PANews reported on December 5th that Eli Ben-Sasson, CEO of Starknet and co-founder of Zcash, posted on the X platform that in his first conversation with Michael Saylor, founder and executive chairman of Strategy, he outlined Starknet's mission: to drive the development of the Bitcoin economy. Another topic they discussed was privacy. Saylor argued that Bitcoin should not have privacy features, at least not a privacy model similar to Zcash, as this would give sovereign states a reason to ban it. Ben-Sasson disagreed. He believes a balance can be struck: providing privacy while allowing access to the keys. They also exchanged views on OP_CAT. Saylor worried that there would be too many changes, too quickly. But Ben-Sasson disagreed, believing that OP_CAT had already undergone extensive debate and research, and ten years was more than enough time; there was no need to delay it for hundreds of years.PANews reported on December 5th that Eli Ben-Sasson, CEO of Starknet and co-founder of Zcash, posted on the X platform that in his first conversation with Michael Saylor, founder and executive chairman of Strategy, he outlined Starknet's mission: to drive the development of the Bitcoin economy.
