Zcash (ZEC) nosedived through the $400 threshold as a wave of departures swept through Electric Coin Company, the project's lead development team. CEO Josh Swihart characterized the situation as a "constructive discharge"—hinting at forced exits rather than voluntary moves. The sudden leadership upheaval left a noticeable void at the top, triggering questions about the project's direction and internal stability. Investor sentiment shifted accordingly, with market players reassessing their confidence in the ecosystem's future governance. The incident underscores how organizational turbulence can ripple through token valuations when key decision-makers exit en masse.

Another story of a project team collapse... Is ZEC really going to be finished this time?

zec this round really sucks, "constructive discharge" sounds like a euphemism for being forced to resign... who would dare to take over with such a big team overhaul?

lmao constructive discharge is just corpo speak for "we got rid of them" ... classic capitulation signal tbh. paper hands already panic selling while smart money's accumulating the dip. zec's volatility is literally screaming "bottom forming" if u actually know how to read market psychology

ZEC has crashed again, this time it's really an internal problem.

seen this movie before ngl... when the hash starts dropping and devs start bailing, difficulty adjustment can't save ya. zec's been coasting on privacy hype for years anyway

Another team collapse, ZEC directly drops below 400... This is the "reality" of Web3.

ZEC is coming with a new plot twist? The CEO even mentioned "constructive discharge," which is just a euphemism for being forced out... The team is fleeing en masse, no wonder the coin price is plunging directly.

Wow, ECC is having internal conflicts? Josh even mentioned constructive discharge, this clearly looks like they were pushed out... ZEC falling below 400 is really the end of the line.

ZEC falling below 400 is all because of this wave of personnel shake-up... The guys are talking about "constructive discharge," which sounds ridiculous. That's how the crypto world is—once they catch wind of management issues, they immediately dump the market, no one cares how good your technical skills are.
