if you look at an aquarium for a few seconds, it is comically identical to CT
fish wandering aimlessly -- reacting and panicking to any small stimulus, getting constantly baited, and possessing zero time horizon
simply hold, chill, and be deliberate when you move

i expect culture and collective belief to become increasingly valuable as AI continues to scale
if quantum risk becomes a serious concern for Bitcoin, i can see a path where Zcash attracts a much larger valuation through its privacy and store-of-value thesis
i also think Murad's broader thesis is directionally correct, even if a pure memecoin flipping Bitcoin seems extremely unlikely
in a world where AI commoditizes intelligence, attention, culture and assets people genuinely believe in could command an enormous premium

Here's our plan for quantum-safe, unlinkable, rotating taddrs. Possible with Zcash, today.
While others are worrying about the viability of rotating transparent addresses, we're already solving linkability.

Doug Colkitt explains why Zcash is one of the safer coins to be in 'Bunker Mode'
"For a doom scenario I think Zcash is actually better positioned especially if you have shielded ZEC. Because, shielding gives you two layers of security where one is your signature and the other is basically no one knows your signature"
"If you have to go to 'Bunker Mode' as Justin Drake says then Zcash is probably one of the better places you can go"

would be cool if there were a project designed with "bunker mode" in mind since day 1 with the best cryptographers, quantum plan, and privacy in the industry
zcash was quite literally created for this
and btw, no, do not move your funds no matter what chain youre on

When I started Coinbase, getting a bank to work with us at all was nearly impossible.
Now Citi is partnering with us to bring stablecoins to institutions.
We’ve come a long way from 2012. Thank you @Citi.
We're bringing stablecoins into the banking system with @Citi.
That means instant stablecoin acceptance for institutions - all on bank-grade, regulated infrastructure.
The next step for stablecoins becoming everyday money.

Assets with digital currency use case: $XRP, $LTC, $BTC, and $ZEC.
Zcash has continued to capture market share, going from ~0.1% of Bitcoin's market cap a year ago ($ZEC price: ~$60) to ~1.5% today ($ZEC price: ~$1,500).
As demand for privacy grows, Grayscale Research believes Zcash can keep capturing market share.

Assets you swore you'd never sell:
- HYPE
- ZEC
Assets you can now instantly borrow up to $100k against instead of selling:
- HYPE
- ZEC
Guess that works out.

I’ve never been more bullish on anything as I am on $ZEC.
It has a cracked and functional dev team. It’s quantum recoverable. It doesn’t have the Saylor overhang.
On narrative it's a simple pitch. Everyone missed Bitcoin but actually Bitcoin has some problems and now maybe you get another go. When you zoom all the way out on the chart it has the helpful first candle that makes everything since look small. It implements Satoshi's original digital cash vision which Bitcoin failed to achieve.
It's not tied to fundamentals - it's only comp is Bitcoin which is 50x the price. So in a bull market it can absorb all the excess liquidity.
And right now people are targeting 10% of Bitcoin's price as a goal. But if it gets there the goal will shift to a full flippening. And at that point it would seem possible.
Tbh I think maybe it is possible.
