Z-one

Amid an ocean of pessimism and nihilism in the market, the thesis for Zcash has never been stronger. Exit taxes. Asset seizures masquerading as wealth taxes. Rising authoritarianism. Communism. Infinite fiat inflation. Capital controls. Surveillance states. People need a private store of value. What are their options? - Bitcoin: Fully transparent. Dalio won't touch it because "all transactions are public", making it a non-starter for central banks. Saylor and core devs are completely ignoring quantum risk. - Gold: Private and untraceable, but physical, confiscatable, and doesn't work for a digital economy. Try crossing a border with it or sending it to someone online. - Monero: Decoy-based privacy with an anonymity set of just 16. Japanese police traced it to arrest 18 people. - Tornado Cash: Mixers are a flawed model, AI makes timing analysis trivial. You can't actually use funds while they sit there. - Aztec: Great tech but not lindy and not an SoV, they are tackling a different (important) problem: private compute. Zcash offers battle-tested cryptographic privacy with an anonymity set of millions of notes, is ahead of anyone else on quantum preparedness and has nearly a decade of operation under adversarial conditions. The entities contributing to Zcash are all well funded + ecosystem is growing rapidly with new entrants like @cypherpunk, @ebfull's Tachyon, etc., backed by the people you'd want backing it, including @naval, @tyler and @cameron, @balajis, @mert, among others. The forces driving demand for private money, be it infinite fiat inflation, asset seizures, surveillance states, capital controls, exit taxes, authoritarianism, or quantum risk, aren't going away. They're accelerating. This is a generational thesis, Zcash is not a trade. Act accordingly.
