Yeah, I’m in both ecosystems, Polkadot (/Kusama) & Zcash, so when I see something good here, I try to bring it there. And when I see something good there, I try to bring it here. I don’t care too much about the price of either, so please don’t imagine I try to push either token, thanks. I want to see Privacy win, and I want to see decentralized Governance win; regardless of the token, that’s what I push for in both ecosystems.
Okay, so an issue that has been happening on Polkadot for a while, but getting better, is that outreach and communication was, seemingly, mostly directed inwards. It’s the same that seems to be happening in Zcash.
I love that @aquietinvestor is doing a podcast and I am very much looking forward to the next episode. But, imho, ZEC-to-ZEC interactions (ZEC host and ZEC guest), should at most represent 50% of the episodes.
Perfect example: https://x.com/KevinWSHPod/status/1930632829022642395
Observe how this episode, while it brings attention to the values and ethos behind Polkadot, it does so to an audience that can be assumed to be not particularly familiar with that network (and therefore substantially increasing awareness), and it does so while not pushing for a token.
I’ll tell you this to me is a great success that I wish could be replicated here, and I am sorry to say that in my humble opinion, at the extreme opposite of that, is this: https://x.com/mytechceoo/status/1926002637318635977 - hopefully I’m wrong, but this looks net-negative for our outreach.
Anyway, for now I’m rooting for @gordonesTV !
