Tulip King explains why Zcash demand scales exponentially with wealth
"If you have $1000 you don't care if people know, you'll fully dox your wallet and P&L. But if you have $1M, maybe you want to keep $100k private. If you have $1B, maybe you want to hide half of that. The richest people in the world aren't Elon, they're the Saudi royal family, Putin, Kim Jong-un, autocrats who basically own entire GDPs. 100% of their money is private."
"So there's an exponential return to privacy where the richer you are, the higher percent of your money you want private. As Zcash gets bigger and can absorb larger flows, larger players buy it with a higher percent of their net worth, which creates this multiplier effect being pulled from the top. Privacy compounds in the shielded pool, the pool gets bigger, it becomes more private, so it's plus EV to hold because every block it gets better. That's how you get Zcash to a trillion."
