Zooko said he wished the bitcoin cash community moved to zcash and he doesnt want to potray zcash as a privacy coin anymore why?

I mean why would bitcoin cash folks move to zcash and isnt zcash a privacy centric project?

Source: 34C3 - cryptocurrencies, smart contracts, etc.: revolutionary tech? - YouTube Q&A session

I also think if @zooko wants to get layman to use zcash (more adoption) he needs to do a bit of a b.s thing like what normal marketeers do.

Maybe tai lopez or james altucher… i mean james altucher really tried pump zcash

Pump/marketing/lil bit b.s = community

I mean fluffypony talk shit about dash even though ring ct hasnt implemented yet and monero gain traction

Dash is up there bcos they have their roger ver

Also i dont know what does this even mean
“If Bitcoin is like http for money, Zcash is https—a secure transport layer“

Whats http?

Are you incapable of googling http and https and understanding his comparison?

I think maybe Zcash less of a privacy coin (because its you right) and all the others more un-privacy coins. Its a seperating quality, but it shouldn’t be the defining one (Zooko is in the future a little)
Edit- at the bare minimum Zcash is the only cryptocurrency even suitable for the job

No i know what is http but most people dont

Is zcash only for geeks? Right…

@_nur I see your point, would a better analogy be

Bitcoin is like an unlocked door and zec is like a biometric lock?
