Finally, some heartfelt words
The issues with $ZEC have never been just about a certain vulnerability, a team member leaving, or a peak in some indicator.
Its fundamental problem lies in this: a project claiming to be a "privacy coin" has less than 1% of transactions as shielded; a protocol claiming to be "decentralized" has governance blocked by a nonprofit board; an asset claiming to be "censorship-resistant" has its founder siphoning rewards from block subsidies for ten years.
