Zcash privacy starts with moving $ZEC into the shielded pool Mert walks through the practical side of using Zcash for privacy rather than simply holding $ZEC for price exposure. "I think the easiest way is on your mobile phone, you download the wallet called Zashi" "It does a swap for you, and then it shields your $ZEC for you as well" "It's literally an internet Swiss bank account, except you're storing Zcash instead" With Zashi, users can swap from assets across Solana, Ethereum or Bitcoin directly into $ZEC. The wallet then handles the shielding process and moves that $ZEC into the shielded pool. That distinction matters because Zcash 🛡️ supports both transparent transactions and shielded transactions. The shielded pool provides the privacy properties mert considers central to the network. His simplest description of the experience: a Swiss vault in your pocket.

Ansem thinks Zcash could be setting up for the kind of move he witnessed with Bitcoin in 2017 "I really do think a 2017 style cycle is possible, especially with the way Zcash is trading" "I joined in 2017 and I saw Bitcoin go from like 3K to 20K" "I really think something similar can happen with Zcash" He is comparing the current $ZEC momentum with the market environment he experienced during his first crypto cycle. Bitcoin went from roughly $1K to nearly $20K in 2017. $ZEC has now gained more than 2,300% over the past year, recently pushing to a new ATH. His thesis is that the magnitude of the move may still have room to expand if Zcash 🛡️ continues attracting capital and attention at this pace. Zcash is starting to feel like a 2017 style trade.

Zcash is the kind of trade Ansem looks for before attention catches up Ansem’s Zcash thesis comes down to technology, people and attention. “Zcash has a lot of the same features as Bitcoin, but it’s quantum-resistant and it’s private.” “When a ton of smart people work on a really hard technological problem, solve it, and the only thing missing is attention, those are typically the best trades.” “Zcash should benefit from Bitcoin doing well, and it should be at a much higher ratio to Bitcoin than it currently is.” ZEC shares much of Bitcoin’s monetary DNA while adding privacy and stronger preparation for quantum risk. Ansem also points to the overlap between early Bitcoin believers and people who recognized Zcash early. The trade becomes especially interesting when strong technical work already exists while market attention still lags behind it. That gap between fundamentals and attention is exactly the type of asymmetry Ansem looks for. He also views $ZEC through its relationship with Bitcoin. A stronger BTC should create a favorable backdrop for Zcash, while Ansem believes the ZEC/BTC ratio still has significant room to re-rate higher. The technology is built. The smart money is paying attention. Ansem is betting the ZEC/BTC ratio eventually catches up. w/ Ansem 🐂🀄️, mert, Zcash 🛡️

Mert thinks Zcash still looks undervalued even after a major repricing “A 10x for Zcash would be 70 billion, which would mean 4,000” “If you look at the market cap of what’s above it and how small it is, I think it’s pretty undervalued” “Nobody knows where that money came from, but you just paid for it on a different chain in private” His valuation case for Zcash goes beyond the ZEC/BTC ratio. At roughly $6 - 7B mcap in his example, a 10x would still put Zcash around $70B, a valuation he considers reasonable relative to larger crypto assets. mert also points to utility as part of that thesis. A user could hold funds privately in Zcash, then pay someone who only accepts USDC on Solana, with the conversion and settlement happening across chains while Zcash provides the privacy layer. That makes Zcash 🛡️ potentially composable with the broader crypto economy rather than operating as an isolated privacy network. w/ mert, MR SHIFT 🦁

But personally, I hold Zcash, because what Solana aims to do is completely different from what Zcash does." "Same with all the major chains except Bitcoin."

Monero-Chan engineering just shipped the first Atomic Private Swap on Solana. How it works: 1) Deposit + shield SOL in Ghost Protocol (Tornado Cash-style shielded pool, engineered for Solana throughput) 2) Swap from inside the shielded pool into public liquidity in one atomic transaction via Ghost Swap (built on top of Ghost Protocol) 3) Hold / swap assets privately and withdraw anytime Ghost Protocol’s architecture is built for high throughput and trust-minimized relayer execution, using zero-knowledge proofs and cryptographic commitments. We're pushing toward Private DeFi primitives that give shielded assets real utility without sacrificing privacy guarantees. Private DeFi coming soon. 👻

afraid I’m gonna get roasted for this, but I did buy some Zcash Curious about the potential of privacy coins and think it’s a solution to a very powerful problem, spending can be too transparent on blockchains I view Zcash as complimentary to Bitcoin and Ethereum. The crypto ecosystem is evolving and growing up my thesis is Zcash /privacy coins could easy be 10-20% of Bitcoin’s market cap, maybe the shadow crypto network will be just as big as Bitcoin … so getting a piece of Zcash at 0.5% of Bitcoin network value made sense Why Zcash over other privacy coins? All gossip, but I’ve heard they have an insanely good technical team. Pioneers of this tech. Also there’s a self fulfilling prophecy network effect ✨ as Zcash takes off its privacy pool gets bigger and bigger making it more useful and more anonymized, as it’s easier to move big sums of value and be hidden. Therefore increasing its intrinsic value Buying something running so fast has got me feeling like an idiot forsure. But can’t get over the idea that privacy coins are going to be a big part of crypto going forward Don’t get me wrong, this is almost bullish for Bitcoin. Zcash needed Bitcoin to establish crypto. Now as the ecosystem matures new coins will pop up, not disrupting the incumbents but complimenting them What do you think ? #ZEC What are your thoughts on privacy coins??

VanEck CEO Jan van Eck on CNBC: “There’s something else going on within the Bitcoin community that non-crypto people need to know about. And that is: ultimately, VanEck has been around before Bitcoin. We will walk away from Bitcoin if we think the thesis is fundamentally broken. We don’t right now, but you always have to look at the underlying technology and the crypto. What the Bitcoin community has been asking itself is: Is there enough encryption in Bitcoin, because quantum computing is coming? And secondly: Is there enough privacy in Bitcoin? And so a lot of Bitcoin OGs or maxis have been looking at Zcash. Zcash is a token. It’s sort of related to Bitcoin with a lot more privacy. The kind of garbage that we got about Bitcoin four years ago was: ‘It’s used for all bad illicit behavior.’ But now everyone kind of realizes that when you move money around on the Bitcoin blockchain, you can see it. You can see it move from one wallet to another. And a lot of people are looking for more privacy.”

Z Protocol: Why We’re Bullish on Zcash as a Engine of Satoshi Plus In an interview with WuBlockchain, Z Protocol Co-Founder Kieran Dennis stated that Zcash shares a foundational architecture with Bitcoin (UTXO and PoW), mapping perfectly onto the Satoshi Plus architecture. Zcash miners can dedicate their hash rate at zero cost to secure Z Protocol, and holders can earn staking rewards through a fully self-custodial model. Furthermore, Z Protocol leverages Zcash's cryptographic primitives, such as the shielded pool, to provide total privacy preservation for the cross-application AI agent experience.

We’re doing photonics now, everything’s an AI bottleneck… anything that could be remotely related to AI that hasn’t pumped, rip that, South Korea stocks now… rip that” “When I saw the metals to full AI to South Korean stock rotation I’m like people are desperate for some reflexivity” “There’s three assets in crypto that just haven’t moved Hyperliquid, Zcash and Bitcoin. Zcash is like an $8B coin… it’s worth nothing” “I’m watching Google add $500B in a day and I’m saying to myself man they’re gonna pop it” “Bitcoin, Zcash and Hyperliquid all of a sudden look good. I was bidding Zcash a little bit but then I just slammed over the weekend” “Bitcoin, Zcash, Hyperliquid are the three set up… I just got the tingle”

Ansem is betting on Zcash reaching 0.1 BTC this cycle “I think Zcash is going to go to 0.1 BTC this cycle.” “I do think things are going to go much higher than they did last cycle.” “I’m betting on higher ceilings across the board.” He remains highly bullish on Zcash, framing the trade in BTC terms rather than giving a fixed USD target. His target is ZEC/BTC at 0.1, alongside a broader thesis that this cycle can produce much higher ceilings across crypto than the previous one. That relative valuation matters. Instead of relying entirely on where Bitcoin trades in dollar terms, the bet requires Zcash to meaningfully outperform BTC as capital rotates further out on the risk curve. Ansem is keeping most of his specific price targets limited, but the conviction on Zcash is clear: 0.1 BTC per $ZEC is the level he’s watching this cycle. w/ Ansem 🐂🀄️
