To all crypto, apply the Hal Finney test: "If you see a proposal for an electronic money system, check to see whether it has the ability to preserve the privacy of financial transactions the way paper money does today. If not, realize that the proposal is designed to harm, not
So you abandoned cash, made a totally transparent currency, broadcast every single financial activity to be stored on it forever, made people KYC to buy the currency, and never thought about the consequences?

Zcash can scale. Zcash must scale. Zcash will scale.
We are all in on Zcash. We need to scale Zcash to billions of users. Startups can scale, but nonprofits can't. That's why we created a new Zcash startup. https://t.co/ZurjfTxnPi

Listening to Trump, you might think Venezuela is a land of Golden opportunity. But that's not the case in 2026. In 2004, John Doody visited Hecla's and Crystallex mines, including the huge Las Cristinas deposit, since seized by the govt and closed. Here are his current comments

TL;DR - The ECC devs quit a non-profit to build a ZEC focused startup under @jswihart’s leadership. You can join the waitlist for the new wallet they’re creating today. The migration for every Zashi user will be seamless.

I hope some Zingo users haven't left this setting on and are inadvertently donating $5.30 with every transaction. 🫣 @ZingoLabs, would you like to update this amount, or make it a USD-relative one?

If z -> z transactions give you the best privacy it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what that will do to the price on a long enough time scale.

Josh brings hands-on leadership experience from the frontier of Zcash ecosystem development. His guidance will be core to our efforts as we take on a larger role in strengthening the Zcash ecosystem and accelerating innovation across the privacy tech stack.

As the founder of Zcash, @zooko intimately understands both the technical foundations and the philosophy behind privacy-preserving technology. His guidance will be invaluable as @cypherpunktech grows its Zcash treasury and supports new privacy innovation that strengthens freedom

> lie about what you "deanonymized" to get a few clicks > get dunked on > call people poor as a result (lol) fascinating strategy to call people poor when this is your token (yes, curious how an "intelligence platform" has a shitcoin as a token right?) zetardio
Credit to ZCASH ZOOKO for a very civilized response and appreciation of Arkham's contributions to the ecosystem. He's a big fan. Many keyboard privacy warriors / bots posting nasty things, nitpicking technical terminology concerning the tiny amounts they're hiding exclusively

@shieldedmark Zcash is cash. And it doesn't cost me 6 cents to pass a dollar bill around. Or send a SEPA transfer. The more we move away from frictionless cash, not only do more usecases perish, but the whole value proposition is eroded. https://t.co/ckOmn63qCq
@ebfull @toly @mert @KyleSamani Yeah we need to stop using these terms "store of value" "medium of exchange" "unit of account" its an academic exploration of the different aspects of money but people think they can be surgically removed from each other and they can't. If you can't exchange it you can't

@shieldedmark I remember talking to a waitress about accepting BTC. She asked how much it cost, if anything, to send. Around then it was upwards of a couple of bucks, depending on the day. I hedged and gave an optimistic 50 cents. She then asked why she would ever use BTC at a shopping mall,

Me: Mom, can we have Zerocash, or at least BIP-300? Mom: No, we have Bitcoin upgrades at home. Bitcoin upgrades at home:
Taproot is exceptionally quantum-vulnerable. Taproot "upgrade" paths are confiscatory. P2PKH is less vulnerable and could at least be recoverable with a network upgrade. Quantumroot is truly quantum-ready with global-scale throughput: more efficient sweeps than P2PKH.

I'm not sure how many on the outside understand this. The vast majority of ZEC has been distributed for nine years amongst diehard believers, each ready to be the last one to switch the lights off. There won't be enough ZEC. Plan accordingly.
@AltcoinSherpa I would have accumulated all the way to 0. As it happens, I'm accumulating to zillions.

If your business does more than $2.6M in yearly revenue across all locations you can't use Square's offering to accept Bitcoin. You get fiat.
@dangerblue As you receive bitcoin it will be stored in your Square bitcoin wallet. If you'd like to move it into self custody, you'll be able to do so manually (max $15k per day or $50k per week).
