With Xmr exploding to all time high, that can only mean a few things.
1. Zec is bound to catch up, and is lagging due to recent resignation news. (since Zcash is a better tech than Xmr, for those of you who argue otherwise, you can check for yourself)
2. Xmr's price is falling back down, since it cannot sustain a higher valuation than a better protocol (Zec).
that leads to the analysis of how much higher of a valuation of Xmr is to Zec.
Currently, the market cap (not fdv) of Zec is 6.83B while xmr is at 12.85B.
i would argue this leaves a lot of room for margin of safety.
side note: the fact that Xmr is exploding, it means potential narrative shift to privacy again. ( I think tailwind for privacy is here, not just short term but to stay)
in terms of interest of "privacy" in google search, developed countries are more prevalent. (more potential buying power)
The great people actually share a lot in common in their thinking.
In one of Charlie Munger's clips, he speaks about the human psychology of misjudgement, he mentions the Standford experiment of the guard and prisoner.
In that example, he says it's not just RECIPROCATION TENDENCY and ROLE THEORY (you are expected to act out your role) that caused it, but also CONSISTENCY and COMMITMENT TENDENCY, the more you act out certain behaviour, the more you are pounding that idea into your head.
This resonates with what Jordan Peterson has said, which is: you are what you act out.
he says nobody is sophisticated enough to act one way and be another in their own head.
Peter Thiel's idea of evaluating a business. a business create X% of value and capture Y% X and Y are independent value.
most biggest innovations have their profits competed away, so the Y% is close to zero. eg: railroad, airlines etc.
when he did paypal, he calculated most cash flow come from years later, thus it's important to evaluate whether business would still exit long after, rather than purely focusing on growth rate, eg: a company can be doing growth at 100% a year and go out of business in 5 years time because of competition. thus it's not worth investing from an investor perspective.
therefore he likes business in monopoly because of Y% and business life expectancy.
that got me thinking, how do you know a business has defensible moat over the long run especially we live in a world where there is breakthrough in tech everyday, one way of him evaluating is whether the product has network effect.
while it's true, we simply do not know what is going to come along and new innovations can still disrupt everything, eg: AI search to google search (maybe not the best example as al search now complements google search to some extent )
there is a tweet from @naval "Continuous learning is the only defensible moat."
doesn't this reach the conclusion of always investing in capable and ethical people, and that's almost the only determining factor?
tho in the book "poor Charlie's almanack", Charlie did say if you had to pick between good business and good management team, he would lean more towards good business.
I actually wonder if that is because he doesn't invest in businesses that have high multiples anyway (as he describes as having high margin of safety), therefore he leans towards the good business side, and it doesn't apply as much in tech companies.
I find it quite funny that often many kols would talk about macro as if they were experts/ spend years studying it, marco is super complicated with many strings pulling in many different directions.
I personally would only listen to people like ray dalio that have remarkable achievements in life.
Il pool Zec protetto sta tornando in auge, l'interesse aperto sta aumentando rapidamente, potremmo essere in grado di cavalcare questo slancio verso il massimo storico. #zec #zcash
Bought this dip, in the form of BTC, majors have room to pump since the current price is quite far from all time high, r/r is decent, funding rate mostly close to 0, similar to april imo, just not as extreme. #btc
La crypto dipende molto dalla narrativa, quindi la forza di una particolare narrativa è molto importante.
Come valutiamo la forza di una narrativa? Se una narrativa è qui sin dall'alba dei tempi, significa che la narrativa è più vera delle altre perché ha superato la prova del tempo.
La privacy è quella narrativa.
La tecnologia si sta evolvendo sempre più velocemente, spesso non sappiamo quale narrativa seguire perché tutto potrebbe cambiare domani, ma la libertà, la privacy, questi argomenti sono attuali e non svaniscono mai, il bitcoin è aumentato grazie alla libertà.
Ora tocca a noi contemplare nuovamente la privacy, nella forma di Zcash. Usa il portafoglio @zashi_app per il tuo bene.
L'appetito per il rischio è ancora molto forte, l'S&P 500 è effettivamente diventato verde dopo un'improvvisa caduta, i ribassi continuano ad essere acquistati, le criptovalute sono un po' sottovalutate rispetto alle azioni secondo la mia opinione. Continuerò a monitorare.
Ho acquistato questo ribasso, sotto forma di robinhood in azioni, è più sicuro scommettere su questo ribasso in equity per il momento, cercherò di acquistare anche in crypto.
L'unico svantaggio è che è chiaramente visibile che vediamo pressione in vendita intorno ai 700$, ma se ci consolidiamo qui cambiando mani e btc decolla, allora questo sarebbe un commercio molto riuscito, il r/r è ancora solido.
A proposito, ignora tutto il rumore, guarda solo i dati, una buona regola empirica è che i trader che ti offrono mille monete sono spesso trader incapaci.
Proprio come una teoria che spiega tutto non spiega nulla o se tutto è di pari importanza, nulla è importante.
La mia tesi rimane la stessa, VEDO MAGGIORI OPPORTUNITÀ PER ZEC
Ho monitorato da vicino i dati di Zec$ , e devo dire che è davvero impressionante, e la maggior parte delle persone non sa come controllare i dati di Zcash, il che lo rende ancora più efficace.
Piccolo riepilogo, tasso di finanziamento negativo, aumento dei prezzi guidato dal mercato spot, dinamica sana.
BTC, ETH, BNB tutti in calo oggi, e $Zec rimane forte, COMPRA COINS CHE PERFORMANO MEGLIO IN UN DOWNTURN.
A meno che non abbiamo già un mercato orso in arrivo, $Zec supererà le aspettative.

Aster is a strategic product of Binance against hyperliquid. (CZ openly said he thinks dex is going to take over in the future and if he were ten years younger, he would be building a dex)
and I think CZ saying him treating Aster like BNB, which might imply he is going to work inside Aster? He could be having second thought like: afterall im still young haha. @CZ Who knows, but this is definitely a +EV bet in the long term. #aster
