Even before the failed launch of ZenCash on the Bittrex exchange, rumors were circulating that the cryptocurrency was a front for nefarious actors including Amazon, the American Deep State, and the NSA. The whispers gained traction as Rob Viglione, one of the main ZenCash developers, opened his presentation by telling the crowd that he was ex-military, a college professor, and currently working on his P.H.D. in finance. He was proud that he had helped transact the first cryptocurrency trade in Afghanistan, and unconcerned that splitting ZenCash was inflating his digital currency.
And the kicker? ZenCash will not be launching on Bittrex, at least not tonight as planned. Why? According to the developers, a bug was found two hours before launch, and no one could figure out how to fix it before the party. Should you invest? Only if you think you can pump and dump better than the banks who have backed this ever-forking/inflated cryptocurrency.
