The zcash people are the worst
If we had listened to them, we would have ditched Bitcoin for a coin that has dropped in purchasing power by 98% against Bitcoin
The worst part isn’t the premine or the PoS migration shenanigans, it’s the moralistic attitude that if you don’t use a coin that has perfect privacy (which zcash is not anyway) then you are putting people in danger
When in reality living in fiat is dangerous
If I had to assign blame it’s that many of them are computer scientists chasing perfect privacy with zero understanding of real world economies etc
