Odaily Planet Daily reports that StarkWare CEO and Zcash co-founder Eli Ben-Sasson stated on the X platform that, in his first conversation with Strategy founder and executive chairman Michael Saylor, he explained Starknet’s mission: to promote the development of the Bitcoin economy. Another topic they discussed was privacy. Saylor believes that Bitcoin should not have privacy features, at least not privacy models like Zcash, because such features would give sovereign nations a reason to ban it. Ben-Sasson disagrees. He believes it is possible to balance both—providing privacy protection while allowing key viewing. They also exchanged views on OPCAT. Saylor is concerned about too many or too rapid changes. However, Ben-Sasson disagrees, arguing that OPCAT has already undergone extensive debate and research, and that a decade is sufficient—there is no need to delay for centuries.
