Yeah. It may take quite a long time for ZCash's price to rise back up to its original levels since launch. Especially now, as the whole cryptocurrency markets have experienced sharp declines in value over the past days.
The good thing though, is that you will be able to grab some cheap ZEC while these massive price declines lasts. I have the feeling that markets will stabilize and rise back up again after Bitcoin's Segwit2x upgrade on August 1st. If it becomes successful, then the pioneer cryptocurrency along with the rest of the altcoins on the market will skyrocket leaving you with massive profits if you've invested earlier into ZEC.
As for me, I'm hoping to buy ZEC when it becomes worth $100. As soon as it reaches those levels, it will be able to secure a lot of ZCash for when the prices rise, and obtain massive profits along the way.
