On Tuesday, June 9th 2026, 1 PM MT / 9 PM CET I will interview @joshs on livestream

The last time he was on Bitcoin Takeover Podcast, it was November 2024 and the Zcash project was really struggling.

But on Tuesday we will finally have time to catch up and talk about the events that happened over the last 20 months.

Feel free to send private questions via shielded notes (I think @vlad.21 works too): u1c7nhcmxajkyg7lljr0ux4tk0rf64a54lpyycsc2y8a5ws94sjg79ahc3zzujcrkun6thvcg5u3r3axnmmpj7n7v6k2drlss8fdvx7wm4v96vv7c07gng0m4jwl5dypv9m9t66uvxk6r0y36m73766pklx5flgfy6nrjj3y3jzuxj5j6g

I will also take questions from the livestream chat, if you tune in.

See you on Tuesday! Here’s the announcement tweet too: [https://x.com/vladcostea/status/2063396688904048715?s=46&t=gsfNwtDtLBe-E5UXg0sh5A](https://x.com/vladcostea/status/2063396688904048715?s=46&t=gsfNwtDtLBe-E5UXg0sh5A)

The interview got delayed until Friday!

We need at least a couple of hours to do a deep dive into what happened with Zcash since November 2024, and Friday is the best time for both me and Josh.

Stay tuned!
