Bitcoin underwent many issues in the early days. ZEC’s price isn’t the only thing behaving like early-day BTC:
Aug 2010 Value Overflow: Transaction in block 74638 created ~184B BTC via integer overflow. Exploited on mainnet. Patched in ~5 hours with soft fork; bad chain reorged at block 74691. Invalid coins never existed on canonical chain
Mar 2013 Chain Fork (BIP 50): Core 0.8 database change caused temporary split with older nodes on large block. ~6-hour fork resolved by pools downgrading. No funds lost or lasting damage
Sept 2018 CVE-2018-17144: Optimization bug allowed potential duplicate inputs and inflation in blocks. DoS + inflation risk. Discovered and patched in days before any mainnet exploitation
