First line says everything in @hosseeb's post Confusion = FUD FUD = Opportunity You recall what happened when @jswihart and the Zcash team resigned to reconfigure a better entity setup for long-term @Zcash adoption a few months ago? Mass confusion Mass FUD Meanwhile, the $ZEC shielded pool has seen 1% of 31% unshield and remove their tokens That's a huge signal that those with the most to lose are comfy in Orchard and feel secure. Whereas transparent $ZEC holders have only price action downside You're seeing every "KOL" and "trader" calling for doomsday and saying: > "I told you so" > "Monero is so much better" > "Zcash is a VC scam" Most of these people lack basic critical thinking, as do most people on CT, so be careful of how much FUD you want to consume Will explain clearly what will happen next: > Zcash with formally verify their protocol with everything 100% provable by math in the next few weeks/months > Zcash will continue to quantum-proof the chain to ensure $ZEC stays hard money immutably > Zcash will implement a new shielded pool with upgrades or do a network upgrade in the coming months (NU7) During this time, I believe it's likely: > FUD continues and confusion grows > Price shakes out hard and finds a bottom > We realize the Orchard Pool wasn't exploited > The demand for private, hard money grows > Demand flows back into $ZEC long term If you're looking for credible info, would check posts from @mert, @ebfull, @cypherpunk, @cameron, @tyler, @zooko, @Senpai_Gideon Privacy is not a meta or a trend It was the core pillar of crypto If you believe in that, then patching a software bug is not something to derail your Zcash thesis
