CoinFeed reported on May 3rd that Barry Silbert, founder of Digital Currency Group (DCG), the parent company of Grayscale, published an article on the X platform stating that in 2015, the market failed to realize the $2 trillion global demand for decentralized digital value stores like Bitcoin. At that time, the industry generally believed that Bitcoin's privacy was sufficient to serve as a private global store of value and transfer tool. He stated that now, with increased market awareness and a clearer understanding of privacy needs, privacy coins like Zcash will benefit from this "foresight advantage."
