THE CRYPTO END-GAME: BELIEF ASSETS AND CASHFLOW ASSETS

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Crypto assets are either belief assets (value from shared conviction, no cashflows) and cashflow assets (value from earnings), and token creation is automated but durable demand is not. Belief assets share five structural features: a cult figurehead, a near-death survival that filters for devout holders, early backers made wealthy, a meme-identity layer, and a one-liner rally cry. ZEC qualifies as an emerging belief asset via its shielded-pool vulnerability survival, 30x run, and "private/quantum-proof bitcoin" positioning, with Pearl (PRL) flagged as a possible "AI bitcoin" candidate. The endgame is a two-tier structure: belief assets on top, cashflow assets underneath.
