BitcoinZ is among the very few cryptocurrencies that is following the fundamentals of the classic Bitcoin: it had a totally anonymous launching team, no premine, no ico sales, no instamine. Additionally, it is ideologically based, 100% community driven, minable and with a fair mining rewards halving plan every 4 years.
Obviously BitcoinZ took its “BITCOIN” name because of all these similarities with Bitcoin as it doesn’t target to make a closed team richer but to really offer a gift to the world, a fair network for borderless payments with virtually zero fees.
At the same time it solves many bitcoin’s shortcomings by offering many extra advantages like the Zk-snarks optional cryptography, faster transaction speed, ASIC-Resistant mining algos, higher max supply for easier prices and many more.
These have resulted to the addition of the “Z” to its name, which comes from the “Zk” cryptography or it could possibly be considered as an artistic “2” by some people.
