It's all what I think of as adversarial information theory.

And there's an adversarial information theory reason why you have to be long-zeck, at least

at least the amount of your checking account for at least a month or two, the way you use a checking account.

I think that's interesting.

And I think it's positive because people being long ZEC is good for society.

People have called ZEC encrypted Bitcoin.

Yeah, I like it.

Um...

There's another guy that I really respect, but I guess I won't say his name.

There's this among the many people that I've mentioned in this podcast that I really respect and learn from.

And there's this one guy who said to me, encrypted Bitcoin is the winning meme because it's only two words.

The fewer number of words, the better the meme.

And there's a debate going on in Zcash governance about my work at Sheldon Labs, Crosslink.

I don't know if you're even aware of this.

This is Zcash governance because not all, but a vast majority of Zcashers all have to agree with one another to do a network upgrade, right?

Just like in Ethereum and unlike in Bitcoin.

And so we at Shiloh Labs are advocating and proposing, look, we're building a thing.

We recommend that all the other Zcashers adopt it, maybe in 2026, ideally, which adds staking on top of mining.

Anyway, there's a lot of technical complexity.

And the folks, there is a group of Zcashers who oppose this.
