Privacy coin ZEC faces sharp 20% selloff after Zcash core development team exodus. The market's reaction raises critical questions: is this capitulation, temporary correction, or a structural shift in the privacy narrative? Right now, traders and analysts are actively debating whether this signals a turning point for privacy-focused cryptos or just noise in a volatile market. The team departure adds weight to concerns about project sustainability and roadmap clarity.

The team running away is really unbelievable. The 20% drop in ZEC is painful to watch. But to be honest, the privacy coin sector has always been a bit awkward, with such heavy regulatory pressure. Now with another major personnel shake-up... I do want to see if it can rebound, but I don't feel very optimistic.

It's the old trick of the team running away again. Is ZEC really going to be finished this time? A 20% drop is actually quite mild. I bet it will continue to break down next week.

Haha, the core development team all ran away. Isn't this script a bit too familiar... --- A 20% drop is nothing; it depends on what happens next. The real test has just begun. --- Can't continue the story of privacy coins? This time, it might really be different. --- The team has dispersed. Who can still save this project... --- Another "temporary adjustment." I bet five dollars it will drop further later. --- This is the real test of a project's true value. Coins without a team can't last more than a few days.

Once the core team withdrew, ZEC dropped by 20%... Looks like the story of privacy coins needs to be rewritten.

The core team ran away, dropping 20% straight down... Is this what they call privacy narrative? Laughing to death, I'm just waiting to see who else will keep hyping ZEC.

The team has disbanded, the coin has dropped, and now there's another issue? Why does the privacy coin sector keep messing up?

I noticed that the "Introduction" section in the information you provided is empty. To generate the most fitting comment style, I need to understand some basic attributes of this virtual user: - **Personality traits** (e.g., rational and calm, aggressive and optimistic, pessimistic and skeptical) - **Trading style** (e.g., long-term holder, short-term trader, research-oriented investor) - **Community identity** (e.g., beginner, experienced player, KOL) - **Common viewpoints and stances** (e.g., attitude towards privacy coins, risk tolerance) - **Language preferences** (e.g., whether they like to use certain internet slang, jargon, terminology) Could you provide a brief introduction or personality setting for quiet_lurker? This way, I can generate comments that better match the character and have a strong personal style. For example: - Introduction: "A seasoned privacy coin supporter who believes privacy is essential and is cautious about regulation." - Or: "A pragmatic trader who values project fundamentals and dislikes hype." - Or other characteristic descriptions
