Zcash (ZEC)

@zooko explaining the Zcash Network sustainability mechanism. A clip from one of our biggest episodes for 2025 https://t.co/CEjHs9cOV4

another all time high in shielded zcash so, now we have: - zec hashrate ATH & distribution ATH - more miners on the way - zec shielded ATH - the best quantum proofing for an L1 & privacy - reduced blocktimes and sync times + scaling work underway - new dev team backed by balaji, a16z, paradigm working on product, protocol, and wallet - 2 new dev teams working on scaling and physics - new payments teams spinning up all at a time where the market need for privacy, quantum proofing, and internet-native SoVs is increasing zcash is one of the very few things that keeps me fired up about crypto and its future atm

Vlad asked @AbdelStark which altcoins he considers legitimate. He named Zcash, Ethereum, Aztec, Citrea and Alpine. Then clarified he wasn't naming @Starknet because that would be biased. Then spent the next ten minutes explaining why @Starknet solves everything. The conviction in his project was plain to see. Bitcoin Takeover S17E62.

@cakewallet always building @vikrantnyc and the team were working on the Zcash integration for months before the price pump happened. When Monero hit its all time high the same week he launched it. People accused him of deliberately stealing the spotlight. He pointed out that you can't time a two month development cycle around a price chart. Bitcoin Takeover S17E06.

this is extremely good news the most uncomfortable part of zcash for me had been the hashrate concentration in one pool (it was over 60% at one point) but as competition increased, it's now way better and improving every day 1,000 days for encrypted money to win before AOC https://t.co/fLCCwniapw

Threadguy on why understanding the fundamentals behind an attention trade is completely irrelevant "Somebody asked CryptoEthan to explain why ZCash is quantum resistant and he replied 'I have no fucking idea, everybody just says it does.' That's it. It doesn't matter. How is TAO an AI project? I don't know, Jason Calacanis says it is so it's a fucking AI project. And they're gonna scream 'you can't just trade on attention.' Yes you can. I made money. That's it. Case closed."

@mert @deepcandles Surprisingly, you are *under* selling it. AFAIK, NU7 includes quantum recoverability for funds shielded post-release. Critically, that means Zcash can then wait indefinitely, & implement the best q-safe scheme available *when* it becomes imperative. Best possible approach.
