Zcash: Bitcoin’s Annoying Little Cousin?

by

Oh, Zcash. Bless its heart. Apparently, some guy at Bloomberg – Eric Balchunas, if you’re keeping score, which, honestly, who is? – is worried it’s going to mess things up for Bitcoin. Like, a real political crisis in the crypto world. 🙄

He thinks Zcash is giving off “third-party candidate vibes,” which, okay, fair. Gary Johnson or Jill Stein, you say? A slight. A definite slight. It’s like, Bitcoin is the sensible, slightly boring option and Zcash is… well, the one trying too hard to be edgy. The point is, splitting the vote now? When Bitcoin needs everyone on its team? Honestly, the audacity. 🤦‍♀️

But apparently, no one’s actually switching. Arman Meguerian – clever name, very official – said Bitcoin people don’t even think about Zcash. Which is… brutal. Samson Mow then chimed in, saying Bitcoin maxis are “rolling their eyes” at it. Savage. Just… savage.

Critics accuse Zcash of manufactured hype

And then the fireworks started. Turns out, people suspect Zcash is… gasp… being artificially hyped. Mark Moss posted screenshots of marketing agencies offering money for Zcash shout-outs. Surprise, surprise. “Wonder why ZCash is showing up EVERYwhere all of a sudden?” he asked, with a level of shock that I personally find a bit dramatic. 😉

Then Rajat Soni pointed out how all this excitement feels like people are trying to cash out. And some fake news about Fidelity predicting Zcash at $100,000? Seriously? It’s just… classic.

Winklevoss twins back Zcash

But hold on. The Winklevoss twins – yes, those Winklevoss twins – are into it. They’ve launched a Zcash treasury company. Apparently, Zcash is “encrypted Bitcoin” to them. Which is… a take. They think Bitcoin is for saving and Zcash is for… secretly spending? I guess? 🤷‍♀️ Complementary, they say. Right.

Honestly, the whole situation is just a bit… messy. And I’m here for the drama.🍿
