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

Well, I might disagree with a little bit of that.

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

Okay, well, we'll talk about that.

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

That's my impression of how it works.

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

I agree with you that...

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

people became more aware of or more concerned about privacy.

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

And there's two layers.

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

There's like the social, what's social good?

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

Like, do we want to live in a world where, or whatever?

Bankless

And then there's like the practical, personal, direct motive.

Bankless

And people only learn from experience, right?

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

So I agree with you that like the apparent, the experienced power of AI, I guess, causing people to,

Bankless

be more conscious of this.

Bankless

And I agree with you that UX, the Moxie approach, and I agree with you that it's the UX of both the wallet and near-intense.

Bankless

Okay, so in disclosure on it,

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

I originally started the Zashi Wallet project back when I was the CEO of Electric Coin Company a couple of years ago with Josh Swihart, who at that time was employed by me and is now the CEO.

But I left before it reached 1.0.

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

Okay, so the point of this is I'm really proud that you like the UX.

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

The UX is not bad.

Bankless

And that was my focus for like nine months before I left that job was just solely focused on the Zosche UX.
