Zcash Could Reach $4000 as Privacy Demand Rises Says Will McEvoy | Markets Outlook

Will McEvoy argues privacy is the scarce, mispriced asset and explains how Zcash, Zottle, and rising AI demand could reshape digital value and adoption.

Key Takeaways

Privacy is scarce and undervalued; AI-driven data use will likely trigger mass demand for privacy, making privacy-preserving assets like Zcash attractive investments.
Zcash delivers true user-controlled privacy: zk-proofs hide amounts and addresses while users retain keys, preserving fungibility unlike most Web3 “privacy” solutions.
Zcash matches Bitcoin-like scarcity (21M, PoW) but adds privacy; capturing ~2% of Bitcoin holders could imply ~$2,000 per ZEC, rising to $3k–$4k with broader gold/offshore adoption.
Key use cases: private person-to-person payments, AI-agent transactions, and private store-of-value—critical to avoid economic signaling and deanonymization via AI data-stitching.
Regulatory risk is real but uncertain; recommended approach is to build confident, interoperable privacy technologies and grow adoption rather than assume stable regulation.
Cypherpunk’s playbook: invest in user-facing infrastructure (Zottle wallet), accumulate Zcash (target ≥5% network), and develop an interoperable privacy tech stack beyond treasury holdings.
Compared with gold or Bitcoin, Zcash offers more private, digital, and portable transfers; physical gold movements are visible and routine crypto transactions are deanonymizable.
