【Hackers transfer ZEC into private pools—this reminds me of XMR in 2017】
Back then, Monero was used by ransomware all over the world, and outsiders all said privacy coins were tools for crime. But anyone who has actually used privacy coins knows the technology is innocent—the key is who uses it and how.
Now, with the Bitget hacker moving $ 4M of ZEC into a private pool, the media is once again pushing the narrative of “aiding and abetting.” But what I see is something else—Gemini has announced switching to the Zakura node. A block comes out in 25 seconds, cutting the time to one-sixth of before.
This upgrade matters far more than the hacker incident.
Why? The hacker incident is a one-off emotional shock that, at most, affects the price action for a day or two. But optimizing block time is tangible—better user experience, lower on-chain interaction costs, and ecosystem applications can run more smoothly. Once this is actually deployed, that’s when it becomes valuable in the long run.
Right now, ZEC is like some assets from 2019: fundamentals are improving, the price is still low, yet the greed index has returned to 72. With three signals lining up like this, it’s either a trap or a big opportunity. I’ve gone through four cycles, and I’ve seen this kind of combination more than once.
But I want to ask you one more thing: does the business logic of privacy coins really hold up?
ZEC’s technology is fine, but regulatory pressure is real. Privacy is a necessity—but can that necessity turn into stable business demand? That’s the key to whether ZEC can truly run.
What do you think about this move now?
