Why Zcash?
All of crypto is an open database that is traceable. If you want self sovereign money safe from government overreach and seizure, it also needs to be undetectable.
Zcash has the same economic policy as Bitcoin (21m total coins, same halving schedule started later), but it becomes entirely fungible by encrypting the ledger. When you realize that even Satoshi himself can’t use his Bitcoin, the importance of total encryption hits home.
I think this gets more important as we face the confluence of
1) USD monetary issues via money printing, inflation and unlimited debt,
2) the rise of communist movements and authoritarian wealth seizures, and
3) the massive increases in AI capabilities leading to more tracking and surveillance
When Bitcoin was started in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, the concern over money printing aka “quantitative easing” was just beginning, it was not yet obvious there would be a problem.
At the same time, money as system of control was merely an issue for terrorists and murders. Now the theoretical issue has become real as freezing or confiscation of political adversaries becomes more common.
Today we face all these pressures at the same time: monetary debasement, political censorship, and hyper surveillance.
These were less apparent when Bitcoin was started, and the threat of hyper surveillance was not solved until Zcash forked Bitcoin’s code and made it encrypted Bitcoin.
This is why Zcash.
Zcash, not communism.

Shielded Bitcoin vs Zcash:
Shielded Bitcoin is pretty clever tech given the constraints, but there’s a big gap that Zcash provides.
- Zcash: zk-proof of shielded transaction is validated by the miner at block inclusion. Invalid proofs are not included in the block, therefore you know any proof onchain is valid.
- Shielded Bitcoin: zk-proof is just stored on Bitcoin without checking for validity. A separate network is needed to determine if the proofs are valid and reconstruct the Sheilded transaction state. You can’t use the Shielded pool with Bitcoin Consensus alone, very much how most L2s function. Interestingly, this seems to be a massive technical improvement over the Lightning Network!
Am unclear on how or why the secondary network would function without PoW rewards.
An important detail is left to research, which is how the lock/unlock of L1 transparent BTC will work in practice. Look forward to seeing what they find here.
JUST IN: Researchers propose framework for private transfers on Bitcoin without a need for a soft fork 👀

They were right and I was wrong.
Trump is the instrument through which ASI immanentizes itself on this planet. All the kakistocracy, nepotism, and human rights abuses pale into irrelevance.
Voting for Trump in 2024 was the right choice. karlin.blog/p/trumpism-cant-… MAGA Strong! 🇺🇸

“That’s shielded Zcash, I can’t [trace it]”
“Wait that shit really works??”
*raises price target*
Threadguy on the moment he realized Zcash privacy actually works
"I was DMing one of the guys from the Hyperdash team and I was like, can you find this wallet? He's like yeah, give me a PNL and I can find anyone's wallet. I'm like all right, can you find this? He's like, yo, that's shielded Zcash, I can't. I was like, wait, it really works like that? He's like brother, it's in the shielded pool. And I was like, wait, it actually works. And he's like, yeah, of course it works. And I'm like, raise my fucking targets. I didn't realize it actually worked. I didn't realize you could just shield it like that."

Modern life created fragility.
The ensuing chaos will resurrect anti-fragility.
I hope you like chaos dawg.

Zcash mining pools are accelerating!
ViaBTC Notice on Testing the Zcash Zakura Node
Dear ViaBTC users and community partners,
We've been following the community's recent discussions around the Zakura node with close attention, and we appreciate everyone who has shared their views with us.
We'd like to let you know that our team has begun testing Zakura, evaluating its stability, compatibility, and real-world performance. The process is still at an early stage, so there is limited detail to share for now. That said, we'd rather keep you informed about the work underway than leave you guessing.
We'll provide further updates through our official channels as testing progresses, and we welcome your continued feedback along the way.

The “slowdown request” is actually an attempt to absolve themselves of liability
🚨BREAKING: Jensen Huang just EXPOSED Dario and Altman’s "Rogue AI" grift to avoid getting sued into oblivion under EXISTING law
“Don't let this doomsday narrative cause somebody to relieve them of the laws that currently exist.
Go and read between the lines. They're actually not asking for more laws; they're asking to be relieved of the laws we do have.”
ABSOLUTE TRUTH NUKE

Turns out the market and current regulatory framework already has ways to force slow downs in an adaptive matter: legal liability for damages.
The labs will figure out safety real quick all of a sudden if they risk being liable for a model hacking

Omg there’s someone smart in the government
🔥 @SecScottBessent puts AI labs demanding government protection on NOTICE:
“You cannot say, ‘We absolve you of responsibility, and the government’s gonna take responsibility.’”
“These labs need to take responsibility for themselves. They can slow down any time they want to.”

Zcash mentioned
Rep. Thomas Massie: “We didn’t get out of Covid because we have strong leaders.”
“We got out of Covid because some of you said: I’m not gonna comply.”
“If just like 5 or 10% of us do not comply … the system will fall apart.”
“Do that wherever you can.”
“Your finances.”
“How your kids get educated.”
“Where you buy your food.”
Non-compliance is one of the strongest tools that the health freedom movement has.
We’re winning huge victories and making historic progress at the state and local level in getting medical mandates outlawed.
In 2025, our Founder and President Leslie Manookian got almost all medical mandates banned in Idaho with the Idaho Medical Freedom Act.
Including vaccines.
Now, we’re leading the Medical Freedom Act Coalition alongside Stand for Health Freedom and over a dozen more MAHA/health freedom organizations to get that law passed in as many states as possible.
But tens of millions of Americans live under state governments that vehemently oppose your right to health freedom.
And as we saw during Covid, the federal government will do everything they can to scare you and push you into compliance.
Those who refused are the reason we finally ended the era of lockdowns and mandates.
