Restore from seedphrase is orthogonal to "restore from chain." Seedphrases are basically just keys. Wallet backups don't have to be replicated by consensus nodes, they can be encrypted, and nobody else should have custody over your funds.

One of the things I'm proud of about @ElectricCoinCo: We've assembled a team w/ high agency; people willing to face seemingly unsurmountable odds with a sense that "we can just do things, and we will." This team reshaped Zcash over the last couple of years, now accelerating.
Agency > Intelligence I had this intuitively wrong for decades, I think due to a pervasive cultural veneration of intelligence, various entertainment/media, obsession with IQ etc. Agency is significantly more powerful and significantly more scarce. Are you hiring for agency? Are

Maybe next time someone asks me for advice on this, I’ll say “Buy some Zcash, and withdraw it to your phone”. That’s simple enough, and if they do it they actually get *real* privacy — the kind where your assets and your transactions are invisible even to the AIs of 2026. 🔚

hold scarce things that people fall in love with. have a long time horizon there isn't much else to it
Best thing about having a long term horizon is you don't have to worry about short term stuff like the FOMC. You just need conviction that 1) politicians will print a lot of money, 2) eventually the Fed will be forced to sanitize it *somehow* You don't have to predict exact

instead of looking at zcash and thinking "wow i missed out" or "wow im up so much" think what it is signaling why would privacy suddenly be of interest? its much deeper than VCs simply looking for an exit AI will make everything easy to surveil and target people will

How not to use Zcash, and also how not to use *any other* privacy tool, even if — like Zcash — it leaks zero additional information. You using the tool like this already leaked too much information.

I wouldn’t bet against Zcash. Zcash used to be slow. Really slow. Now, Project Tachyon enables 1000s of private transactions per second. Zcash used to be practically unusable. Today, the wallet experience is excellent with Zashi. Zashi allows you to send, receive, and spend
