Zcash Co-founder: Michael Saylor believes Bitcoin should not adopt a privacy model like Zcash

According to Odaily Planet Daily, StarkWare CEO and Zcash co-founder Eli Ben-Sasson posted on platform X stating that in his first conversation with the founder and Executive Chairman of Strategy, Michael Saylor, he presented Starknet's mission to promote the development of the Bitcoin economy. Additionally, another topic they discussed was the issue of privacy. Saylor believes that Bitcoin should not have privacy features, at least not a privacy mode like Zcash, as this would give sovereign nations a reason to ban it. Ben-Sasson disagrees with this viewpoint. Ben-Sasson believes that it is possible to strike a balance between the two, i.e., both provide privacy and allow for viewing keys. They also exchanged views on OPCAT. Saylor is concerned about changing too much, too quickly. However, Ben-Sasson disagrees, stating that OPCAT has been debated and researched extensively, and that ten years is a long enough period—there is no need to drag it out for hundreds more years.
