I’ll be honest. I learned about $ZEC in 2016, even owned a bit and never sold it. But for the most part I had completely written it off, as did so many others. This isn’t just a redemption arc for $ZEC. This is a redemption arc to cypherpunk values, privacy, and freedom.

Congratulation to our Zcash winners last week. New campaign 🎉 to kick-start the week. 📍 If ZEC stays above 750 on 17 Nov 2025, 4pm JST (Japan Standard Time), We will send $50 worth of ZEC to 3 addresses —- 📍 Else if ZEC trades above 888 on 27 Nov 2025, 4pm JST We will send $88 worth of ZEC to 5 addresses 🛡️ Zcash Ztackers drop your address below and repost. As usual, Winners will be randomly selected by @grok

The unfortunate and dishonourable drama witnessed in Ibom Air has again brought to the fore the double standards in our lives and the inadequacies of our various security operatives in acting decently and in a civilised manner. I want to start by sincerely apologising to the Ibom Air crew who were assaulted by Miss Comfort Emmanson. We must, as a society, learn and uphold good conduct, as it is a true measure of success and decent living. However, I must equally strongly condemn the dehumanising treatment meted out to this young woman. Stripping her publicly was not only unnecessary but also represents the height of rascality and abuse by our agencies. It is unacceptable that she was hurriedly taken to court and remanded, while someone who visibly held a plane from taking off and put hundreds of lives at risk is still at large, with government agencies and some state officials speaking up for him to be forgiven. This case is not just about one young woman, it is about the double standards that poison our justice system. Justice in Nigeria must never be about who is poor or powerless versus who has influence or access to government officials. While Ms. Comfort Emmanson is in jail, the other offender who committed a more severe offence has not been held to the same standard. He has neither been arrested nor arraigned in any court. We must build a country where justice is fair, equal, and not selective, especially against women who are seen to be weaker. This young lady’s offence does not compare to the crimes committed daily by those parading themselves as “excellencies” while looting public funds without consequence, and yet they have not been stripped or dehumanised in the name of justice. We must end this selective treatment of the poor or less privileged. If justice must be served, it should be served to all, and it must be served fairly. The Minister of Aviation and other relevant authorities owe the public an explanation for these double standards in their adjudication. Justice must be just, or it is nothing at all. The rule of law based on justice for all must remain the guidepost of our democracy. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Most people impacted by the war in Ukraine are located in Europe. I'm proud of my Dutch parents who took in 5 people. If there are people impacted of any nationality who can and want to stay in San Francisco we have two rooms from April 22 to May 15 in our home. My DMs are open.

A few days after I joined as head of biz dev at Facebook in 2006, MySpace announced a partnership w/Google worth $1B. I sent an internal email suggesting we pursue a similar deal and Zuck gave me a hunting license. Here's how I signed the biggest deal of my career with Microsoft:
