@chooserich Thanks for sharing. Sending love to you for swift healing. 🙏

10 days later I had an appointment during which my thoracic surgeon walked in the room and said "You've got Hodgkin Lymphoma. It's one of the better cancers. Good luck. Stay focused on the goal." He gave me a pat on the back and walked out of the room.

Two weeks ago I shared that I got Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma ("cHL")... For those who may be unfortunate to end up in a similar place I wanted to share lessons from the wild rollercoaster of the past two weeks. Perhaps it might be a little bit cathartic as well ⬇️

@TomZarebczan @Ledger That would be great.

@SickServer7 @Ledger They said by the end of summer there should be something live: forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/a-path-forwa…

To everyone who held $ZEC before it was obvious. Ledger Wallet™ app sees you 🔐

@CryptoTaxFixer Pretty interesting. Are you able to say why he thought it was a loss, but the IRS thought it was a gain?

A client got an IRS audit letter claiming they failed to report $200,000 in crypto income. They thought they could explain it themselves. Very human. Very understandable. Also, not such a good idea. They contacted the auditor and tried to explain that the $200,000 was not really income. It was actually a loss. The problem was not that they were unintelligent. They were highly educated. Both had doctorates. The problem was that IRS audits are not normal conversations. The auditor was not there to be persuaded over a friendly chat. Within 30 days, the situation had escalated to the auditor’s manager. What started as “let us explain” became a much bigger problem. That is the trap. Crypto traders often think the IRS will understand once they hear the full story.But audits are not therapy sessions. Every sentence can open another door. Every explanation can create another question. And once the auditor starts probing, it becomes much harder to control the direction. Crypto audits need structure. They need records. They need representation that knows what to say, what not to say, and when to stop talking. Sometimes the most expensive mistake is trying to sound reasonable to the IRS.

@Jason First mover. major brand recognition, and absolute scarcity for starters.

I'm just not sure where the new Bitcoin buyer comes from it you have stablecoins, $tao and solana:So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112 being more interesting, valuable and easier to use 🤷 Anyone have 10x bitcoin:native thesis?

@chooserich Sending you the best and strongest 💪 vibes !! You got this Nick !!

Chemo has begun…

@GoMining @MarkZalan_ @CoinDesk I like that it stays layer 1, because it still engages the miners and helps secure the BTC network, right? Pretty cool if true.

Why has buying with Bitcoin never quite worked? Eighteen years of attempts. Lightning got the closest. Every version came with tradeoffs. GoBTC Pay is here to fix it Listen to @MarkZalan_ on @CoinDesk Live ⚡ #GoBTCPay #UnlockBitcoin

@TheDesertLynx Just tired of your hate boner for everything Bitcoin.

@SickServer7 Not trying to be mean, but this is one of the most wrong-headed comments on this entire thread, and that's saying something 😵‍💫

Satoshi premined. He mined before anyone else and got (and holds) a much higher percentage of the supply than many founders. Sorry to kill your virgin birth myth.

@NeilJacobs Mark, I think you lost the plot!

NEW ‼️ - BILLIONAIRE MARK CUBAN: I SOLD MOST OF MY BITCOIN. IT’S LOST THE PLOT.

@dotkrueger Trump is winning all the Gold medals!!

In 2016, Trump talked of "paying off the entire US Debt". In 2024, were told that tarifs would "make us rich". Now, Kevin Warsh is planning for "a much smaller Fed". Welcome to the Gaslighting Olympics.

@Thebitcoinway_ That’s such a great point actually.

The best time to orange pill your friends and family is when #Bitcoin has dropped ~40%+ Not when it is making new ATHs They are much more likely to learn things properly and set a good foundation when they aren't hyper-fixated on the price

@LitecoinRicky @BSCNews @Zcash Oh, Litecoin, behave!

@BSCNews @Zcash So you’re saying it’s a full blown scam?

Zcash Foundation Sits On $36M War Chest The Zcash (@Zcash) $ZEC Foundation ended Q1 2025 with $36.6 million in liquid assets while reporting just $817,000 in quarterly operating expenses. Most spending went toward team compensation, engineering, research, and protocol operations. At the current burn rate, the foundation’s treasury could theoretically support operations for more than a decade.

@Ledger Meow!

gm! reply to this, we're checking something

@AMPphetamineRx @EvanLuthra I see what you mean. Thanks for clarifying.

@SickServer7 @EvanLuthra I meant more for the other tokens that were rugs or even people they prosecuted and fined millions. That money seems to go right to there coffers

🚨THE FBI CREATED A FAKE CRYPTOCURRENCY.. LISTED IT ON UNISWAP.. HIRED MARKET MAKERS TO PUMP IT.. THEN ARRESTED EVERYONE WHO SAID YES.. THIS IS THE CRAZIEST LAW ENFORCEMENT OPERATION IN CRYPTO HISTORY!!! The FBI built an actual ERC-20 token on Ethereum called NexFundAI.. 100 billion token supply.. A professional website.. Whitepapers promising "passive income through AI-powered investing".. It looked exactly like every other crypto project.. Because that was the point.. Undercover agents posed as the founding team.. Then reached out to professional market-making firms and said "we need you to fake our trading volume".. Every single firm said yes.. Here's what they recorded.. Gotbit.. A firm run by a 26-year-old Russian who publicly bragged in 2019 that he built a business faking trade volumes.. His team kept internal spreadsheets with columns literally labeled "fake volume" vs "market volume".. When asked how fast they could pump NexFundAI's volume to $1 million per day.. They said "6 hours.. It will cost about $200".. $200 to fake $1 million in daily trading volume.. MyTrade.. Run by a guy who called himself "the mastermind".. He explained the exact psychology of the scam on camera.. "We make the chart look like a really nice roller coaster ride.. That's where people jump in.. We have to make them lose money in order to make profit".. He said that on a recorded FBI video call.. CLS Global.. A Dubai-based firm.. Their bots generated 98% of NexFundAI's total trading volume.. When the FBI asked if they could sync fake volume spikes with fake news announcements.. They said absolutely.. ZM Quant.. Bots executing 10 to 20 trades per minute through dozens of wallets to look organic.. All of them knew it was fraud.. All of them did it anyway.. All of it was recorded.. And the clients were even worse.. Saitama.. A meme coin that hit $7.5 billion market cap.. The founders coordinated buys through private Telegram chats.. Sent "pump it" memes while manipulating the price.. Then dumped on retail investors.. $7.5 billion.. Built entirely on fake volume.. Every penny of real money came from retail investors who thought the momentum was organic.. One founder left Saitama and started Robo Inu.. Used Gotbit again.. Another launched VZZN.. Same playbook.. Lillian Finance.. Founder claimed to be a defense contractor who addressed Congress.. Marketed the token as funding children's hospitals.. Pocketed everything.. When the FBI shut it down.. They seized $25 million in one day.. 18 people indicted across the US, UK, and Portugal.. The CEO of Gotbit was arrested in Portugal and extradited.. Sentenced to 8 months plus $23 million forfeiture.. But here's the part that broke my brain.. Real people bought NexFundAI.. The FBI's fake token.. With zero utility.. Zero real developers.. Created solely to catch criminals.. Attracted real retail investors because the fake volume made the chart look bullish.. When the FBI pulled the liquidity to end the operation.. Those people lost real money.. On a government-issued token.. The FBI had to set up a restitution portal to pay them back.. And it gets worse.. Within 24 hours of the DOJ announcing the sting.. Someone cloned the FBI's exact smart contract.. Launched a copycat token.. Rode the viral momentum.. And made $127,000 in a single day.. Using the exact same manipulation tactics the FBI just arrested 18 people for.. Then in 2026.. The FBI did it again.. New token called Lexobit.. 10 more arrests.. Including operators extradited from Singapore.. IRS forensics showed that in one firm's trading.. 1,209 out of 1,221 consecutive transactions went straight back to wallets the firm controlled.. 99% circular.. The FBI proved what everyone in crypto suspected.. The volume is fake.. The charts are painted.. The momentum is manufactured.. And every time you buy a token because "the chart looks bullish".. You might be the exit liquidity.

@Boxmeta @EvanLuthra The post did say this: “The FBI had to set up a restitution portal to pay them back..”

@EvanLuthra Insanity So the FBI scammed the public to catch criminals, many who use the same scam tactics as criminals So who the heck is the real criminal here? We know who the real victims are!

@dul4imi @EvanLuthra The post did say this: “The FBI had to set up a restitution portal to pay them back..”

@EvanLuthra How is this not entrapment? And they kept the money they made from the operation wtf

@AMPphetamineRx @EvanLuthra The post did say this: “The FBI had to set up a restitution portal to pay them back..”

@EvanLuthra What i dont get is why does the Government keep the fines and recovered monies, it should be distributed back to the people that were scammed

@TrustlessState Yeah, I saw his post and thought it was ridiculous.

I'm bullish ZEC as much as every other CT trend follower... But this isn't accurate. All $STRC / $SATA buyers are BTC buyers Same with $MSTR / $ASST buyers too Bitcoin has millions of buyers

@Brenardawg @Gemini @cypherpunk I pretty much did the same, and yes it feels good,

@Gemini @cypherpunk My first buy on ZEC was when it spiked to 712. Bought all the way down to when it hit 200. Im glad I held all the way back up.

JUST IN: ZEC increased over 18% in the past 24 hours
