TL;DR - Solana is positioned to take over and become the internet's capital market - We are making progress on our weaknesses in monetary policy and derivatives - Zcash remains the most asymmetric and important opportunity in crypto - I love crypto

AI is great, but it does not protect you against inflation or the ability for AI to surveill your past and future financial activity forever. Zcash does.

$ZEC / $USD - Update I am looking for that upside to come in, but would like to see us consolidate here for a bit longer to re accumulate.

A TradingView chart of $ZECUSDT perpetual contract on Binance shows price action consolidating around the 558.37 level after a recent pullback, with the caption reflecting the trader's expectation of further upside following a period of reaccumulation near horizontal support.

$ZEC / $USD - Update ZEC is not not done yet IMO, we still have another few legs up to go. Looking to play one of these scenarios

$ZEC the trend is still your friend and dips are for buying. It does get a little sketchier around here imo but this still probably goes to $650+ imo as long as bitcoin is stable. Still a good choice for this run

A TradingView daily candlestick chart of Zcash (ZEC/USD) shows a strong uptrend with price action rising above the 50, 100, and 200 EMAs (172.10, 162.69, 146.72) to current levels near 186.77, supporting the post's bullish thesis that dips remain buying opportunities with potential to reach $650+.

. @mert on Zcash's privacy stack: "It's fully vertically integrated, network level, miner level, metadata level. Privacy is the absence of leaks, and unless you build the pipes to stop them from the start, they'll show up." Zcash is irreplaceable. [Spoken audio]: Right and also like the privacy is fully vertically integrated in that it's everything from the network level to the minor level to the Like metadata level. It's completely vertical versus on Solana. You can get pretty close But for the most most serious people you probably will never be able to match that exact level just because you can't it's sort of similar to why don't we just add scale to this blockchain by adding L2s? It's like, you can do that, but there are problems that will arise with it because you're gonna have a lot of leaks, right? Because privacy is actually the absence of something. It's the absence of information leaks. And so unless you build the pipes to minimize leaks to begin with, then there's gonna be leaks. And

If $ZEC can hold this retest of the $540 breakout pivot as HTF support, we should see a push towards the $620 resistance. That level is the right shoulder of the head and shoulders top from May, and it's the last meaningful lower high left on the chart to take. Break above

If you value privacy, understand this: A transparent blockchain does not just reveal transactions. It can reveal balances, spending habits and financial relationships. Privacy is not about hiding. It is about having control. That is why $ZEC matters.

ZEC/USDT 1H Chart: Local Bottom Or Falling Knife? Just peeped the ZEC/USDT 1H chart on BYDFI and man, it’s been a rough ride past few days. We’re crab-walking around $384 right now after that dip. I’m kinda torn here. On one hand, the whole transition to the hybrid PoW/PoS model has the tech heads hyped, and some whales might be accumulation-mode activated. On the other hand, regulators are constantly breathing down privacy coins' necks, so a lot of folks are paper-handing out of fear. Are we looking at a local bottom ready to moon, or are we sleeping on a falling knife? Personally, I’m just bagholding and sitting on my hands for now. What’s your take? Anyone else buying this dip on BYDFI or are y'all staying far away?
