You're a man.
Neverrrrrrrr look desperate.
Suffer in silence.
Stand tall when life beats you down.
It's just your turn. Every great man bleeds before he conquers.
Be a man.
Zcash was born from a cryptographic ritual so secretive
that Edward Snowden participated in it anonymously
A ritual where the entire supply could be infinite without anyone knowing
2013: Bitcoin researchers from Johns Hopkins create Zerocoin
a protocol designed to erase transaction history completely
the idea sounds simple
burn coins → recreate them anonymously
Bitcoin developers reject it
too dangerous, too experimental months later Zerocash appears and introduces zk-SNARKs
a form of cryptography that hides
- the sender
- the receiver
- the amount
- the balances
problem: the system needs a “trusted setup”
a secret master key is generated at launch if someone keeps a copy they can forge unlimited Zcash forever
2015: project abandons Bitcoin completely
Zooko Wilcox launches a standalone chain
October 2016: zcash:native goes live
same 21M supply as Bitcoin but with optional hidden transactions
the ceremony:
- six people selected
- identities partially hidden
- hardware isolated from the internet
participants generate fragments of the cryptographic key
then destroy them forever
one participant reportedly uses
- Faraday cages
- air-gapped computers
- random travel routes
- physical destruction of hardware in the desert
the fragments become known as
“toxic waste”
because if even one survives the entire system can be compromised forever
for years the sixth participant remains anonymous
under the name “John Dobbertin”
2022: identity finally revealed
Edward Snowden
says he joined because Bitcoin’s transparency was a “huge flaw”
He literally took no payment, participated purely for privacy ideology
2018: Sapling upgrade makes private transactions small enough for mobile devices
Zcash survives multiple bear markets while most privacy coins die or get delisted
2026: former Zcash leaders launch Zodl
a new $25M company backed by Paradigm, Coinbase Ventures and a16z
and today Zcash is worth billions
Don’t wait to forgive someone till they apologise. You may end up waiting forever. Remember, it’s easy to hold a grudge and it’s easy to lay blame. But by doing so, you’re allowing others to have power over you. For the sake of closure and healing, you should forgive and move on.
