As a general manager, I still envy ZEC. When it goes up, there are government shutdowns, there are seizures of BTC by Chen Zhi, and there are calls from Naval. When it goes down, there are also development teams leaving—this is a long-term benefit.
As a "COIN", once it was created, there really isn't much for the development team to do anymore.
If BTC is the best gift for those born in the 80s and mid-90s, then ZEC is the best gift for the highly educated born in the 00s and 10s. The 80s and 90s want decentralization, they want fairness. The highly educated born in the 00s and 10s not only want decentralization but also privacy; privacy is a higher form of fairness.
I don't believe all of this is a coincidence; I think it is a new king created after BTC. There will be more narrative events, and the more there are, the stronger the consensus will become.
