Follow institutional investors. The ZCash investment reportSupplement to: Realized-Capitalization-ZEC-trading-at-a-60-discount A-detailed-investment-case-with-supplementary-offsite-data Privacy coins occupy a function within the cryptocurrency industry that many of the early adopters of cryptocurrencies consider essential. Bitcoin itself is often incorrectly referred to as an anonymous way of transferring value. Security experts call it pseudonymous privacy, like writing books under a codename. You can preserve your privacy as long as your wallet address is not linked to you. 1- Privacy solved with leading technology Originally based on Bitcoin Core's battle-tested codebase, ZCash was able to capitalize on the privacy issues of Bitcoin and forked its codebase so that there are now two types of transactions on its blockchain: shielded (using zk-SNARKS) and unshielded (just like on the original Bitcoin blockchain), making privacy an option for its users. zkSNARKs are the most exciting/interesting way (as Vitalik or Snowden would say) to make blockchains private. 2- Efficient, usable, widely supported Zcash is a fast, reliable and inexpensive way to send money or digitally purchase goods and services. It is also supported by all the top exchanges and wallets. For a detailed list see Figure 1 here: imgur.com 3- Multisignature transactions Zcash supports transactions that require multiple signatures. This means that a transaction may require two or more parties to agree to the transaction before funds are sent. 4- A world-class team ZCash is led by Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn, a world class computer security specialist. The team has by far the most expertise in zero-knowledge cryptography, it's natural that they are looked to and respected. 5- The Controversial Founders’ Reward 10% of the eventual monetary base goes to the founders so that there is continued incentive and continued resources for the founders to improve the value of the coin. I am backing Edward Snowden in the logic that a reward is important to attract the best minds to work on the Zcash project. Consistent payment of the developers allows them to discover issues and patch them before they can be exploited by opportunistic parties. Whilst this is open to debate, a steady budget should help push things forward with development and education. 6- Exposure: Zcash for Institutional Investors and Family Offices There are a variety of potential market participants, among them hedge funds, venture capital firms, high-net-worth individuals, and pension funds that now have financial options available: Custodians: hold your Zcash for you to help minimize the risk of lost keys or theft Investment vehicles: allow investors to gain exposure to Zcash without having to hold it themselves. Trading firms: offer access to counterparties for the purpose of large over-the-counter (OTC) trades. For a detailed list of some of the big names involved see Figure 2 here: imgur.com 7- Progressing towards becoming audit and regulation friendly In the world of cryptocurrencies and digital assets, which by default are intangible, trust, risk management and reasonable assurance are key. In the crypto market there is a huge problem with market integrity and with consumer protection. Music to the ears of regulators is that payment disclosure and special "viewing keys" can be used to share transaction details with trusted third parties for compliance or audits or to comply with regulatory requirements. 8- Audited meticulously Zcash is going to great lengths to make sure their code is world-class by ensuring world class cyber security audits by third parties. This separates Zcash from 99% of all other cryptos out there. For more information on cyber security audits please see the respective reports at Kudelski Security, NCC Group, QEDi and Coinspect Additional positive quantitative data: Figure 3: Stacked Daily ZCash Exchange Volume_ZCash Market Capitalization: imgur.com Figure 4: Realized Market Capitalization vs Market Capitalization_ ZCash Undervalued imgur.com

ZEC/USD with solid 10% profit potentialAnother great one that my mentee Murat has recognized (all credits to him): ZEC/USD on the 4H is currently about to breakout above the 92-95 range with the wicks (have to be careful to not get faked-out, you can let yourself partially trigger in this case). In this case we definitely have the chance to reach the 100 Dollars psychological, and even the previous S&R zone on the Daily at 105, which would give a solid 10% profit potential: Further S&R zones at 145 & 155 would be on the way afterwards, but we definitely would expect a reaction from the bears at 105 at the latest, before we can move higher. My mentee is able to recognize this after 3 weeks of intense training, where we're going through chart setups for 2 hours straight on every call together, training the chart anatomy with trend changes (HL/LL/), important S&R zones, indicator confirmation like RSI, and so much more, where he can ask me any questions that are unclear to him. The rate of improvement is maybe 10 times higher as if you were to figure it out by yourself, and will spare you immense amount of headaches, and especially money through noob mistakes. If you had some value from my analysis, give it a thumbs-up & comment it, because the mechanism shows my analysis to other people then.
