After 5,000 years money has come full circle
Earliest use of money: recording debt (3000 BC clay tablets in Mesopotamia)
Store of value came later — cattle, shells, barley, tally sticks: anything hard to fake became money
Gold prevailed: almost no new supply, perfectly fungible. Perfect... until everyday trade made it too slow and heavy
Banks then emerged to move information, not gold — private receipts, mirroring the original goldsmith practice
The state noticed the ledger, seized it, and turned private receipts into public surveillance
Bitcoin was the counter-attack: fixed supply, no ruler, unbreakable rules — freedom, but total exposure
Maximum transparency = maximum entropy. A ledger that shows everything to everyone eventually breaks human society (and arguably violates Gödel–Turing limits on total knowability)
Zcash fixes that flaw
Zero-knowledge proofs minimize entropy: the chain can be validated without revealing details unless disclosure is chosen
Same fixed supply as Bitcoin — privacy by default, selective disclosure when desired
Five thousand years later the circle closes: digital gold receipts, private again, permissionless
Privacy isn't optional. It's the ground state of money
