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

And it would be a real shame if they got derailed and didn't

accomplish anything else for the next year or whatever, that would suck.

Bankless

So anyway, I wish them the best.

Bankless

What was my point?

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

Oh, my point was there's a really interesting, really subtle nuance thing about how privacy works.

Bankless

And when I first used Zashi with near intense integration for an actual need for myself,

Bankless

that was like a light bulb moment for me after 30 years or whatever of studying the topic of privacy and like in cryptography and stuff.

And it was this, I, how did this work?

Bankless

My Netflix, so I had a Netflix account.

Bankless

It was tied to a Gmail.

I didn't give it like my real Gmail that I give to everyone else.

Bankless

I gave it a made up to like,

Bankless

disposable Gmail so that Netflix wouldn't be able to, whatever.

But I didn't have recovery procedures that would work to get that Gmail back.

Bankless
