I have a few thoughts: 1. The near decade spent suffering from 2017 - 2025 is certainly real. I doubt any of us would assume that base of holders, miners, builders, etc… isn’t a real community of holders ^ this decade of humiliation and distribution almost certainly created one of the healthiest holder bases in crypto, which is essential for any coin that wants to be money 2. People with $1M dollars care exponentially more about privacy than people with $100k dollars. This trends exponentially Therefore it’s kinda intuitive that the bitcoin whales, tech KOLs, and industry leaders who hold all the wealth actually jump into Zcash before the community I understand this is typically really bad for a project but if they’re here to legitimately buy back their privacy, it’s actually good 3. Crypto has been hell, there’s no more tourist, I’d even argue most of the scammers have left to AI (see all the opaque SPVs) Given that, I think we’ve actually filtered CT down to the least amount of scammers we’ve seen in a while. This means instead of assuming you’re being fed lies, it might pay to have a more charitable interpretation of CT’s consensus Look at the coins being shilled nowadays on their own merits: Zcash is private money (good for the world). Hyperliquid makes a ton of money, expands financial access, and returns all the value they create back to token holders (a real and damn good business). TON has a lot to prove but we all live on telegram, Pavel is a G, and after being arrested in France - I don’t doubt he fundamentally believes in permissionless financial rails ^^ dare I say this is the more reasonable group of coins I’ve ever seen CT shill. If they’re market keeps trending, the scammers will return but for now we could be in a golden window of opportunity At least for now I’m going to choose to believe
