Zcash Is The ‘Better Bitcoin’ Satoshi Couldn’t Build, Says Helius Labs CEO

According to Mumtaz, Zcash is essentially a “secret Bitcoin.” You know, like an encrypted version of Bitcoin that would have made Satoshi and Hal Finney do a double-take back in the day. In fact, they were so into the idea that they even posted, “If we knew how to add ZK proofs to Bitcoin, it would make it a better Bitcoin.” Of course, this was 2010, and, oops, they didn’t have the tech for it. But hey, now they do, and here we are. Zcash basically carries Bitcoin’s economic blueprint while ditching all the messy “probabilistic obfuscation” in favor of actual encryption. So, no more sleight-of-hand tricks. 🧙‍♂️✨

JP Morgan’s Crypto Betrayal: Bitcoin in the Gulags? 😈🚀
