Can you imagine a time when our favorite blockchain– XMR– is not forking in the right direction? This is not a case for or against Zcash, but a thought experiment.
I agree that we should always celebrate better privacy, decentralization, distribution, and open source technologies.
AND, the opportunity to trade in/out of one asset into another without huge barriers, draconian biometric, digital ID, KYC nightmare slave systems.
It’s not a black and white issue. The measurement of privacy, decentralization, and distribution is subjective, and slides to and fro on a scale of gray.
My thought experiment is this: We should demand our electronic transactions to mimic cash (fungible) in every way possible, and when it doesn’t, we should be FREE to trade out and/or fork off into a network that better serves US.
