I can’t believe I have to say this… Yes, ZCash is cool tech, but it is also a supply-controlled shitcoin, completely unfit for being a Store of Value. Supply distribution matters. A bunch of billionaires owning an equity-like coin? - Who gives a shit. A bunch of billionaires owning a SoV asset that is supposed to replace gold? - Absolute dystopia. There’s a reason both BTC and ETH are in a league of their own when it comes to supply distribution. The majority of their supply was force-distributed at billions, tens of billions, and hundreds of billions of dollars worth of market value, which made it pretty much impossible for a single entity to own a large part of the supply. You can’t simply wake up a dead coin and put a SoV label on it… that might make it pump, and maybe the billionaires even keep the party alive for a while. Hell, even XRP made it to >$250B… But don’t confuse this with actual fundamentals and the decentralization needed to upkeep a new generational SoV. It either happens with BTC and/or ETH, or humanity loses this chance forever.

That's why: The dream of a proper, broadly distributed, digital SoV either lives or dies with BTC and/or ETH. And I certainly don't think distribution of either BTC or ETH is 100% ideal. But it's the best we got. If we fuck this up, we're left with no digital SoV at all or some dystopian shit of single actors literally owning the whole global economy.

@sedonaroxx This doesn't mean they cannot be manipulated or that their distribution couldn't be better… just that they are the best we've got (in this regard) by such a large margin that it's worth fighting for them.
