we don’t realize who Zooko is!
he created Zcash and spoke with Satoshi!
Zooko wrote the very first blog post about Bitcoin in January 2009 (a few weeks after the white paper was released) - Satoshi then linked to it directly on the bitcoin.org homepage: that was a form of public endorsement.
that’s why Zooko is often considered one of the first “legendary” Bitcoiners.

@rektfencer @future_funs Is it at all possible that the poor returns of so many other stocks is due at least in part to the amount of investment into a much smaller handful of stocks? Is this cannibalism of capital?

🚨 THIS IS NOT LOOKING GOOD
SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic will go public at the same time.
That will force the market to absorb $200 BILLION of new supply.
When that happens, funds don't find new money out of thin air.
They sell what has already gone up.
NVIDIA, SK HYNIX, Micron, INTEL: those are the bags that will get cut first.
And if the leaders dump, the S&P 500 dumps with them.
We saw the same pattern after COVID.
Hype IPOs flooded the market --> liquidity got tighter --> air came out fast
This time, the AI bottleneck trade looks even more crowded.
Watch the upcoming IPOs closely.
That's where you may first see what the market is forced to sell.

@broodloper The btc ledger is fully open and visible for show, so they can scan and track you 24/7.
Privacy’s important and it starts with a Z

🚨 THE NIQAB BAN ISN’T ABOUT MUSLIMS
It’s about making sure you can’t hide from the AI panopticon.
They’re criminalizing full-face coverage now so when the masses want to opt out of constant facial recognition, gait analysis, and biometric tracking in the coming years...it’s already illegal.
Security state can’t have people going off-grid from their predictive policing grid (Flock, Palantir, etc.).
Full coverage = invisible. That’s why they’re pushing the ban so hard.
The only thing they can’t force you to show, scan, or track 24/7?

Stack sats or stay permanently exposed in their fckd-up biometric dystopia.

if you're uncertain but bullish privacy, just get both (or neither until you build your own conviction) imo
my money personally is on zec because it uses the strongest encryption guarantees known to man, will be quantum proof (so you won't be able to retroactively decrypt past activity), and has a massive surge of new talent carrying it now
xmr uses things called ring signatures to hide 1 real transaction among 15 decoy transaction, zec encrypts everything so there's no obfuscation necessary to begin with. I feel pretty uneasy about obfuscation because in theory you can have someone introduce a bunch of decoy transactions on purpose to give you the illusion you're hiding in a crowd
with pure encryption, there's no such risk
they have different network effects, xmr is used for payments on darknets and it's better at that, and zec is more used as a private store of value akin to bitcoin with similar tokenomics (and also zcash pioneered zk and zk was quite hard to use in the early years so it never took off until now, now that the tech has caught up)
zcash will soon get a 100x performance upgrade and has a few new core teams working on a bunch of exciting things which will make it much better suited for payments going fwd
finally, some ppl might tell you silly shit like "zcash is optional privacy" but it's actually optional transparency since new coins are born private and the wallets shield by default
imo this is necessary because it's a trojan horse for growing the shielded pool and gaining adoption for the asset to scale to planetary scale instead of it remaining a niche on internet corners
(first line of cypherpunk manifesto: privacy is not secrecy. it is selectively revealing oneself to the world)
so while I can't tell you what to do, this is what im doing
