“Why is $ZEC going up?” Someone just asked me this I believe it’s a number of obvious (to us in the space) converging circumstances 1. Privacy in an age of agentic surveillance 2. Agent payments 3. Blockchain becoming something Satoshi didn’t foresee Privacy in an age of agentic surveillance means that agents and AI (look at Claude mythos) will know every single thing and digital breadcrumb you leave behind. Having P2P private cash will become increasingly important Agent payments - agents need to pay for a wide array of things. Among them will be goods and services. In some circumstances, they may choose to obfuscate what they’re buying. @zcash is incredibly well positioned to take advantage of this market. Sometimes it’s just about delaying your competitors from seeing what you’re doing and agents will be building business / buying/selling things and not want competitors (other agents) to know what they’re up to all the time. An onchain private cash solves this Blockchain has become institutionalized in many senses. On-ramps and off-ramps as well as inter-chain trading has gotten more institutionalized than most imagined it would. Crosschain DEXes have had a positive impact and will continue to grow positive market share for this but onchain privacy will also play a big role. ZEC could be a great interchain asset for exchanges and individuals alike Overall ZEC’s more well-positioned in the market than almost every other asset to take advantage of a future where PRIVACY MATTERS.. and can you imagine a future where it doesn’t?
