BTC Vs ZEC
BTC and ZEC share PoW, capped supply, and origin in the same codebase, but they occupy very different roles: BTC as a macro‑scale store of value, ZEC as a specialized privacy L1 with stronger technical anonymity and heavier regulatory and liquidity risk. In most portfolios BTC is the core exposure, while ZEC is a higher risk, theme‑driven satellite bet on privacy and zero‑knowledge cryptography.
