I address Snowden's vision in the tweet below:

This vision includes:

• Total Control
• Technological Comfort
• Fog of Speculation
• Media Manipulation
• Urgency to Act

Check out the tweet to understand more about what I want to convey about ZK technology, as discussed below the tweet.

Total Control & Privacy 

The most hype is always around the price of cryptocurrencies, and no one can say otherwise.

Few recognize the potential for individual privacy, and ZK technology can enhance this vision.

• Zero-knowledge proofs allow transactions and interactions to be conducted on the blockchain without revealing sensitive information, ensuring true confidentiality. 
• With ZK, users can prove the validity of their actions without exposing their data to third parties, including governments, providing a cornerstone of protection against excessive surveillance.

Technologic Comfort

Do you want to be controlled by technology or control it?

• ZKPs give users the power to manage their data and transactions securely, increasing personal control over technology. 
• They offer a secure way of interacting with technologies without compromising ease of use or functionality.

Fog of Speculation

You're blinded by speculation and have missed the opportunity to utilize the real use cases of Web3.

• By highlighting ZKP-based applications that promote practical uses, such as anonymous voting or secure identities, we can underscore the importance of technology beyond financial speculation.

Media Manipulation 

Media are often manipulated or strongly influenced; ZKPs can offer resistance against this.

• ZKPs can help ensure the integrity and veracity of information by enabling data to be verified without revealing sources or detailed content, which can reduce manipulation.

Urgency to Act

Snowden calls for urgency to become conscious and fight for the real utility of Web3 technology.

ZKP can amplify this.

• ZKPs can give power back to individuals by securing their transactions and personal data, keeping them out of the hands of big business and government surveillance.

MinaProtocol: The First Pillars

Mina is one of the foundational pillars of this technology.

• It is the first L1 blockchain that enables the creation of a ZK ecosystem. 
• It is the smallest blockchain in terms of data size, which allows for virtually unlimited scalability.
•  Mina could establish a new Internet Protocol, akin to HTTP, making the internet more secure and trustworthy.
