Alright, let's get this straight. Zcash is "surging" because... why exactly? Because suddenly everyone cares about privacy after a decade of gleefully handing their data to Facebook and Google? Give me a break.
The "Roadmap" to Nowhere
ECC, the folks behind Zcash, are patting themselves on the back for a Q4 2025 roadmap. Ephemeral addresses, new transparent addresses, hardware wallet support... It's the same old song and dance. Crypto projects love to release "roadmaps" full of jargon that nobody understands, and then act like they've cured cancer. Zcash creator ECC unveils Q4 2025 roadmap as privacy token's price and shielded supply surge
"Reducing technical debt, improving privacy and usability..." blah, blah, blah. It all sounds good on paper, but let's be real: how many of these promises will actually materialize? And even if they do, will anyone actually use them?
They even disabled the Coinbase on-ramp because of some "privacy-unfriendly" session token requirement? Oh, the irony. A privacy coin lecturing Coinbase on privacy. That's like McDonald's lecturing a Michelin star restaurant on fine dining.
The Price is Wrong, Bitch
The article says Zcash is up from $50 to $420. Okay, great. But zoom out on that chart. Look at the all-time high. It's still a long way from its glory days. This isn't a "surge," it's a dead cat bounce.
And comparing it to Monero? Please. Monero has actual staying power. Zcash is always playing catch-up, trying to be relevant. It's like that kid in high school who kept changing his style to fit in with the cool crowd.
This whole "privacy coin rally" feels manufactured. Like some whales decided to pump Zcash and Dash just to see if they could get away with it. And offcourse they will.
Dash is supposedly going to repeat its 2017 run and hit $260 by December 2025? If you believe that, I've got a bridge to sell you.
Regulatory Nightmare Fuel
Here's the inconvenient truth nobody wants to talk about: regulators hate privacy coins. They see them as tools for money laundering and illegal activity, and they're not wrong.
Zcash might have this fancy "zero-knowledge" proof thingamajig, but that doesn't change the fact that governments are going to come down hard on anything that threatens their control over the financial system. Major exchanges have already restricted or delisted privacy coins, and that trend is only going to continue.
South Korea banned them. The EU is planning to ban them by 2027. It's not looking good, folks.
Bitcoin, at least, has become a pet of the institutions. Zcash? It's still fighting for scraps, hoping it doesn't get eaten alive.
Maybe I'm being too harsh. Maybe Zcash really is the future of private transactions. But I doubt it.
This Ain't No Revolution, It's Just Another Get-Rich-Quick Scheme
This whole thing stinks. It's a pump-and-dump disguised as a "privacy surge." Don't get caught holding the bag when the music stops.
