Zcash’s Meteoric Rise: Capital Rotation or Cosmic Confabulation? 😏

Madness! The venerable Raoul Pal, font of macro wisdom and chronicler of crypto chaos, opines that Zcash’s parabolic prowess may be less a bull trend and more a capricious capital rotation. “Must I ascribe divinity to the first crypto I hold?” he quipped, channeling Socrates in a frog mask. Truly, the man’s punctuation is sharper than the steepest yield farm.

Behold, Zcash (ZEC), that privacy-peddling parvenu, has ascended in 2025 with the alacrity of a .edu student spotting NFTs. Yet Pal, ever the stoic, insists even a 699% rally is but a hare’s gambit. “Until the entire market walzes higher, we cannot confirm this is not a rotation,” he said, musing over tea and a cryptic spreadsheet.

Zcash’s “Base”: A Groundhog Day Delusion?

Zcash now trades at $385.81, a figure so lofty it causes moon-bound investors to weep. Yet as momentum cools by 37% in 30 days, one wonders: Is this a mere précis of the 2017 Telegram Cash pantomime?

Pal’s advice? “Form a base!” As if crypto markets were an IKEA flatpack. “Then pull up again,” he added, as if markets ever heeded such bureaucratic nonsense.

Meanwhile, Pal demurs from buying “at current levels,” declining the grand emperor’s feast in a Nutella jar. “Perhaps I’ll buy it next downturn,” he sighed, as if “downturns” were seasonal Manjari chocolates.

Zcash’s ascent comes while the broader crypto circus flambeaus. Its market cap ballooned from <$1B to $7B+, a feat akin to turning C++ into JetBrains. All hail the Hayes-induced Hayekian Hype Cycle! 💥

Arthur Hayes: Prophet or Payoff Artist?

Crypto’s newest obsession, the sovereign anonymity cult, drove Zcash’s surge, per XT Exchange’s November pronouncement. Meanwhile, Arthur Hayes’ October tip (“We all saw it coming!”) made ZEC soar 30% in 24h. Extraordinary-Hayes predicted $10k for Zcash with the same precision as predicting Brexit.

Grayscale’s Zcash Gambit: ETF or Oblivion?

Grayscale, ever the glitter-coated specter of Wall Street nightmares, filed for a Zcash ETF. “After Bitcoin, Doge, Ether, and XRP,” they muttered, as if listing DUI-adjacent tokens were the new corporate social responsibility. One might conclude Grayscale’s a crypto LinkedIn profile with a penchant for drama.

In conclusion: Zcash’s boom is either a revolution or a rabbits-and-rabbits performance art piece. Naturally, Pal remains agnostic-preferably in fleur-de-lis robes and a money bag bonnet. 💸🚀
