Pairing a Nasdaq-listed treasury vehicle with 18% of Zcash's hashrate and a 5% ZEC supply target turns a privacy-coin mining bet into an institutionally-backed accumulation play.
The breakaway chain inherited Bitcoin's full mining difficulty while paying miners in a coin with no market, no exchange listing, and no buyers, making the fork economically dead on arrival.
