Exactly this. ZEC is the corporate privacy coin.
If you want the tech without the VC manipulation, look at PIVX.
Same zero-knowledge math, but 100% Proof of Stake, no ICO, and funded by a decentralized DAO.
Privacy should be grassroots, not an Israeli VC exit liquidity event.

The hot take right now: Solana is way cheaper, so Robinhood “should’ve” built there. Anatoly Yakovenko even ran the math: the 10% revenue share Robinhood pays Arbitrum could cover Solana fees several times over and still leave room to subsidize users.
But Steven Goldfeder’s reply hits a different angle: on Arbitrum Orbit, Robinhood keeps roughly 90% of sequencer revenue and only sends 10% back to the Arbitrum ecosystem (8% to the DAO treasury, 2% to the Developer Guild). On Solana, those same fees go to validators; Robinhood would retain none of the base-layer fees and would have to subsidize every user out of pocket if it wanted gasless UX.
In Goldfeder’s words: “Robinhood chose Arbitrum so they could be a landlord and not a tenant.” In practice, that means controlling the sequencer, setting the fee model, and capturing most of the economics from activity on their own chain—even when users aren’t trading directly inside Robinhood’s app.
So this isn’t really about “which chain has lower gas.” It’s about which design lets a platform extract and keep value from its own users at scale.

Polkadot Runtime Upgrade 2.5 has been proposed to the DOT DAO for all System Chains

With big AI companies taking over the world we as the people can push back by creating a decentralized AI system with validators that compute workloads on the network instead of useless hashes. This would also solve the problem of big data centers taking over communities because each house could be a mini datacenter either mining rewards for incentive. Instead of Sam Altman getting paid you do. We can also put a governance model (DAO)behind the system where validators can vote on upgrades or where we want to take the technology. Pieces of it already exist separately. There are already decentralized marketplace where independent providers supply CPUs/GPUs instead of everything running in AWS/Google/Microsoft. Suppose the decentralized AI has reached:
**Model 7.0**
Developers propose training:
**Model 8.0**
Maybe Model 8 requires:
$200 million worth of compute
dramatically better autonomous coding
new biological capabilities
3× larger training dataset
Instead of Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Google executives, Anthropic executives, or a handful of venture capitalists making that decision, a proposal goes onto the network.

Well I have been in the market since 2013, my masters was in crypto, what do you want to know? How epic the eth ico was? What the market looked like when eth was open to trade in q4 2015 and was 80 cents? The DAO hack? The ICO mania of 2017? The first mainstream bullrun of 2017 when btc was cca 20k? Not to mention COVID, defi craze...
