Vitalik Buterin says Decentralization is a Luxury, Defends Zcash as a Privacy Coin

During a Twitter debate, Vitalik Buterin supported Zcash as a strong privacy coin, regardless of opinions citing its centralized nature.

The Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and also the consultant for privacy coin Zcash, safeguarded ZEC on Twitter, against condemnation concerning its centralized nature.

Replying to a Tweet by WhalePanda, who emphasized Vitalik should support a decentralized coin if confidentiality mattered to him, the Ethereum co-founder wrote:

“Why? If I was utilizing digital currency for a high-privacy-demanding use case, I'd go for what looks more likely to guard confidentiality and not offer a crap about luxuries similar to decentralization.”
