Sincerely BTC people are the worst one. They are like that father that have kids but doesn't want they to grow and have their own families. He always drag them down and if they have something more valuable than him he got dangerously jealous.
I have been watching BTC maxis speaking a lot of shit about other coins. For them there's no other coin than BTC.
Somehow in their minds BTC is the centre of the universe and talking about other cryptos around is a sin. You aren't even allowed to speak about other coins. It's a cult not a cypherpunk movement.
But it surprises me when I read online that despite all their despise on other currencies, they are considering adopting the private ZCash style to implement in their new attempt to turn BTC private. I am speechless about that and I beat my head down to understand how the elite is even considering adopting a tech that is behind a trash coin. Yes, many of those maxis call ZEC and other cryptos that aren't BTC trash.
No matter of is Bitcoin Cash, here they even call BCash trash) and, read well, the only one most of them consider is XMR.
So why not using stealthy technology than Zk-sNarks?
I consider this people hypocrite and jealousy ones. They couldn't stand seeing ZEC gaining momentum that came up with a plan to drive the attention away and break the flow into the ZCash ecosystem. Announcing that publicly is clear an attempt to drive attention to their new entrepreneurship because they could work behind the scenes and announce that when is in advanced stage. Imagine announcing something now that need more than 3 years to come as real!! What's the point?
Other thing to clear my curiosity how the hell they gonna use their L1 to use a on-chain privacy tech while the same Blockchain can't scale at all. I smell another LN attempt and a failed project at the end. ZEC and other trash coins will be standing while BTC is drowning on their own ignorance. Well we'll be here to follow all the incidents and watch in loco what BTC is planning and how they will handle their hard failure as private money.
