Now that @joshs is the new CEO of the ECC, we have the practical and inspiring leadership that Zcash needs to make it something that ordinary people rely on every day.

A free world needs privacy enabled and secure digital cash. And while @zooko did an amazing job starting this project and developing Zcash I’m sure he agrees that we need a fresh and renewed perspective to take this project to the next level.

Josh has the energy, intelligence and charisma to make Zcash a household name and a valuable tool used by people everywhere. He has a solid vision and a practical plan to make this happen. But here’s the bad news; Josh’s plan (and probably Zcash itself) is going to fail without the good faith and energetic support of the Zcash community.

Zcash is more than just the ECC, so it’s time for a change at the Zcash Foundation as well. Thanks for your dedication and hard work @Dodger but have you thought about stepping aside to make way for a fresh perspective?

The stakes are too high to stay the course. Let’s start 2024 with a brand new leadership team and renewed hopes for economic freedom around the world.
