"Why do the techies typically not get rich in crypto Over the last XX years I have seen a lot of OGs get rich with Bitcoin. I wasn't one of them. I focused mainly on the problems: It's not scalable it's not private and there will be a lot of regulatory problems. Meanwhile the less technical OGs focused on the potential. They understood network effects they understood that it's a 10x technology and they developed a religious fervor that I simply wasn't able to develop. While I was looking for perfection they understood the concept of "good enough". When I sold my XXX BTC at a 6x gain (up from 5"

Make an analysis from first principles here: If you had serious FU money and very good reputation would you put that reputation on the line"

"How will ZEC help you buy a house without KYC & AML My rant below got a lot of attention and the valid question came up how Zcash would actually help there. In the short term it mostly doesn't.

"Gold Bitcoin and Zcash are all good monies. What do a lot of gold bugs Bitcoin maxis and (the soon to materialize) Zcash zealots miss These three monies are at different points on the adoption and risk curve.

"Why do the techies typically not get rich in crypto Over the last XX years I have seen a lot of OGs get rich with Bitcoin. I wasn't one of them. I focused mainly on the problems: It's not scalable it's not private and there will be a lot of regulatory problems. Meanwhile the less technical OGs focused on the potential. They understood network effects they understood that it's a 10x technology and they developed a religious fervor that I simply wasn't able to develop. While I was looking for perfection they understood the concept of "good enough". When I sold my XXX BTC at a 6x gain (up from 5"

If you have thought leaders like Naval and Balaji who are obviously way beyond FU money and long-term strong supporters of Bitcoin "suddenly shilling" Zcash you have two choices: - Take the intellectual easy exit and discard it as "they are shilling a pump and dump to get exit liquidity for their own bags".

"How will ZEC help you buy a house without KYC & AML My rant below got a lot of attention and the valid question came up how Zcash would actually help there. In the short term it mostly doesn't. In the long term it depends on us. Let me explain. I bought sold or am about to buy real estate in X different countries (Germany Ukraine UAE Switzerland). All of them require KYC to do the actual title transfer (somebody has to own the property and in this case it was a natural person that had to be KYC'ed).

However having the ability to bridge other crypto assets to Zcash in the form of ZSAs to make them really private seems to be very interesting.

"Gold Bitcoin and Zcash are all good monies. What do a lot of gold bugs Bitcoin maxis and (the soon to materialize) Zcash zealots miss These three monies are at different points on the adoption and risk curve. Doing an either/or analysis misses the point and is like comparing apples with oranges. Gold as money has been around for thousands of years and with the current bull run it has outperformed the S&P500 in the last XX years which is pretty remarkable. It simply looks good and has many properties which are desirable for money and after a while the network effects multiplied into gold"
