Andreas was my first exposure to Bitcoin. I am so thankful for his early advocacy, his drive to educate, and the spirit of his convictions and values. I'm so sad to hear he's unwell. Best wishes for your health @aantonop

@WallStreetApes Labs should be "over the counter" as well. You should be able to get labs anywhere, for any reason and government should not limit our ability to see what is going on with our own bodies.

Can we just go back to simple appliances? We don't want screens on our fridge. We don't want a 100 different settings to dry our clothes. We just want old school, get the job done appliances that are not a pain in the a$$ to maintain.

@akm515 Yesterday our oven crashed and rebooted while baking, unresponsive while it came back up. At least its state was preserved and it knew it was still baking. Maybe there's a firmware update that would fix the issue, but I'm loathe to connect it to the internet even once.

It’s probably best cogsec practice to assume everything you see is AI, everything you read is a lie, everyone you speak with is a bot, and everything you experience is a psyop. It’s the most intelligent frame to operate from in 2026 and moving forward.

This is why Verus $VRSC is fair launch with no insiders or centrally controlling entities. It’s difficult to have trustworthy credibly neutral infrastructure for the world otherwise. As the venerable Oink from the Verus community commented: “My (historical) observation: 1. Chains start some kind of legal entity to handle listings and stuff. 2. Entity seizes control. 3. Devs run away 4. Chain goes down the drain.” I think Zcash will be fine but this is another reminder that Fair Launch with no insiders is the best way. It requires more patience, but it is the best way.

My friends…when I say all roads lead to Verus $VRSC here is a major reason why. The market is shifting in its understanding of what is most important for a protocol. You want to know how far ahead of the crowd you are holding Verus? How ahead of the curve @MikeToutonghi design of the system is? Read the first and last lines last line of the image in the quoted post below. “Privacy is the one feature that’s critical for the world’s finance to move on chain. It’s also the one feature that almost every blockchain that exists today lacks.”👈👀 “And because privacy is essential for most use cases, **a handful of privacy chains could own most of crypto.”👈👀 Read that again. That is not from some rando influencer. That is from a16z. The major players are coming to the conclusion that the chains without privacy are going to fade or have a hard time staying relevant to major business and financial power houses. That is a large portion of existing crypto networks that have no privacy solution built in. And of the actual privacy chains in the world, how many of them have the wide ranging suite of capabilities and scalability that Verus has? IMO we hold digital gold right now and the market is catching up to reality that privacy is non negotiable and essential. Verus is so far ahead of everyone and everything else, even though price action does not feel that way. Tell me which privacy chains even come close to all of the capabilities Verus has, especially when it comes to apps? If you are unfamiliar with Verus please deep dive research it so you don’t embarrass yourself trying to compare $ZEC or some other low function privacy chain to it(you will see why if you actually look honestly and understand what’s under the hood) Verus is complete. Verus is advanced. Verus is market ready. Verus demolishes the other privacy chains in capabilities and total use case. The market is starting look at what has privacy and what does not and of the chains that have privacy it is not even close when comparing Verus to everything else. Those of you that hold $VRSC , be glad you found Verus when you did. $BTC $ETH From a16z: x.com/a16zcrypto/sta…

anon’s guide to actually supporting privacy: > donate to tools you use instead of just complaining they need money > contribute code if you can, documentation if you can’t > use private money (cryptocurrency, cash) > tell normies about alternatives without being insufferable about it > work for companies that aren’t surveillance machines > push for legal protections because tech alone won’t save us privacy isn’t a product you buy, it’s an economy you build

Zelle was great for a while, now it's unusable. Ridiculous and opaque "fraud" heuristics have made it a nightmare. I've lost all patience and have nothing but contempt for it. It's not your money if you have to get permission to use it.

Smart contract platforms ask: what can developers build? Then make them write, audit, and deploy complex code for basic features. Verus asked: what primitives do developers actually need? Money, identity, data, scale. Start building now.

Check the tokenomics of most chains: huge allocations to team, VCs, foundation. Verus? 100% emission to miners and stakers, 100% of fees to miners and stakers. No insider allocation. Just work.

@owroot It does seem silly, but when you're traveling it beats having to haul around 7 different power cables/adapters. It seems to me that USB-C also has better retention than most old school barrel plugs.

My electric razor charges on a USB port. I don't know why, I have no good reason to say so, but it just feels wrong. It's like I can't get USB = computer out of my old head. It makes no sense, but there's something in me that feels like other electronics belong on a simple plug.

Platform dies, your profile dies with it. Account banned, your reputation disappears. VerusID lives on-chain. Build your digital identity once, use it everywhere, keep it forever. No platform dependency.

Verus is 5 year ahead of everyone 😭 We have decentralized ID solved, MEV solved, off-blockchain encryption (derived from your wallet secret, still, but unlinkable (!!) ), cross-chain interoperability & bridging, deeplink capabilities for un-phishable logins

The American Flag is only valuable as a symbol of principle. It's supposed to be the principle of individual liberty. It's become, over the past century, emblematic of the opposite; of state-worship. If you send someone to prison for burning the flag, you have committed the far greater crime, for you've incinerated the principle on which America was founded.

I really thought communism was the answer to all of society’s problems until I tried to run a community garden.

@jbrukh Come look at Verus. No VC, no company, no DAO, just Nakamoto consensus and people contributing code. No premine, allocation, token sale, dev tax, or other privileged position. Launched in 2018. Powerful, neutral Web3 infrastructure. Happy to connect to give you an intro.

They dunk on VC chains but decentralized networks have only built themselves in a few emergent instances.

After several months of joyful work - cryptodashboard v2 is now deployed and ready🥳 The theme for this upgrade is - supporting scalability of the Verus Protocol - showing currencies, blockchains, earnings and address balance stats. More features on the way.

Marginalized communities are entitled to the same rights as the majority and often have greater need for personal protection. Such a ban would be neither constitutional nor right.

MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) is the dark cloud casting shadows over countless DeFi trades. Front-running, sandwich attacks, and unfair pricing bleeding users dry. Verus solved this 'impossible' problem. Verus solved MEV. This community-made video breaks it down. ⤵️
