When people in the FBI tell me that they'd much rather have criminals use Bitcoin than $100 bills, it suggests that maybe it's not quite working the way it was supposed to. - Peter Thiel

.@vladcostea on Zcash: "To a great degree, Zcash is like Bitcoin in 2013: the enthusiasm, the adoption happening in such a short time, and the mistakes along the way that strengthen the protocol but also scare away some market participants." Early.

.mert on Zcash: "Zcash pioneered ZK-SNARKs, the first production system on the planet. The whole internet runs on cryptography, yet the financial system makes no use of it. Privacy is the missing piece." Zcash is winning.

.mert on why he believes in Zcash: "While there are still people in jail for writing privacy code, this is the time to make the push. Zcash embodies what the cypherpunks built crypto for: cryptography for individual rights and privacy." The original thesis is still intact.

Mert on what most of crypto missed about Zcash: "Zcash is the first team on Earth to have deployed ZK in production. The people behind it are literally the best in the world. Some are still working on it." Ten years of world experts on one problem. The moat is the people.

.Sean Bowe on why Zcash has never needed a privacy upgrade: "We've never done a privacy upgrade in Zcash because we haven't had to. Our protocol already used ledger indistinguishability from the very beginning, and that captures every single privacy problem on-chain we need to worry about." Zcash had maximum privacy from day one.

Josh Swihart on Zcash's real TAM: Swiss banks as a TAM? Too small. The TAM is billions of users, not just a select few who can afford to move their wealth into an offshore account. Privacy isn't for the wealthy. It's for everyone.

There's many problems that Zcash solves, including obviously privacy, simplicity, a roadmap for quantum resilience, scalability, some degree of lindyness given it's been around for 10 years, and got a good security track record. Balaji

“The idea is that this is the eyes and ears for AI” In 2027 we’ll wake up to a world where everyone is wearing AI cameras on their face. Privacy will be extinct. And the biggest opportunity of the next decade will be giving it back.
