Zcash how it lost rank and value

[artkor]

@HHIROSHIMA I remembered your nickname. You’re the one with the rabbit Twitter account, right? That’s right! There was an incident in 2023 when you wrote to me that all the ambassadors are a useless waste of the foundation’s money, while ECC employees are being laid off because of us.

This paragraph in my nomination thread was related to that very incident:

Later, I was invited to join the Global Ambassadors program. It was an amazing experience that I thoroughly enjoyed, and it allowed me to focus on creating YouTube videos as a full-time activity. However, when the price of ZEC dropped to $25, I fully supported ZCG’s decision to scale down the program because expenses in ZEC had become significant. There were even people who accused the ambassadors of simply wasting the foundation’s funds. That was hurtful to hear, especially considering that I still haven’t spent the compensation amount I received (ZEC).

So using this podium, I want to respond to you. Yes it was frustrating and if I didn’t love Zcash I probably would have spit on my activism in principle. That’s what I’m saying, that no one should attack activists unless you want to lose what we have.

Please check out this topic where @joshs presented tables about Zashi downloads in various countries. By the way, I made a video about Zashi in 2024 after the ambassadors program was close. All the former ambassadors, without exception, whose grants we approved this year did the same.

So, I have only one question for you. Do you think it’s possible to succeed if you only create great products and don’t tell a wide audience about them?
