zec vs ltc 2011

Long
BITFINEX:ZECBTC   Zcash / Bitcoin
End of 2011 ltc was added to the btce exchange (symbol on tv: btce:ltcbtc ) . If we copy the chart fractal from ltc during its high inflation phase and overlay it over zec (with a minor stretch) we get the blue bars.
  • The ltc genesis block was created at 7 OCT 2011 and trading started 16 OCT 2011 aka "Instant trading on minor supply" like zcash.
  • The supply of ltc back then was increasing with the same rate (in % terms) as zec today.
  • Both are forks of the bitcoin codebase but with its own blockchain.
  • The only litecoin modification was faster blocktime (2.5min vs 10min) leading to 4x supply of 84m ltc vs 21m btc.
  • Zcash modification is zksnarks shielded transactions (anonymity feature) and faster blocktime but with reduced block reward to keep the 21m supply like btc.

We can have an open mind for that scenario to play out and zec to retest its old highs 0.1btc+ just like ltc did in its early days.
