For the past year, Zcash, dormant for years, has returned to the center of the market. After nearly nine years of relative stagnation, ZEC surged significantly, recently breaking through $1,000; meanwhile, the Zcash ETF under Grayscale launched on NYSE Arca, providing new allocation entry points for traditional investors. Price performance, privacy demand, and institutional channels have begun to improve simultaneously, leading some investors to once again view Zcash as a potential store-of-value asset alongside Bitcoin.

In this video, crypto trader and prominent ZEC bull Taiki Maeda explains why he allocated most of his net worth to ZEC, and why, after a security incident triggered a crash and he took a stop-loss at low prices, he chose to rebuy at higher levels.

In this nearly 38-minute review of his personal trades, Taiki essentially deconstructs a single ZEC long position into a set of deeper structural questions: Can privacy become an asset demand independent of Bitcoin? Can price appreciation improve the utility value of the privacy network? And when the market begins to validate a non-consensus view, how should investors adjust their positions rather than being anchored by original costs?
