The zcash people are the worst

If we had listened to them, we would have ditched Bitcoin for a coin that has dropped in purchasing power by 98% against Bitcoin

The worst part isn’t the premine or the PoS migration shenanigans, it’s the moralistic attitude that if you don’t use a coin that has perfect privacy (which zcash is not anyway) then you are putting people in danger

When in reality living in fiat is dangerous

If I had to assign blame it’s that many of them are computer scientists chasing perfect privacy with zero understanding of real world economies etc

It's so bad on twitter with ZEC right now. It's almost insufferable.

Well, the funny part is that if everyone had listened to them, the purchasing power would have beaten bitcoin

You can give them a credit for putting a honeypot on top of their zk implementation, (next to Zerocoin and Zerocash) that for decades existed on a paper only (It was executed badly though with a bug) zk proofs came a long way to be so efficiently small as they are today, even ethereum ecosystem di...

I wonder how many pedophiles work at the NSA just looking to buy Epstein child porn at work without anyone knowing.

Well, I don't know anything about zcash and only little about Bitcoin. But pure logic is enough to conclude that the argument with lost purchasing power is invalid. If everyone had ditched Bitcoin, its purchasing power would have likely dropped against whatever coin that would have gained wide adop...

Privacy is important. It's possible on bitcoin if you're careful / organized.

Hey nostr:nprofile1qqs9336p4f3sctdrtft2wlqaq5upjz9azpgylhfd3dplwf005mfrr9spz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsxnr4z9 since having zero privacy is not dangerous, would you mind posting publicly here your BTC addresses?

Bitcoin is not crypto.

Ima a bitcoin maxi, and I don’t know about the shenanigans behind cash. But still, bitcoin would be better if it were more private. So maybe privacy coins are good in that they provide bitcoin (or least bitcoin layer 2) devs with ideas for improvement?

Saberhagen The Nameless · 16w

So your main criticism is not the premine...or PoS ...it's their attitude towards their factuallly superior privacy vs Bitcoin??? If your privacy is worse how is that NOT putting people at more risk? Especially those in more dangerous situations that you're recommending Bitcoin to? You expect me t...
