This take misunderstands how any distributed chain works, not just $ZEC.
If the entire global power grid goes out, Zcash isn’t the only thing gone.
Bitcoin halts.
Ethereum halts.
Zcash halts
Solana halts
EVERYTHING halts
But they don’t “disappear.”
Zcash being a privacy chain doesn’t magically make it more fragile, it just has different data structures.
The blockchain is still replicated across nodes, not stored inside individual wallets.
If the network goes to zero, it simply resumes from the longest valid chain once nodes come back online. Same as every other L1.
The “one second outage kills Zcash forever” angle just doesn’t hold up.
The real discussion is different:
• Zcash’s proving system is heavier than Bitcoin’s
• Its validator set is smaller
• Its economic security isn’t comparable to BTC/ETH
• Its privacy architecture create unique sync/recovery scenarios
But none of that equals “global power outage = chain deleted.”
Tbh if every machine on Earth goes dark at the same time, trust me, ZEC isn’t the thing you’ll be worried about..
Do you guys realize that if the global power grid goes out for even a second, ZCash is gone... forever?
Since ZCash is a privacy coin, all data is hosted on each individual wallet. There is no centralized backend to store the blocks. That’s what makes it ‘secure’
If one persons power goes out, your funds are safe because the network chain allows you to rejoin the blocks at any point in time.
If EVERYONES power goes out, for just a second, there can be no more validation and your coins are lost forever.
Obviously this is a stretch, but a targeted attack on the global power grid or an EMP effect from astrological influence could easily take it down.
Scary to think about.
