Mixed service cost some fee. I think it is higher than the zcash.
I can't find any specific use of Zcash other than the fact that it is backed up by famous people and trying to cash in with the "Anonymity" factor. Monero and Dash are good choice and offer better option than Zcash at the moment and the crazy part is they are cheaper than Zcash.
It might take time for it to be popular. So we have to be patient.
After there is enough supply, there could be some usage and the price might rise.
But that will take some time.
The pump will come in a few more months. So just be patient.
The price is $43.00 right now. So you expect this to be higher when there are more coins? Coins that have no real world use other than speculation. Do you really think that it will go higher than that? Dream on, smart people cash out while they can.
