Since 2022, I have been consistently using DCA to buy ZEC, and this choice has unexpectedly brought quite a few surprises. Looking back on this cycle, the value of privacy coins has gradually been recognized—especially as high-net-worth individuals' demand for asset privacy has grown increasingly strong, directly driving ZEC's upward trend. By November 2025, I decided to take profits on one-third of my position, locking in gains while reserving space for future investments. My plan for 2026 is simple: continue with the DCA strategy. The key to long-term investing is maintaining discipline, staying alert to market noise without being swayed. Compared to BTC, ZEC has a clear advantage in privacy protection, making it an ideal choice for large asset allocations—this recognition is also gradually increasing among institutional investors.

Look at this logic, DCA over three years really paid off, and the story of privacy coins is just beginning to be clarified. Hey, institutions are also starting to pay attention to ZEC, this is getting interesting. To be honest, with dollar-cost averaging, you just have to withstand all those messy news and not get brainwashed. In terms of privacy needs, BTC really can't handle it, ZEC has something special. Taking profits and still continuing DCA with one-third remaining—an operation only the knowledgeable would do. I just want to ask, do high-net-worth individuals really care so much about privacy, or are project teams just hyping up concepts? This strategy sounds simple, but actually, there are very few who can stick with it. ZEC went from being obscure to where it is now, and we really have to thank this wave of privacy demand awakening. The hardest part is to withstand the noise; I often get affected by all kinds of FUD. Long-term investing is basically a battle against your own desires.

ZEC has truly been underestimated for too long. Privacy is indeed a necessity, but most people haven't realized it yet.

Wow, three years of DCA has finally yielded the privacy coin dividend. This luck is truly unmatched... The recent market trend of ZEC is quite interesting. High-net-worth individuals really care about privacy, no wonder institutions are starting to pay attention. Taking profits on 1/3 is actually quite smart; otherwise, watching the ups and downs every day would be exhausting. In terms of privacy protection, ZEC is definitely more resilient than BTC. Why is everyone still flocking to BTC? Discipline is easy to talk about but hard to practice. Watching others make money really requires self-control... As expected, those who just lie back and win are the ones who don't look at anything and can sleep peacefully. Keep DCA-ing, and let's talk again in 2026 about whether ZEC will take another flight.

ZEC this wave is indeed impressive, but I still think the privacy coin ceiling is a bit uncertain... Regulatory pressure is really increasing.

This wave of ZEC has indeed been undervalued; the privacy demand is there, and institutions have already been making arrangements.

Bro, you've had quite the guts to hold ZEC for the past three years. Privacy coins have indeed been underestimated. The reason ZEC has surged so strongly is thanks to that group of high-net-worth individuals; they are the real big spenders. Increasing institutional recognition is key, which shows that privacy needs are not just a passing demand. But I still feel a bit conflicted. DCA sounds easy in theory but hard in practice. Have you really never wavered? Honestly, compared to BTC's transparency, ZEC's privacy features are really appealing, but the risks are very real.
