ZEC has three major drivers for its price increase—read this and you'll understand why you shouldn't short ZEC! First, it's the privacy version of BTC. The ledger can hide transactions and amounts, which is a must-have for many whales/institutions. Plus, ZEC has a spot ETF, making it the first compliant privacy asset in the U.S. Second, it's POW. Mining coins have their own logic—we talked about this yesterday, so no need to repeat it today. Third, the ecosystem. I took a closer look yesterday, and ZEC's ecosystem development is moving much faster than I expected. The ZEC main chain currently doesn't support smart contracts, so the current NFTs and inscriptions are either on the testnet or offline. Recently, the ecosystem has started minting, and some require a ZEC wallet balance limit. There are even exchanges that have suspended ZEC withdrawals. The hottest topic lately is Zaddr—those who got on the whitelist are making profits. If the project team didn't have enough capability, they wouldn't be able to play the ecosystem this well. In summary, ZEC's price increase is driven by at least three forces working together. These past couple of days have been a shakeout, brewing for a new wave of growth. The most FOMO stage hasn't arrived yet, so to the brothers shorting ZEC—I'd advise you to give up sooner rather than later.
