Zcash Founder on Privacy, AI, and How ZEC is 'Encrypted Bitcoin' | Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn

Okay, so here's the crazy guru metaphysical thing, okay?

Bankless

Remember, this was if you had the ETH and you thought to yourself, what I want is to have my ETH over in this new wallet that's unlinked.

The AI read your mind.

Bankless
Zcash Founder on Privacy, AI, and How ZEC is 'Encrypted Bitcoin' | Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn

It knows you want that.

Bankless

Or it will eventually.

Bankless

It will eventually figure out that that's what you wanted, okay?

Bankless

But what if you said this?

Bankless

What I want is to convert half of my ETH into SEC.

Bankless
Zcash Founder on Privacy, AI, and How ZEC is 'Encrypted Bitcoin' | Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn

No.

Zcash Founder on Privacy, AI, and How ZEC is 'Encrypted Bitcoin' | Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn
