場次摘要
Tom Howard 從監控與個人自由的關係出發，主張若資產持有情況完全公開，就更容易遭追蹤與強制沒收。他認為，Zcash 的隱私交易能減少這類資訊暴露，因此比只有自行保管私鑰更能保障使用者。這是講者對隱私與政府權力的主張；他最後也請與會者掃碼領取隱私 ZEC。
值得記下的 5 件事
- 財務資訊曝光越多，個人行為越容易受到監控與控制。
- 自行保管私鑰能降低託管依賴，但公開持幣資訊仍留下監控風險。
- 可追查的資產紀錄，可能成為對持有人施壓的線索。
- Zcash 的隱私加密降低交易資料曝光，目標是提高抗監控能力。
- 現場 QR code 提供隱私 ZEC，讓參與者直接體驗隱私收款。

開場
你好，network states。喜歡自由的舉手？有人喜歡嗎？好。喜歡共產主義嗎？我覺得那有點反自由，對吧？共產主義的問題是：要運作就得靠監控。共產主義……Hello, network states. Raise your hand if you like freedom. Anybody like freedom here? All right. You like communism? I think it's kind of anti-freedom, right? So the problem with communism is that it requires surveillance to work. So, as communism .
想擴張，就會一直透過監控取得新資訊，試圖監控你生活每一部分。為什麼？監控等於控制。對某人生活知道越多，越容易控制他。共產式經濟裡經濟資產都是自上而下規劃，代表你需要很多控制。wants to grow, it is always seeking to acquire new information via surveillance. It's trying to surveil every part of your life. Now, why is that? Surveillance equals control. The more information that you have about somebody's life, the easier it is to control them. In a communist economy, every asset of the economy is top-down planned, which means you have to have a lot of control.
代表你需要很多資訊，代表你需要監控。所以監控和自由是相反的。Bitcoin 被創造出來，是要做出國家難以扣押的資產，對吧？不是你的鑰匙就不是你的幣。只抗扣押不夠。Which means you need a lot of information, which means you need surveillance. So surveillance and freedom are opposites. Now, Bitcoin was created to create a seizure-resistant asset from the state, right? Not your keys, not your coins. Seizure resistance is not enough.
因為若他們看得見你有什麼，就能監控你、找到你，再透過脅迫拿走，對吧？若要擋監控和共產主義，你得先打掉監控本身。Because if they can see what you have, that means they can surveil you, they can find you, and they can take it from you through coercion, right? So if you want to prevent surveillance and communism, you have to defeat the surveillance in the first place.
抗監控加密與自由
抗監控的加密會打掉監控，這是共產式控制與沒收的必要前提，也讓每個人更有自由。這就是 Zcash。Zcash 是抗監控，因此也是抗沒收。So surveillance-resistant encryption defeats the surveillance, which is a necessary prerequisite for communism and seizure, and empowers freedom for all individuals. So that's what Zcash is. Zcash is surveillance resistance, which makes it also seizure resistance.
找不到你的幣，就沒收不了你的幣，對吧？Zcash 是全人類的自由。喜歡自由貨幣的舉手？有人嗎？喜歡 freedom money 嗎？好，今天有免費 freedom money。去 Zcash 攤位，有 QR code。If they can't find your coins, they can't seize your coins, right? So Zcash is freedom for all humans. So raise your hand if you like free money. Anybody like free money? Do you like freedom money? Okay, today we have free freedom money. So go to the Zcash booth, and there's a QR code.
你今天來這裡的票價大概能領回來，作為到場禮。用 QR 領免費 freedom money，小把戲挺巧妙。對，Zcash，不是共產主義，就這樣。You'll get about what you paid for the ticket price to come here today back for being here today. And you'll get free freedom money with one of these QR codes. It's a pretty neat little trick. And yeah, Zcash, not communism. That's the thing.
好，謝謝大家。All right, thanks, everyone.
