Yahoo! This is an exciting day for me. After a long journey through blockchains, cryptography, and ZK rabbit holes, my new book, co-authored with @NathanOnCrypto, is finally out. It's part history, part deep dive, part red pill, and it's about two of my favorite topics:

General thought: @Zcash which I co-founded a long time ago, and is based on the Zerocash paper I co-authored (even longer ago), is receiving a lot of attention. I love it!! 💛 Taking a step back, the renewed interest and the price action still fit my general thesis about

I love Zcash (and @Starknet ! but this tweet is about @Zcash). Here's why I love @Zcash: (proper disclosure: I'm one of its co-founders, and it's based on Zerocash, which I co-authored; but it's been several years since I was involved in it, today I'm just viewing it from afar
