I believe the Zcash community has an opportunity to deploy a new incentive
|
||||
structure that will attract companies like ours to build and improve Zcash,
|

leading to a more resilient network, stronger technology, and wider usage.

The Zcash Narrative
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
We're all here to build a robust, private, decentralized currency. But in the
|
||||
dev fee proposals I've seen so far, the idea of a Zcash narrative that
|
||||
distinguishes it from the competition is absent.
|
||||
|
||||
One direction proposed in ZIP XYZ claims that Zcash is a hedge against Bitcoin's
|
||||
long-term privacy failure. Put simply, Zcash is "Bitcoin, but private".
|
||||
|
||||
I believe that Zcash should aim higher. Only one coin has successfully made a
|
||||
store of value argument, which I like to call "worse is better". Don't upgrade
|
||||
the network -- stability is more important than solving today's problems.
|
||||
Bitcoin is chasing the Lindy effect, where worse is better, and that's great for
|
||||
Bitcoin. For the rest of us, though, better is better. Zcash *should be better*.
|
||||
|
||||
Zcash is known for having the best tech in the space, built by one of the best
|
||||
team's in the space. We should lean in to that reputation, nurturing the best
|
||||
research and engineering talent to take Zcash to the next level.
