Zcash Has No Morals
summary
Argument: moralizing privacy slows adoption, so focus shifts to concrete steps that grow real usage and earning opportunities. Proposals include decentralize the dev fund to pay contributors directly from block rewards, scale the Zcash Foundation Minor Grants Program and ZecHub bounties, ship developer kits and merchant plugins for local markets, and reduce KYC/centralized exchange onboarding that produces “zodel.” Evidence: existing pockets (global ambassadors, local communities) already earn and spend Zcash; expanding those models increases utility, price support, and network security.
