Alliance DAO co-founder Qiao Wang claims Zcash may be \u201cthe last possible 1000x in crypto.\u201d His argument is not framed around a near-term catalyst, but around a long-duration macro and technology thesis in which privacy becomes the final major unresolved market gap in digital assets.<\/p>\n

Why Zcash Could Be The Last 1000x<\/h2>\n

Posting on X on March 15, Wang wrote, \u201ccontinue to believe that Zcash is the last possible 1000x in crypto. Gov overreach, money printing, rise in socialism, quantum. All massive multi-decade tailwinds.\u201d He paired that with an investment posture that sounded more like a Bitcoin-style conviction trade than a tactical altcoin call: \u201cas with btc, don\u2019t trade it. Accumulate during periods of apathy and hold it for 10-20yrs.\u201d<\/p>\n

continue to believe that zcash is the last possible 1000x in crypto.<\/p>\n

gov overreach, money printing, rise in socialism, quantum. all massive multi-decade tailwinds.<\/p>\n

as with btc, don\u2019t trade it. accumulate during periods of apathy and hold it for 10-20yrs.<\/p>\n

The core of Wang\u2019s reasoning is scale. In a follow-up post, he argued that \u201cthere\u2019s still lots of possible 10x\u2019s and maybe 100x\u2019s, but a 1000x requires an extraordinarily large tam.\u201d In other words, the bar for that kind of return is not just technical novelty or strong narrative. It requires a market large enough to absorb a multi-decade re-rating.<\/p>\n

That idea was quickly reinforced by others in the thread, most notably Helius Labs CEO Mert Mumtaz, who pointed<\/a> back to a privacy thesis he published in November under the title, \u201cThe Last 1000x in Crypto: A Privacy Thesis.\u201d His summary was blunt: \u201cBitcoin started with three problems: i) legitimacy, ii) programmability and scale, iii) privacy. Bitcoin solved i) by becoming a trillion dollar asset, Solana\/Ethereum solved ii), and iii) is the last remaining piece.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mumtaz\u2019s broader argument is that crypto\u2019s biggest order-of-magnitude gains historically came from solving foundational deficits in the original Bitcoin design. First came legitimacy, then programmability and scale. Privacy, in his view, is the remaining open branch.<\/p>\n

He wrote that \u201cimprovements will continue to happen on this programmability\/scale branch and the Bitcoin branch, but I\u2019m not sure we\u2019ll see another 1,000x improvement. That is to say, I think future improvements are marginal, not order of magnitude in scale.\u201d By contrast, he argued, \u201cthe privacy branch is the last thing remaining for asymmetric upside.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why Zcash rather than privacy tech in the abstract? That part of the conversation turned less on code and more on credibility.<\/p>\n

Awa Sun Yin, co-founder of Anoma and a board member at Shielded Labs, US president had been moving through political circles arguing that Bitcoin and crypto lacked privacy because \u201choldings and balances were visible to everyone \u2013 and seizable,\u201d and recommending Zcash instead.<\/p>\n

Awa said the key point was not whether the story was true. \u201cWhat\u2019s relevant is that when you read or hear this story, you have an easy time believing it,\u201d Awa wrote. \u201cWhereas the story wouldn\u2019t be believable if the person were recommending Monero or any other privacy coin instead of Zcash.\u201d<\/p>\n

At press time, Zcash traded at $231.59.<\/p>\n
