Zcash has an inflation bug, and nobody's talking about it.
sit down around the fire and let me tell you a story that many of you may not have heard. once upon a time, there was a group of people who wanted to launch a cryptocurrency called Zcash with a fucked up trusted setup, 2 MB block size, founders reward, unverifiable supply, and experimental technology using people's real, hard earned money. what could go wrong? there was more hype over ZEC than jeffrey epstein on the way to his island. people said before launch, what was acceptably sane talk, things like "zcash is the bitcoin killer" and "zooko is a genius."
the zcash team decided on a "slow" reward emission at the beginning to try to put all the miners having a boner into a cold shower. so the block rewards were extremely small. poloniex listed zcash first. miners started posted absofuckinlutely ridiculous asks, but because scarcity + hype = stupid, there was a guy who paid for ZEC at a rate of 5000 BTC per ZEC when it got listed on polo...i saw it happen with my own eyes...im sure he thought, wow what a steal, it's the next bitcoin. if he needed anymore confirmation, at one point at a meetup zooko said (i kid you not) that he "doesn't actually specifically know how zero knowledge proofs work". But how can i blame the guy? I mean, it's a free country amirite.
i can't think of a more fucked up piece of shit than zcash. nobody even uses the privacy features. i see lots of people blaming the dump on the founders reward. perhaps that contributes to it. but many people dont know that the supply is unauditable. if someone figured out a way to print billions of ZEC, there's literally no way to tell. can you find a better explanation for this god forsaken chart than that? and i hear that they are creating a new blockchain, a zcash 2.0!
