An interesting perspective has sparked discussion in the community—Dragonfly's investment partner Haseeb drew an analogy between Zcash and BitTorrent, believing that the core reason these two projects have survived in their respective fields is their adherence to the fundamental principle of 'righteous mission.'



What does that mean exactly? BitTorrent has never been suppressed because of its decentralization philosophy; instead, it has survived precisely because of this persistence. Similarly, the 'true believers' and 'cypherpunk' spirit demonstrated by the Zcash team have allowed it to endure amidst various upheavals in the crypto industry. In simple terms, a pure origin combined with a sincere initial purpose—never attempting to do anything illegal, but instead using technology to uphold their beliefs.

This viewpoint was also supported by Josh Swihart, a prominent figure in the Zcash ecosystem, who retweeted the post. It seems that finding a balance between privacy protection and compliance is indeed key to a project's long-term survival.

Haha, this logic does have some merit, but I still feel it underestimates the pressure of compliance.

Speaking of which, sticking to the righteous mission sounds easy but is actually difficult to do. Can compliance and privacy really coexist? I remain skeptical. Zcash is still around, but how many privacy coins have already been delisted by exchanges? Haseeb's words sound good, but in reality, how many projects have truly achieved that? Pure intentions are admirable, but in the end, isn't it all about compromising with reality... To stay true to your beliefs while also surviving—that's the hardest part. BitTorrent has lasted until now; rather than a sense of mission, it's more about finding a way to survive. It's a good topic, but it feels a bit idealistic, you know?

Haha, this is the right way. If you don't seek self-destruction, you won't die.

nah, the "clean origins" narrative requires further auditing tbh. technically speaking, both projects benefited from regulatory ambiguity more than actual compliance rigor. verify that claim thrice before accepting it.

Being honest and true to your original intention is indeed reasonable, but how many projects in the industry can really achieve that?

Can Qingbai's origin really last that long? To me, it seems like he's been used as a pawn.
