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

It's that...

Bankless

You can't get privacy from value in flight.

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

You can only get privacy from value at rest.

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

But that gets really confusing.

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

Like, how long does it have to be at rest or something?

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

And it gets really confusing.

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

And I'll tell you a thing, even though I don't know if you or your listeners will believe it.

Bankless

It sounds crazy, but I mean it in a specific technical way.

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

And I'm willing to attach my reputation to this.

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

It's like this.

Bankless

If you had your money in ETH in the clear on ETH at a certain time, and you decided, okay, you know what I want to do?

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

I want to move it over here to like a new ETH wallet where it will also be in the clear, but I'm going to do it in such a way that nobody will be able to figure out that this old wallet is actually owned by the same person.

Bankless

Okay?

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

AIs can read your mind.

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

they can figure out what you're doing better than you can figure out what you're doing.

Bankless

This guy who moved the 5,000.75 ZEC or girl or whatever, AI for all I know.

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

But anyway, this entity that moved the 5,000.75 ZEC took months.

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

He took like three months and he broke it up into different pieces.

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

So he went pretty far along this whole like,

Bankless

be clever and like out with the AI path, okay?
