Zcash's "Power Shift": Yeah, Right...

Alright, let's get one thing straight: this whole "Zcash privacy surge" narrative? It's mostly marketing fluff. Excuse me while I roll my eyes so hard I see my brain.

The "Roadmap" to Nowhere

So, Electric Coin Co. (ECC), the folks behind Zcash, are patting themselves on the back for their Q4 2025 roadmap. Big whoop. They're promising ephemeral addresses, new transparent addresses after receiving funds, easier hardware wallet resyncs, and multisig wallets for dev fund management. Sounds impressive, right? It's not. It's basic security and usability stuff they should've had nailed down years ago.

It's like bragging about finally fixing the leaky faucet after your house has already flooded.

And this line from their announcement – "As market conditions and other factors impact ECC revenue (positively or negatively), we will re-tune our approach, refocus our efforts, and step on the gas." – is corporate speak for "We'll do whatever keeps the money flowing." Let's be real.

But hey, at least they temporarily disabled the Coinbase on-ramp over privacy concerns, so they get a few points for that. Kinda. Maybe.

The Price Pump and Dump

Oh, and the price? Up from $50 to over $400? Shielded supply ballooning? J.A. Maartunn thinks Zcash pumps are brutal for Bitcoin, causing it to bleed. Sure, the numbers look impressive, but anyone who's been around crypto for more than five minutes knows that price pumps are often fueled by speculation and hype, not actual utility or, you know, privacy.

Zcash's

Speaking of speculation, I'm still waiting for my goddamn self-driving car that was promised to me back in 2015. Where's my flying car, too? Oh, right, vaporware.

And let's not forget that the crypto market is basically a giant casino. Are we really supposed to believe this surge is all about a sudden, genuine interest in privacy, or is it just another round of musical chairs where the last ones holding ZEC get screwed? I think we know the answer.

The Illusion of Privacy

Here's the real kicker: Zcash's "shielded" transactions aren't even the default. People have to actively choose to use them. And how many actually do? A fraction, I'd bet. The vast majority of Zcash transactions are still transparent, meaning they're just as trackable as Bitcoin.

So, what's the point of a "privacy coin" if most people aren't even using the privacy features? It's like selling a bulletproof vest that everyone wears inside out. It's security theater, plain and simple.

And this whole thing about Zcash overtaking Monero in market cap? Doesn't mean squat. Market cap is a vanity metric, not a measure of actual adoption or security. It just means more people are gambling on ZEC, not that it's a better privacy solution. Zcash (ZEC) Overtaking Monero (XMR) Market Cap Points to Privacy-Coin Power Shift

What a Load of Crap...
