@mert does Zcash have a mascot?

@mert zcash will make more manlets

@mert How zcash at $1000 looks at us x.com/FragzSol/status/20919513…

@mert Never changing the plans 🤝📌

@mert you don't have to use the shield to want it to exist, that's the whole point people keep missing

@mert Privacy for the masses x.com/moneystoreheist/status/2…

@mert I wanna vroom vroom you x.com/mertcedessol/status/2091…

@mert Zillions

@mert the privacy argument equals photos

@mert The governments dont like it man. I have no idea how this so complex for you people to understand. No gov will allow this . Not in a million years. You can pump the token for other reasons.

@mert privacy shouldn't be a privilege or an opt-in luxury it’s the baseline requirement for true digital cash. keep building the standard, because most people won't realize how much they needed it until the default option turns against them

@mert privacy is inevitable it's as simple as that

@mert You gain nothing by not having the option, but you also lose the anonymity set of everyone who never bothered. Firo doesn't make it a choice for exactly that reason. A pool only counts people who opted in with you.

@mert This is a great sales pitch and I am in. But what do we do when the gov tells Apple to block the wallets at the store..

@mert privacy is like a litter box if you dont have one, everyone sees your shit

@mert They phase out cash, then act shocked when money needs encryption.

@mert whats the biggest blocker you see for wider zcash adoption?

@mert Privacy is necessary not for criminals, but for freedom Just as we don’t share every thought with everyone, we shouldn’t be forced to make every financial transaction public

@mert do you think the average person will actually use the shielding option once it exists?

@mert totally agree. privacy is freedom. protect it.

@mert privacy claims ignore $XMR's 5k daily volume and $BTC's 30M daily volume, proving fungibility already.

@mert the moment you can shield, the default becomes private that flips the surveillance assumption without anyone opting in

@mert privacy should be a right, not a premium feature

@mert Fungibility lives or dies by participation. A shielded set that only a fraction of the network uses stays thin enough to fingerprint by elimination. The code can be perfect, but if adoption stays low, privacy becomes theater. Critical mass is the real feature here.

@mert Needs to come down to 700s though. Didn’t even stay a single day there. Neither last year nor this time.

@mert Having the option to shield funds gives people way more financial freedom

@mert everyone loves transparency until their wallet is the content

@because MONERO

@mert nobody wants to use it people just want to hold

@mert Have you read Perfect Money? 🤔🫡 x.com/lynxcollection/status/20…

@mert The option's there. Most just won't touch it. Same energy as their actual holdings.

@mert Privacy is essential for preserving the fungibility and individual choice that cash provides as finance goes digital. Supporting privacy-enabled infrastructure is a core focus for us at Ubik Capital. 🛡️

@mert Privacy is a right, privacy is necessary,etc but I dont see you fighting for Monero ! Why?

@because ZOLANA

exactly, and the option to shield matters for personal safety too, if your wallet is tied to your identity then anyone can see what you own and follow where it moves, and with AI making that linkage easier while physical attacks on crypto holders keep rising, public-by-default money starts looking pretty insane

@mert grPrivacy is key in this cashless world, and shielding ur funds is just smart. Can’t believe some ppl don’t get that.

@mert privacy should be a default option for money

@mert @AleoHQ >

@mert do you think people will actually use zcash for private txns or is it more about having the option?

@mert @jeremiahrogers $ZEC 🛡️

@mert okay so why do you midcurve the coin that gives you ZEC while holding a Solana memecoin ?

@mert Yeah, there's always a story when something goes up. And what story will you tell when it goes down again? Zcash, not Grok, and not GPT or Cloud, just a story that will become history again. Did you say that when it was $20, or is it just something you're remembering now?

@mert You don't need to hide, but you should always have the option. That's freedom.

@mert Same privacy you expect for photos must apply to money. Zcash gets it.

@mert what is zol?

@mert Shut the fck up

@mert I’d love to be able to bridge from zcash to an EVM chain to take advantage of other features. But I don’t want to go through a CEX. Solutions?

@mert my timeline is officially broken

@mert Monero is truly private. Your fed coin isn’t

@mert Exactly. Privacy isn’t about hiding something — it’s about having the choice. If the future is increasingly digital, that choice becomes even more important. We should embrace the future, but be careful about what we give up along the way. 👀
