⚪ Raoul Pal sits down with Mert Mumtaz, one of the sharpest minds in the Solana and cryptography ecosystem, to explore the rising urgency around privacy in crypto. They break down why transparent blockchains create massive risks in an AI-powered world, how Zcash pioneered zero-knowledge proofs, and why the industry may be entering a new phase where programmable money and private money coexist. They also dive into state overreach, surveillance creep, quantum threats, and the fundamental question behind it all: what financial freedoms will individuals still have in the future? This conversation offers a clear, actionable framework for understanding what may become the next major crypto narrative.
