What is Zcoin? There are so many privacy coins that include the letter z that it's easy to get them confused, and many people don't realize that Zcoin actually predates Zcash, and is based on entirely different cryptography.


It's also interesting to note that the Zcoin blockchain was used in the first ever application of blockchain in a large scale political election, by Thailand's democratic party to elect its new leader in 2018.


Paul Puey (Edge CEO) and I dive into the history, tech, & what's next for Zcoin.


We also put our money where our mouths are: we each decide whether to invest $100. This is not investment advice, we're just giving you a peek into our own portfolios and how we make decisions for ourselves. Keep in mind, I'm more interested in the team, the tech, and whether it's a cool project than in short term gains.


If you'd like a more in depth look at Zcoin, this week I did a members-only interview with Zcoin co-founder Reuben Yap.

I used to stake Zcoin on the Thai BX now defunct exchange platform. I think it was also the first one to be used for the Satang wallet "payment app" concentrating on the Thai market.

It's quite simple there are 3 approved by the government. Currently I am using Bitkub which grew to be the biggest in Thailand. Then you have Satang Pro and the newest one is Bitazza.

Here are link to each with referral if you want to help each other:

Yeah I think it's an under appreciated privacy coin TBH. I would also like to see lelantus added as a second layer to BCH

Well it's trading over $4 with an ATH of around $140...it has survived this far. It trades 12% of it's entire market cap everyday which is not bad at all, it could surprise...
