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

Um...

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

I'm really excited about that.

Bankless

I really love the part you, the comment you made, Ryan, no advertising and no login.

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

Yeah.

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

Yeah.

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

Just repeating it back to you.

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

Yeah, about the Zcash price run up.

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

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

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

There was indeed no, there is no central player in Zcash.

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

It's kind of like Bitcoin, but kind of not.

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

I'm very, very optimistic.

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

It's very encouraging to me with that huge price run up in Zcash.

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

Both, it's just a signal that people do care about privacy.

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

That's the main thing that a lot of people took away from it.

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

So many people told me after that started happening, like, oh, it turns out people do care about privacy.

Bankless

And I think that's valid, like using those kind of aggregate large mass price signals to inform your worldview.

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

I think that's a pretty good thing to do because it's hard to spoof those signals.

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

They aggregate a lot of different kinds of information.

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

So it shows a bunch of people that privacy is valuable to people, is valued.

And one of the things that's pretty different, it might be unique.
