I had moved it into my Zashi at some point in the weeks or months earlier.

It was just sitting there.

And then I wanted to watch TV.

And so I realized I can click send and scan the Bitcoin QR code on the ProtonMail payment page, right?

And Zosche says, shall I send this mini Zcash?

And I'm like, yeah, okay, I'll pay that mini Zcash.

Right?

Okay, here's the light bulb moment though.

I did that and then I realized...

This revealed nothing about me to ProtonMail, to Netflix, to anybody who's like spying on me at my ISP.

Anybody who's watching the blockchains, all the AIs that are watching the blockchains, there's like zero information about me or my assets or my previous transactions anywhere.

And so...

That was amazing because I didn't need to, like, submit a customer support request to Proton.

I mean, like, please accept Zcash so I can have privacy.

Yep.

That's an unnecessary step.

Well, that was amazing.

And kudos to the current ECC team who built that and made it possible.

And the current Near team who made all the decentralized plumbing infrastructure that made that possible.

And then I literally got to watch TV that night without exposing myself to hackers who were looking to fucking kidnap me.
