I usually hold spot because paying 10% in funding rate per year for longing an asset makes no sense to me, but for #zec, it’s actaully extra money, even during bear market. $ZEC
the undeniable product market fit we can see now is tradfi perps, and the obvious beneficiaries are mainly perp dexes from @HyperliquidX to perhaps @Aster_DEX,
but the CEXes benfit hugely too imo, which already have huge user base.
thus the platform tokens should benefit, from mainly BNB, to perhaps MNT.
The whole crypto is in bear market, and yet the shielded pool number has not decreased for Zcash, meaning Zcash has an insanely strong community. (which is absolutely fundamental in crypto)
The recent poll shows rejection of ZSAs, and the new update of Zashi wallet to Zodl requires no transfer of fund or typing in secret phrase (no friction for user), tachyon is also set to go live this year.
Both Naval and Balaji are pushing Zcash relentlessly.
You should buy in spot to speculate, instead of guessing which side the funding rate is going to tilt for these sudden open interest + volume rising coins. Been waiting for this for over a month. #FHE
I was at @cz_binance Binance square AMA and I actually laughed hard. (Buying a meme you genuinely find interesting can occasionally be very profitable) #山野万里你是我藏在微风里的欢喜
With Xmr exploding to all time high, that can only mean a few things.
1. Zec is bound to catch up, and is lagging due to recent resignation news. (since Zcash is a better tech than Xmr, for those of you who argue otherwise, you can check for yourself)
2. Xmr's price is falling back down, since it cannot sustain a higher valuation than a better protocol (Zec).
that leads to the analysis of how much higher of a valuation of Xmr is to Zec.
Currently, the market cap (not fdv) of Zec is 6.83B while xmr is at 12.85B.
i would argue this leaves a lot of room for margin of safety.
side note: the fact that Xmr is exploding, it means potential narrative shift to privacy again. ( I think tailwind for privacy is here, not just short term but to stay)
in terms of interest of "privacy" in google search, developed countries are more prevalent. (more potential buying power)
The great people actually share a lot in common in their thinking.
In one of Charlie Munger's clips, he speaks about the human psychology of misjudgement, he mentions the Standford experiment of the guard and prisoner.
In that example, he says it's not just RECIPROCATION TENDENCY and ROLE THEORY (you are expected to act out your role) that caused it, but also CONSISTENCY and COMMITMENT TENDENCY, the more you act out certain behaviour, the more you are pounding that idea into your head.
This resonates with what Jordan Peterson has said, which is: you are what you act out.
he says nobody is sophisticated enough to act one way and be another in their own head.
