Zcash (ZEC) is gaining attention for its alignment with the cypherpunk ethos and potential to provide financial sovereignty through private transactions. There is growing interest from the Solana community, with many seeing the importance of strong privacy features. ZEC is being promoted as a way to achieve financial freedom, with users encouraged to hold the coin and use private communication tools like Signal and Nym.

"otoh it will only become easier for govts to map all your digital transactions / assets to your physical person unless you have the ability to fully encrypt them (which is not the case for btc) you can imagine law enforcement showing up at your door for holding an asset or making a transaction they don't approve of (in a similar vein to what's been happening in the UK and germany re social media posts) so the strength of btc's seizure resistance while arguably better than gold's is severely diluted in the age of ai (something something zcash) I think it is ENTIRELY possible that a future US"

"to maximize your chances of resisting asset seizures in the age of ai you need both strong privacy (read full fungibility) AND the ability to move said assets across borders frictionlessly gold has the former via unnumbered coins and melting / recasting btc has the latter thanks to cryptography and the internet but there is only one asset that satisfies both of these conditions what it feels like to hold shielded zec (the internet's swiss vault) https://t.co/AQTOcGDe75 what it feels like to hold shielded zec (the internet's swiss vault) https://t.co/AQTOcGDe75"

"zcash thesis: "The original BTC run was Chinese high net worth individuals. We have a mental model of what this looks like. More repression. More capital controls.

"if youre buying zec today download @zashi_app send some of it there and shield it when its shielded you're effectively holding it in an encyrpted black hole that can't be surveilled forget about it for a few weeks if you can (this is how you get strong privacy) after that you can send smaller amounts out when you want/need to use it you can swap within the app with near intents. sending to @payy_link usdc is pretty good for spending privately bonus: download @nym (pay for it in zec) and use it as your mixnet. get a @KeystoneWallet and interact with zashi with a hardware wallet @r1csqap"
