The Altcoin Report #3: Zcash July 17, 2017 at 10:14PM

When Bitcoin was first released, it brought an open financial system to the world. Anyone could connect without requiring permission from anyone else; anyone could extend and improve on it without permission. However, it came with a drawback — privacy.
