@malshaalan @mert This is a treaders mentality. The answer is simple. When the tokens are money, there is no reason to off ramp.

@mert fungibility breaks at the edges, not the ledger. a private-by-default L1 still doesn't stop exchanges from screening coins on the way in and out, so the censorship just moves to the off-ramp.
English
privacy is similar to decentralization in that pursuing it for its own sake is not effective. it must enable something tangible
in the context of a monetary asset on an L1, it enables fungibility, security, and censorship resistance as well as providing the implicit social framework for the miners
the full backing of the entire L1 then reduces counterparty risk, which onboards serious capital, which then grows the anonymity set, which then helps onboard more serious capital, which then reinforces the monetary properties
privacy becomes the network effect that enables the money itself. I don't see how else you can scale the separation of money and state.
this is why zcash has the potential to be a generational project
English
@uche2v @EliBenSasson @Zcash @StarkWareLtd Without privacy, fungibility cannot exist.
1 BTC != 1 BTC
Every satoshi has a history of its own fully traceable and therefore potentially valued differently.
English
@EliBenSasson @Zcash @StarkWareLtd Just asking for clarity.
For a retail user, what advantages does privacy offer? most wrench attacks are wallets exposed through kyc and tax data leak and Onchain privacy doesn't necessarily solve this problem.

Privacy comparison: Zcash vs. Starknet
As you know, I've co-founded two ZK projects, @Zcash (in 2014) and @StarkWareLtd (in 2018) and I love both.
When it comes to privacy, each offers something different and interesting.
Zcash is the original privacy solution, and has privacy as its core mission. Its main advantage is that when it comes to privacy for transferring money, in the form of ZEC, you get the highest grade of shielding. Only the payer and payee know anything about that single transaction. The rest of the world learns nothing. Zero knowledge.
@Starknet's main advantage when it comes to privacy (with strkBTC and strk20) is UX and composability. You can do more actions – trading, borrowing, lending, swapping, staking – all under the same cloak, and you do it with good UX.
Zcash – Resistance Money grade Privacy.
Starknet – Usable everyday financial Privacy.

@TurntUpDylan Now think of all the families spending $3-600k before college even starts.
English
You're 18. Your parents saved you $200k for college
Do you:
a) Skip college, self-teach, take a lower paying job early, and invest the $200k at 10% compounding
b) Spend $200k on college, leverage the network, and aim for a higher-paying career post-grad

The @Pumpcade Tokenomics System in 60 seconds:
The Pumpcade Value Engine sits at the core of the platform and routes real platform activity into areas that strengthen the ecosystem:
1. $PUMPCADE burns
2. User Redistribution (paid in USDC)
3. Creator Rewards (create better markets, get better rewards)
4. User Acquisition
Congestion Fees improve market quality by making it more expensive (on a curve) to join the "safe" side of a market the closer it gets to ending. These fees route into the Pumpcade Value Engine.
Pumpcade Passes are season passes that give access to:
1. Lower fees
2. The ability to create premium markets
3. An increasing list of platform benefits in the future
The passes last for "seasons" and can be purchased with:
1. USDC -> Platform market buys $PUMPCADE and burns it.
2. $PUMPCADE -> User receives a discount and platform burns it.
Pumpcade has no token emissions and no farming. The ecosystem grows stronger with REAL activity.

@mert I would suggest that @rgb0x00 and the Critters Cult universe is one of the best projects to rally around.
His creativity is unmatched. Building cool things like Myths of Brume his trading card game.
It's a cult 🌀
x.com/rgb0x00/status…
rgb@rgb0x00
Myths of Brume is the first TCG built entirely with pixel art cards (even the text is rendered within a 140×196 pixel grid). The upcoming collection features 300 original cards, each one hand-crafted pixel by pixel over the past two years. In this playtest version, the artwork is partially redacted — I don’t want spoilers before the full release. But the core experience is already in place. You can jump in, test the gameplay, build decks, and start shaping your own strategies. If you run into anything along the way, such as bugs, glitches, or unexpected behavior, you can report it using the in-game Bug Report button. Your feedback is a key part of this phase. Join the playtest! (link in bio)

@MoonOverlord - gut the EF foundation (half of them left recently so idk if you need to do this anymore)
I don't follow the EF, but if half of them left would it seem to indicate that the ones remaining are the problem? 🤔

bail ETH out 1.0 gameplan
- admit L2s were a mistake, abandon them completely, every single one is down -90%+ with 0 usage, twist the knife and get it over with
- fully embrace NFTs, onchain collectables, TCGs, memecoins, and gaming assets (ya know, the things people actually like and are popular)
- Vitalik needs to stop dumping everything he gets, he looks anti-community and quite frankly anti crypto
- gut the EF foundation (half of them left recently so idk if you need to do this anymore)
- focus all network upgrades on fee reduction or TX increase limits to focus on the core L1
SleepyAvocado@NoseCucumber
@MoonOverlord And what else do you suggest

@armaniferrante I used to believe ETH network effects gave it a lead that could not be overcome. Then in 2021 I saw this up only that convinced me otherwise. Crypto is still obscure enough that any coin can be replaced iwo.

@cz_binance Imagine CZ thinking API keys in a private repo is ok. Now remember this is who you trust with your money.

If you have API keys in your code, even private repos, now is the time to double check and change them...

Yesterday we detected and contained a compromise of an employee device involving a poisoned VS Code extension. We removed the malicious extension version, isolated the endpoint, and began incident response immediately.
