"Patience pays off in crypto — look at Zcash"
When investing in crypto, it’s often time — not timing — that makes the difference. Take Zcash as an example.
On May 09, 2022, the price of ZEC was around 93.71 USD.
Today, ZEC is around 362–365 USD.
This represents a gain multiplied by ~3.9 (or nearly +290%) over this period of about 3.5 years.
Lesson: those who were able to stay calm, ignore the noise, be patient, and keep their ZEC "in cash" have seen their patience rewarded.
Why patience has been a good strategy
Zcash did not explode overnight — it went through long phases of stagnation, doubts, and sometimes even decline.
But in the long term, the project has maintained its fundamentals: crypto respecting privacy, limited supply (max. 21 M ZEC) and constant technical developments.
When the market returned — when the demand for privacy cryptos revived — it was patience that allowed for capturing the rise.
Message for you — or for anyone dreaming of succeeding in crypto
Don’t necessarily try to 'time' the top. If you believe in the project, invest — and let time work for you.
The strongest gains do not come from quick spikes, but from long-term holds.
In the case of Zcash, those who were able to hold between 2022 and 2025 saw their investment nearly quadruple.
Crypto is not a sprint — it’s a marathon. Those who run fast may burn out, but those who hold the distance often finish ahead.
