This customer was aggressively anti-AI. Thought it was hype. Thought it was lazy. Thought it didn’t apply to real businesses. He runs an HVAC company. He was wrong.

Tokenized finance without privacy isn’t innovation. It’s exposure. It’s risk. It’s non-compliant. It’s naive.

1/3 Unlike full‑anon chains (Zcash/Monero), $DUSK is privacy‑preserving: receivers know who paid, the public doesn't. That’s GDPR privacy‑by‑design + EU Travel Rule Reg (EU) 2023/1113 in practice. Live on mainnet since Jan 7, 2025.

If quantum computing had a voice that was both brilliant and genuinely funny, it would sound a lot like Scott Aaronson. Smart without being smug. Skeptical without being cynical. Optimistic without pretending the future is already here.
