalshi; no individual outlook or investment thesis is provided.

The discussion was bullish on Zcash's ability to adapt and upgrade quickly, citing less contentious governance and a planned reduction in block times. Its investment case should stand on its own merits rather than rely only on being a hedge against Bitcoin.

Its roadmap, including Tachyon, was cited as a potential security advantage, but throughput and execution risks remain. The host said he had bought and later sold his position, regretting that it had been sized too aggressively.

Large crypto-fund investments in Zcash may be a positive signal, but funds can be wrong and investors may face drawdowns. The post advises patience and avoiding liquidation.

Hayes said the position made money for his fund and viewed Zcash as a possible privacy-oriented complement to Bitcoin. He gave no price target or specific buy recommendation.

Zcash was listed as down 41% in the drawdown comparison and was also said to have fallen 15% in a later market move.

Zcash was briefly mentioned as a possible token of the cycle and in connection with Starknet founder Eli Ben-Sasson. No specific recommendation or price target was provided.

The investment case centers on growing demand for financial privacy, development activity, and strong cryptography. Risks include regulatory resistance and potential security issues; the token is also described as highly volatile.

The speaker is watching resistance and a possible move toward $900–$950 before considering further upside.

Potential demand for financial privacy and claimed quantum resistance were presented as supports for Zcash, alongside comparisons with Bitcoin. Adoption and competitive prospects remain uncertain.

The interviewer called Zcash the “Bitcoin of this bull market,” reflecting bullish market rhetoric, but offered no specific investment rationale or forecast.

Its potential path is compared to a token that reportedly rose from $600 million to $11 billion over two months; images show ZEC market caps of about $670 million in September 2025 and $11 billion in November 2025.

ZEC appears in a chart labeled PUMP/ZEC, which shows a descending trendline.

The investment case centers on demand for financial privacy as AI improves analysis of public ledgers and on development intended to address quantum threats. The Bitcoin-relative valuation claim is speculative.

Identified as an example of a privacy-focused crypto asset that could fit the speaker's view that privacy may become more important as AI agents handle information.

Mentioned as an asset bought through a Stonk5-related reflection mechanism and described as one of the better performers in that set. No direct holding or individual recommendation is stated.

Mentioned as a portfolio holding without a specific thesis, target, or risk assessment.

The host notes strong momentum after a major run and that Zcash overtook Monero in market capitalization, but has held off buying partly because of the sharp rise.

Presented as a high-risk, high-upside potential store of value if concern about quantum risks to Bitcoin grows. The host held spot Zcash but was not leveraged long; the price and market-cap estimates were explicitly speculative.

Classified as more of a privacy or store-of-value asset than a revenue-driven finance protocol; no detailed investment case was provided.

The guest expressed conditional optimism about Zcash's growth and privacy features, while warning that association with illicit activity could prompt regulatory and exchange restrictions.

A trader was averaging in based on privacy demand and Project Hachyon, but warned that losing $1,000 or fading interest could lead to sharp declines. Higher price possibilities were explicitly speculative.

A trader sees Zcash as a leading cycle narrative with potential to compete for Bitcoin flows, but warns of a steep reversal if buyer interest fades. The price levels are personal views, not firm forecasts.

The correction may be nearing completion, but a recovery is not confirmed and support needs to hold.

Zcash was cited as a newer asset helping drive users and volume to Derive, without a direct price view or recommendation.

Rose from about $50 to $1,300 while remaining a fraction of Bitcoin's market capitalization; possible capital rotation from Bitcoin is considered but not predicted.

ZEC was cited among Derive's larger options markets and as contributing to user interest and trading volume, without a price outlook or recommendation.

The speaker called Zcash his favorite and said he still liked it as a spot holding, while noting declines of about 41% during the crash and 15% in a later selloff.

Mentioned as a euphoric, sentiment-sensitive asset and as an example of a concentrated high-conviction position that had worked for the speaker, not as a general recommendation.

ZEC fell about 13% on the week, though one host remained bullish. ETF interest was cited as positive, while volatility and potential cryptographic security risks remain concerns.

Mentioned as a possible alternative in the quantum discussion and described as quantum resistant but not cryptography resistant; the discussion does not establish it as a safer investment or hedge.

The speaker says ZEC has lost momentum and recommends waiting for price to react at support before adding, allowing for further decline.

Could gain a much larger valuation if quantum risk becomes a serious concern for Bitcoin, supported by its privacy and store-of-value thesis.

Shielded Zcash was described as potentially comparatively well positioned in a cryptographic emergency, but it is not guaranteed to withstand broader consensus failures.

The speaker is strongly bullish, viewing Zcash as an adaptable alternative to Bitcoin with potential advantages in privacy, scalability, and quantum resistance. Project Tachyon is a potential catalyst, but execution, security issues, adoption, and uncertain timelines are significant risks.

After a very large advance, the speaker highlighted profit protection and said the following week would be important for assessing whether the move was weakening.

Expected to underperform PUMP.

The discussion highlights competitive risk, arguing that a competitor or AI-built alternative with a superior product could take over Zcash's narrative. No specific investment view or timeline is given.

The speaker sees a possible accumulation opportunity if Zcash stays well above its prior all-time high, but considers a fall below that level negative. Claims about cryptographic resilience were presented with uncertainty.

Viewed as increasingly relevant to cryptographic-security discussions and potentially able to benefit from flows away from Bitcoin, though the speaker did not expect it to exceed Bitcoin's market capitalization.

After a sharp decline, Zcash may offer a potential entry; the author expects it to find a bottom and consolidate for a few weeks. Retail long interest has risen, and traders appear overleveraged.

Santos sees Zcash as increasingly relevant for privacy and security and discussed a possible shift of flows from Bitcoin, while saying he does not expect Zcash to exceed Bitcoin's market capitalization.
