Position A: Prioritize Inclusivity and Condemn Hate

Fairness 9/10

  • I’ve been watching the reaction to the ZECsy booth photos this week, and I have to say how disgusted and disappointed I am by the broader crypto community, including the leaders from Zcash. Not only for the transphobia and antisemitism,
  • You may think the ZECsy grant is a bad use of funds. You can think ZCG should be reformed or shut down (I’ve been arguing about ZCG governance in this forum all week myself). Those debates are healthy, and they’re
  • I believe Zcash exists because financial privacy protects people. The people who need that protection most are the ones who get debanked, deplatformed, surveilled and targeted. This includes members of the adult industry, so get over it. If we only
  • I couldn’t agree more x.com dismad 🛡️ @dismad8 The Zcash community needs more empathy. $ZEC 2:18 PM - 26 Oct 2026 26 I try really hard to be unbiased and focus on love vs hate, but its hard when taboo
  • Many Zcash leaders moved their primary comms channel to X. That’s where this is happening, and practically nobody is standing up against hate there.
  • Grouping sex work alongside extreme crimes like CSAM is an example of hate. Please review my original post regarding the silence of leaders. And… This is extremely false. I have never seen violence, CSAM, human trafficking, or sex work really

Position B: Ensure Responsible Use of Public Funds and Acknowledge Free Speech

Fairness 9/10

  • People (many of whom are not Zcashers) are free to say what they want, but let me directly address your assertion regarding leaders , which I assume is partially directed at comments I have made on Twitter: No “leader” has

  • What I did say, was that its inappropriate to use public funds to sponsor sex worker and adult content conferences, regardless of whether they are trans focused. Obviously it is controversial and not everyone will be supportive of those markets,
  • One of the strengths of Zcash (vs. Monero) has been the constant refusal to promote usage on dark markets, which provide the ability to purchase drugs, violence, child porn, human trafficking, sex work, etc. This has made Zcash far more

Position C: Support Active and Open Community Representation

Fairness 9/10

  • The entire Zcash army mostly hides behind pseudonyms on Twitter for obvious reasons. The team you’re writing about is very active and isn’t afraid to interact openly with people on the street. I have a lot of respect for them
  • The team you’re writing about is very active and isn’t afraid to interact openly with people on the street. I have a lot of respect for them because of that.
