Zcash: Why now?“Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come.” – Victor Hugo I first heard about #zcash around the same time I bought my first #bitcoin in 2017. I saw incredibly smart people working on it and recognized the added benefit of privacy. Still, I didn’t buy it for two reasons: the inflation rate was sky-high, and I didn’t see a pressing need for privacy. Unless you were a criminal, it seemed like no one cared. Privacy by obscurity was sufficient for the average user. Both of those reasons not to buy Zcash no longer apply. Inflation is now reasonable I’m not sure using Bitcoin’s supply curve was the best choice in a post-Bitcoin world. One could argue that better distribution might have been achieved by attracting more users with a more stable currency, rather than punishing early holders with high inflation. But what’s done is done. Today, Zcash’s inflation rate has reached a level where holding some makes sense. It's also now roughly equivalent to Bitcoin's during its first major "mainstream" expansion in 2017. Why is Privacy Important We now live in a society where I can open Venmo and see transaction details from friends settling bills—dinners, Airbnb shares, you name it. Most people don’t mind this level of exposure among friends. But current blockchain implementations aren’t just visible to friends—they’re visible to everyone. Imagine a version of Venmo where your bank balance, pay stubs, and large purchases are public.

Right now, privacy by obscurity gives most unknown users some peace. But if that privacy disappears, who will criminals target? You’ve effectively put a bounty on yourself.

“Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come.” – Victor Hugo

I first heard about #zcash around the same time I bought my first #bitcoin in 2017. I saw incredibly smart people working on it and recognized the added benefit of privacy. Still, I didn’t buy it for two reasons: the inflation rate was sky-high, and I didn’t see a pressing need for privacy. Unless you were a criminal, it seemed like no one cared. Privacy by obscurity was sufficient for the average user.
Both of those reasons not to buy Zcash no longer apply.
Inflation is now reasonable
I’m not sure using Bitcoin’s supply curve was the best choice in a post-Bitcoin world. One could argue that better distribution might have been achieved by attracting more users with a more stable currency, rather than punishing early holders with high inflation. But what’s done is done.
Today, Zcash’s inflation rate has reached a level where holding some makes sense. It's also now roughly equivalent to Bitcoin's during its first major "mainstream" expansion in 2017.
