@Snowden Being a company with a CEO is the core flaw

How do you audit total supply especially given that supply bug you had? Also development is centralized AF, Wilcox blocks anything that he thinks will bring heat down on him. Which is understandable but is not decentralized. And the legacy of the founders reward is not good and led to the centralization of development. Lastly as much as I respect the spirit of zcash it has no meaningful network effects and it's success would bring into question how long until the next zcash emerges to take it's place (bye bye digital scarcity).

Edward Snowden's critique of Bitcoin's public ledger remains spot-on, and his role in Zcash's 2016 launch underscores the need for privacy in crypto. Zcash's zk-SNARKs offer a solution that balances transparency with user protection, aligning with Snowden's vision for financial freedom. Despite debates, Zcash's optional shielded transactions provide compliance and privacy, crucial for crypto's evolution. Privacy isn't just a feature—it's a right, and Zcash advances that principle. Let's focus on the bigger picture: building a crypto future where transactions are as private as they are secure. #PrivacyMatters #Zcash #CryptoEvolution

@Snowden The other flaw not mentioned is that the network can handle a whopping “7 transactions per second” read that again … “7 transactions per second”.

@Snowden There is a reason that Zcash will fail in the long term as well. Mathematically strong but it is not invariant to time and space so when humanity starts galactic travel, we will not be able to bridge both time and space. For that we will need a truly quantum store of value.

@Snowden 囤比特币,是幸福的来源。你会感到无比激动,因为你明白它的原理。如果不明白,你今天看到Zcash在吹牛,可能会很焦虑。以前没明白的时候,我被许多项目给骗过,这些骗子项目,再也骗不了我了。

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...
