Does a private cryptocurrency have a future in Europe? In this episode of Territorio Bitcoin I talk with Roosevelt and Aura, from the Zcash community in Spain, who organise meetups in Barcelona to explain the project to people starting from scratch.
They tell me how they came to Zcash and why there is still so much fear of cryptocurrencies in Spain. They explain Zcash in simple terms, as a Bitcoin where nobody can see how much you send or to whom. We go over the NU7 upgrade, the bug that was discovered with the help of AI and the transparent way it was handled, and whether it is good news that investors such as Vitalik Buterin or the Winklevoss twins back the project.
The big topic is regulation. Under the AMLR, from July 2027 European exchanges will no longer be able to offer privacy coins. Zcash has transparent addresses and viewing keys for auditors, and that could make the difference. I compared it with traditional money: cash in your hand is private and a bank transfer is not, and with Zcash you choose. We wrap up talking about tokenization with privacy and what they expect for 2027.
