DROPS E35: Core DAO 🔶 - Bitcoin yield without giving up your Bitcoin Rich is one of the initial contributors to Core DAO, the leading Bitcoin scaling solution. He's also a long-time Zcash holder and early backer of Z Protocol , a new privacy chain built on Core's Satoshi Plus consensus. We talk Bitcoin yield, financial privacy, AI surveillance, and why the next big move in crypto might not be where most people are looking. We talk about: - How Core DAO lets you earn yield on Bitcoin by time-locking it - without ever giving up custody - Why borrowing against Bitcoin makes sense now - OG Bitcoiners rotating to Zcash - what "transition" actually means and whether it's bad for Bitcoin - Z Protocol as the DeFi layer for private money - Why AI has made financial surveillance trivial - and why that accelerates privacy adoption - How Agents are leaving full financial fingerprints - and why privacy needs to be default on at the chain level And much more...

Kyle Reidhead explains why privacy being inevitable doesn’t make him bullish on Zcash “I’m not bullish on Zcash at all. I think privacy is important, don’t get me wrong, but that’s obvious. This isn’t a narrative. It’s just the basics of finance for most cases, it should probably be private.” “The problem with Zcash is there are no financial services. It’s basically just Bitcoin, which is great, it’s a thing that you hold. But why do we need that to be private? What we want private is DeFi on Ethereum, because we can’t have BlackRock come in, start using Aave, and have everyone read everything they’re doing onchain.”

Ep. 16 | Free The Money | Zcash & ZODL: Why Encryption Wins in an AI Driven World In this episode, I’m joined by Tony Margarit 🛡 , former Finance & Ops at the Electric Coin Company (ECC), the original team behind Zcash 🛡️ and the Zashi wallet. Tony breaks down what’s happening inside the Zcash ecosystem, why the former ECC team launched Zcash Open Development Lab, and what they’re building now with their newly rebranded wallet, Zodl. We talk about the bigger mission: making privacy normal and scaling private digital cash to billions. Tony explains why Zcash isn’t “corporate controlled,” and how decentralized development actually works across multiple teams and contributors. We also discuss Tachyon, a major upcoming upgrade designed to dramatically improve Zcash’s scalability and prepare the network for billions of users. We get into the product leap that matters most for real adoption: world-class UX + real utility. Tony explains Near Intents and why it’s a major unlock, enabling more seamless swaps across ecosystems so users can keep value encrypted while still interacting with other assets. Tony also explains CrossPay as a key bridge to adoption: the ability to pay friends or vendors in the currency they want while keeping your own holdings private. We cover why Zcash still supports transparent transactions, how that helps with exchange access and adoption without weakening shielded privacy, and why Ledger/Trezor shielded support could be a major catalyst for growing the shielded pool. Finally, we go deep on the AI angle — blockchain surveillance, wallet deanonymization, and why encryption (not just obfuscation) matters as AI gets more powerful. We wrap with how zero-knowledge proofs could reshape identity, governance, and everyday verification online. Sign up for ITrustCapital with this link for $100 funding bonus. See why people are opening a tax-advantaged Crypto, Gold & Silver IRA for their future: 00:00 Tony’s Background: From CPA to Crypto 4:44 Why Privacy Clicked During COVID 08:03 What Happened at ECC & Launching Zcash Open Development Lab 11:15 ZODL Wallet: UX, Utility & Why It Matters 12:18 Near Intents & CrossPay: A Major Unlock for Zcash 14:40 Shielded Pool Growth & Hardware Wallet Catalyst 18:57 Transparent vs Shielded Transactions (Why Both Exist) 21:39 AI Surveillance & Blockchain Deanonymization Risks. 25:11 Obfuscation vs Encryption 26:00 AI Agents & Micropayments 27:58 Tachyon: Scaling Zcash to Billions 31:04 Crypto, Taxes & Regulatory Friction 38:04 Zero-Knowledge Proofs Beyond Money 41:50 Privacy is normal

Why have some of the biggest names in crypto been bull posting Zcash 🤔 Are Crypto KOLs and industry leaders being PAID to promote Zcash 🛡️? I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't ask the question. Zcash 🛡️Foundation executive director Alex Bornstein sets the record straight 👇 "We were surprised when these mentions started popping up and then to see that wave just start to spread and then crest was extraordinary. We would never pay anybody or solicit anybody to do that. The Zcash Foundation is a 501(c) public charity. We rely on donations in the US and we have very strict rules on what we can and cannot do. That's just not something we or anybody else in our ecosystem would do. I think there's just a powerful narrative and I think people are just waking up to what Zcash can really accomplish," Bornstein said. The list of big accounts talking frequently about Zcash is unreal 👇 Naval Ansem Arthur Hayes mert | helius.dev Eli Ben-Sasson | Starknet.io threadguy Lark Davis and more... We also delved into the history of Zcash's development and inspiration taken from Bitcoin by zooko🛡🦓🦓🦓 ⓩ and co. It seems the Zcash narrative is really being driven by the realization that privacy is not a given. We'll have to fight for it. You can watch the entire interview on Cointelegraph timeline - I've shared a link in the comments.
