A year later, I’m still shocked by Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

I didn’t agree with everything he stood for, but no one deserves to be killed for their beliefs.

Politics aside, we’re all human. Let’s never lose that humanity.

Rest in peace, Charlie Kirk.🕊️

Few things can damage an otherwise reasonable mind in the way that political info hazards can.

Gibney should just retire. It’s clear that he’s lost the plot as a documentarian due to politics.

[Doge Tipping @Dogetothemoon]

Alex Gibney at Venice: reusable rockets “weren’t new,” Elon Musk “isn’t the one who does it,” and “noble cause corruption” let America elect a president whose goal is to “destroy the planet.”

Here's the fact check:

Reusable ideas are old. Shuttle. DC-X. Paper rockets from the ’60s.

What wasn’t old: landing an orbital-class booster and flying it again. First time was Falcon 9, Dec 21, 2015. First reuse: 2017. Shuttle: ~$54,000/kg. Falcon 9 reusable: ~$1,500–$3,000/kg. That’s a ~90%+ collapse in the cost of getting to space. Europe and ULA said it wouldn’t work.

Elon Musk made it work.

Yes, engineers build the hardware. Gwynne Shotwell runs the company. Tom Mueller designed the engines.

Also true: without the person who put his last money on the line after three Falcon 1 failures and refused to treat the first stage as scrap, you get SLS and Ariane prices.

Calling Tesla/SpaceX “Enron with better PR” is lazy. Enron and Theranos sold nothing. Tesla forced the global auto industry onto EVs. 20M+ electric cars sold worldwide in 2025. ~1.2 million barrels of oil displaced per day. US CO2 from energy is still ~18–20% below 2005.

“Destroy the planet” is a sermon, not a measurement. You can argue energy policy. You cannot pretend the company that commercialized mass-market EVs and crashed launch costs is the same story as a blood-test fraud.

Gibney didn’t interview Elon. He built a 4-hour morality play and cast “the end justifies the means” as the plot. The means here were cheaper access to space and cars that don’t burn gasoline.

The documentary is the noble cause.

Humans move in many subtle yet complex ways, and this is how you could cut corners around that challenge.

@AdrianDittmann If you can’t understand that regulation and privacy can coexist, you’ll never understand $ZEC.

Wall Street doesn’t fear government oversight. They fear their competitors seeing their positions.

That’s just one of the many real-world use cases for privacy.

@AdrianDittmann if that was all Tusass could just buy starlink capacity and distribute that.

Zcash’s biggest obvious flaw: privacy only holds z-to-z.

t-addresses are public, and most exchanges use them. Unshielding exposes amounts and timing, making users easier to link.

There are other flaws, but this one stands out

[Adrian.D @D_Adrian16]

The premise of what makes Zcash unique as a “privacy coin” is fundamentally flawed.

An obvious flaw is that shielding and unshielding are public accounting events that can deanonymize users.

[Chun @satofishi]

Zcash’s latest rally is a narrative bid. A big market cap does not mean a coin earned its place. Sitting near Solana and Hyperliquid on a ranking list does not mean Zcash does what those two do.

The launch was not fair. For the first four years, 20 percent of every block reward was taken as the Founders’ Reward. That money went to founders, staff, advisors, and early investors. It added up to 2.1 million ZEC, or 10 percent of the 21 million cap. Bitcoin paid miners. Zcash also paid a company and its backers. When that first cut was supposed to stop, a similar 20 percent cut came back as a “development fund”. A coin that writes itself into the block reward should not be sold as clean, neutral money.

The cut did not buy a real economy. Privacy was the sales pitch. Using it was optional. Open addresses stayed the easy path for exchanges and simple wallets. For most of Zcash’s life, most coins sat in the open. Optional privacy is marketing. Default privacy is the protocol. Management stayed a board fight: Electric Coin Company, the Foundation, Bootstrap, the brand name, the wallet, and who gets the cut. In January 2026 the whole ECC team left and said they were pushed out. That is not a side issue. That is how the project runs. A base-layer team that cannot stay in the same building as its nonprofit board is not “decentralized.” It is broken at the top.

Then came the security mess the market is already trying to skip. In May 2026 a serious bug in the Orchard pool was made public. It had been there about four years. In theory it could create fake ZEC with no clear on-chain trail. Because the pool is private, nobody can prove fake coins were never made. Ironwood in July closed the old pool and forced coins through a gate. That is cleanup, not a reason for a top-ten price. A money whose private supply cannot be checked like Bitcoin, and that needed an emergency fix after a four-year bug, is not “hard money.”

The point is plain. An unfair launch, a team cut without a matching product, years of board drama, and a four-year hole in the private pool are not the record of a top-ten network. They are the record of a story coin. Solana and Hyperliquid can be disliked for their own reasons. They still clear real use. Zcash cleared a listing and a squeeze. Those are not the same thing. Mixing them up is like sending 701.4 of the wrong asset, or treating EST and EDT as the same hour.
