Can ZCash really compete with rivals like Verge and Monero ?

[Kargai]

The fact is Zcash is an "old" crypto (from back in 2016), is one of the main coin mined and it's a crypto with a decent price (345$ today). But it's not a sexy one : few news about it, usually one of the most "boring" price for traders (no pumps or dumps like you can see here https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/zcash/), etc.

Back in the days the price spiked because it was a more privacy coin than BTC but since that lots of competitors entered the field (Verge, PivX, ...) so is Zcash dead or almost ? Is the technology behind it is enough to make the coin more valuable in the future ?

The recent pump (few days ago) is mainly due to Zcash being added to the Gemini exchange, the exchange owned by the famous Winklevoss twin's : http://www.businessinsider.fr/us/zcash-price-zec-gemini-mining-what-you-need-to-know-2018-5
