1/4 Let's look at some #StoreOfValue assets. $INR has “decreased” against $USD by: 70x since 1947 (independence) 8.3x since 1975 1.5x since 2009

@chainyoda @Jason What if you can marry both? 🤔

should have listened to @Jason the early investor in Uber

@aarnott Allegation 3 is a boon for Allegation 5. If it wasn't for the support of optional privacy, exchanges would not be able to list Zcash due to compliance (as is the case with Monero).

Zcash fans: help cut the FUD and lies by replying (or authoring community notes) with well sourced, current replies. I have sample FUD and appropriate responses here for your copy-paste convenience: blog.nerdbank.net/2025/11/09/cou…

We have come to a point where the US Treasury Secretary tweets positively about the #Bitcoin network. That says something very powerful.

@grok @CryptoBoomNews @grok how much time period is considered persistent use (indicating some vulnerability)?

High-volume Fed overnight repo operations, like the ~$50B conducted on Oct 31, typically indicate short-term liquidity needs in the banking system, often due to factors like end-of-month funding pressures or reserve imbalances. For the broader system, they help stabilize short-term rates and prevent stress, signaling the Fed's role in maintaining smooth operations. For risk assets, they often provide a boost by injecting liquidity, supporting prices in stocks and crypto, though persistent use might hint at underlying vulnerabilities.

🚨The US Federal Reserve pumped $29,000,000,000 into the banking system yesterday.

@vladcostea #Zcash has plans to move to PoS from PoW consensus. What are your views on this?

I understand that more people are paying attention to Zcash now So let me say this again: Zcash is basically Bitcoin with the latest version of the Zerocash protocol, which was proposed for Bitcoin in 2013 and took over a decade to refine. The biggest challenge, and the reason why Zcash didn’t really take off since launching in 2016, was user experience and the scalability of ZK SNARKs. You see, Zcash started from having the state of the art privacy. Then backtracked to make it usable on everyday devices. Until a couple of years ago, it was technically impossible to even have shielded Zcash transactions on a mobile wallet – due to the computation requirements and the hardware you needed to run the software on. But now there’s @zashi_app and @EdgeWallet and hopefully many more wallets that make it easy to send and receive shielded transactions on the go. Thanks to these optimizations, Zcash is finally ready for mass adoption. It finally became what it was supposed to be in 2016 when it launched as an altcoin. This is why this bull market is different and the chartists are wrong when they compare with past performance. They don’t know the technical details and the history of the project. They don’t understand that real adoption is happening via DeFi integrations, with users swapping into shielded ZEC to break the link between their trades. The future is also bright, with Tachyon scaling the protocol to billions of users without any privacy tradeoffs. Shielded assets are on the roadmap too. Zcash is the best research team in all of crypto. Started out with something purely theoretical (Zero Knowledge proofs) and made them practical. Refined their code to the point that it can be mass adopted. And through this journey, remained 100% compatible with Bitcoin – which means that even today, Bitcoin can just soft fork the latest version of the Zcash protocol. Thanks to Zcash Bitcoin currently has ZK rollups (Citrea, Alpen), shielded client side validation, ZK coins, and the Zside drivechain. Thanks to Zcash, Ethereum could build Tornado Cash, Railgun, ZK STARKs & all sorts of rollups. Of course, it’s the price that makes more people pay attention. But the problem is that these folks don’t have the proper context and didn’t spend more than 10 minutes doing some research about what Zcash is and what it does. Some may say that Zcash is overvalued and finds itself in a bubble today. I disagree: Zcash is the most influential privacy project in the space and deserves to be a top 10 crypto coin. It’s much more useful than Ripple, Cardano & Dogecoin combined. It’s more ambitious in scope than Monero and Litecoin. And I believe it’s only getting started. If you’re new here, I strongly recommend that you listen to my interviews with @zooko and @ebfull – if anything, spend a few hours of your time to learn about what you’re investing in before you put any money into this project. This goes way beyond speculation and NGU fantasies. It’s about the future that we want for this space and how we wish Bitcoin turned out to be.

Happy 9th Bday @Zcash!! 🥳🚀

@smit2k14 :D

:D

Haven't looked at this for quite sometime and wow, this is sort of unbelievable. 1 ZH/s breached!! 😱

People in India have a saying of buying Gold at Dhanteras (2 days before main Diwali). Every year, I've noticed some correlation of Gold going up a bit on Dhanteras. But this year, Gold took it to the next level by going parabolic. Patterns never stop amazing you... Hope your life, luck, prosperity and success goes parabolic like Gold on this Diwali. Happy Deepawali!! 🪔

In this whole #AWS outage, #Blockchain networks didn't flinch. There are many centralized entities which build on top of these #Crypto networks, which still got affected. Then there are some entities which work completely decentralized, backend on smart contracts, UI on IPFS, without an iota of a downtime. They demonstrate the power of decentralized networks. Decentralization may not be for everyone. Its harder and slower to setup and get right. But when done correctly, they can step-function increase the hardening of your foundation and create guarantees that centralized networks can't.

AWS is down!! Worry not... My bro just went on-call to fix it... 😄

@gauravsharma Encryption and Zero Knowledge Proofs.

What is cryptographic substrate of the post-surveillance economy?

@gauthamzzz Congrats ser!

@DisplayDriver Now, what would be amazingly ❄️ is if you can apply a Glowpepen to a Thermal Punk, either converting the TP to its 1-1 or just issuing a new 1-1 of that TP, in turn also 🔥 the Glowpepen. Sooo 🤩.....

GLOWPEPEN Free to claim for Thermal Punks holders @display-driver/id/4189491440" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">manifold.xyz/@display-drive…

@DisplayDriver Yeay! You didn't include yourself?

Snapshot taken! Official list below

@DisplayDriver 777 - The Number of the(rmal) Punks

Scanning for real mfs... Detected:

@DisplayDriver Cool. I dont know which is the right answer either, but excited for them.

@vjsingh102 I think separate but still determining that

One more thing... The top 20 Thermal Punks holders will receive a free 1-of-1 remix of their Punk. Snapshot will be taken 24hrs after mint is closed.
