When I was scrolling X today and saw a quote from Zcash founder @Tyler from 2025: “Privacy is the precondition for many of our freedoms.”
Indeed, privacy isn’t about hiding—it’s the prerequisite for many freedoms: it’s the boundary that governments and companies can’t cross. Beyond that boundary is an individual’s self-sovereignty.
As more of life moves online, privacy has become scarce and is disappearing.
So they created Cypherpunk / Zcash.
Without privately encrypted space, so-called freedom is only permitted freedom.
