🚨 HASEEB: ZCASH IS INSURANCE AGAINST BITCOIN’S RISKS
@hosseeb frames Zcash as a hedge for Bitcoin holders who believe in money outside government control.
“Very simple, just Bitcoin, but private.”
“The way that Naval often describes it is that it's an insurance policy on your Bitcoin.”
“Part of the value of being non-sovereign currency is that it cannot be seized from you.”
He argues that Bitcoin could struggle to adapt quickly enough to a major cryptographic transition, while claiming Zcash has already chosen a response.
“Bitcoin might not get its shit together in time to survive such a transition.”
“I think increasingly the right way to think about Zcash is that it's an insurance policy against Bitcoin.”

I'm really excited about this vision. ACK.
These are ambitious goals but all doable; we've done far more in much less time, just in the last six months alone. We need to work this hard for Zcash to win. And because it's worth doing, it'll be fun too!
A vision for Zcash L1, January 2027
- Scale: Achieve 200 shielded TPS
- Uses Tachyon & a 4x block size increase
- Post-Quantum:
- Unconditional Post-quantum Privacy live
- PQ Transparent
- Sapling deposit disable date set, users must go QR
- Longevity: Software wallets and hardware wallets stop breaking every NU.
Hope the community rallies around landing it forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/v… !

This quoted post is unavailable.
rasmr is seriously so gd retarded and unlikable
him having a zcash position is the most bearish catalyst i can think of rn tbh
Rasmr asks Taiki or Mert to explain why Zcash is better than Monero, despite ZEC already being his biggest position.
“I need help though. I need help”
“I need to see it so that I can repeat it as if it’s my own”
“I need some help, Mert. Why is Zcash better than XMR?”
“Zcash is my biggest position by far right now”

The reason $ZEC will go parabolic is because Bitcoin will face a crisis of confidence in the coming years, and ZEC will take its lunch.
Those who blindly believe BTC will hit new highs every few years will have those assumptions challenged.
Their ignorance/bias is your alpha.
$ZEC is an extremely misunderstood asset, which is why there's still so much upside left.
ZEC started to bottom around April 2025, when @ebfull shared a blog post about Project Tachyon. Tachyon makes Zcash quantum proof and paves the way to scale Zcash to 50k TPS. And you cannot address quantum without addressing scalability since post-quantum cryptographic signatures are going to be an order of magnitude larger.
At the risk of sounding hyperbolic, the real bull case for Zcash is to fulfill Satoshi's vision: becoming peer-to-peer electronic digital cash. What many Bitcoiners gave up on. Zcash has the same properties as BTC, except it has a credible roadmap to scale to 50k TPS at the base layer, with built-in privacy. It's extremely ambitious, but that is the vision.
At the same time, I expect Bitcoin to undergo a crisis of confidence. Crypto participants have been conditioned to blindly believe BTC will hit new highs every couple of years. I believe these assumptions will be challenged as the quantum overhang looms large, and continued underperformance will drive more flows into ZEC. I would not be surprised if BTC trades like ETH last cycle.
Peter Thiel talks about the "Last Mover Advantage." That is, it's far better to make the last great development in a market and then dominate. Facebook vs Myspace. Google vs Yahoo. Zcash has dominated a small niche (privacy), and then it plans to scale to the ambitious goal, which is peer-to-peer electronic cash.
The ZEC trade closely resembles the SOL trade last cycle. ZEC's ability to move fast challenges a slow-moving incumbent (BTC), similar to how SOL challenged the ivory tower of ETH. History doesn't repeat, but it often rhymes.
There’s a fundamental mismatch between why Zcash is going up (Tachyon + last mover advantage) and the broader market’s understanding ("just a privacy coin"). Understanding this is a form of alpha/edge. I expect this knowledge gap to close when Tachyon hits mainnet in Q1 2027.
As a result, I expect the following over the next 1-2yrs:
1) Bitcoiners will start "silent quitting" and begin hedging their holdings with ZEC
2) Capital allocators that may have full ported BTC 5 years ago, will buy both ZEC and BTC as a bet on a sovereign SoV
3) Smart crypto developers to move on from other ecosystems to start contributing to Zcash
4) As ZEC continues to outperform BTC, people will start to seriously entertain the possibility of a flippening
5) $20,000 ZEC
Zigher.
