@4windsbar I really thought perfect sleep could compete, but no, the baseline brain is defiantly resistant to perpetual motivation. Overly-conservative biology presets that served our ancestors, justifies stimulant overrides to tap into the fullest potential we are safely capable of.
@ToddGack15 You wouldn't believe how much of my life I wasted on that exact topic. It's a fad, grotesquely inferior to later-emergent blockchain tech, yet perpetually propped up by the maxi cartels via market manipulation and propaganda campaigns. It'll run out of greater fools eventually.
@KingOf65667 What we have is often sold as capitalism, but it's really a pyramid scheme, so yes, we can agree it's not capitalism, but that just means the idealized fabled form of capitalism is entirely a pipe dream; impossible to implement in practice.
@KingOf65667 This is the only kind of capitalism that exists; one gigantic pyramid scheme. Your fictional "fair-market" version without oversight or regulations is a fairy tale and not only doesn't exist, but cannot exist because of human nature.
1/9 I've been one of the louder $ZEC bulls for years.
Most of my @CryptoCharged team built positions under $50 alongside me.
We've sat through privacy-ban narratives, exchange delistings, regulatory pressure, and years of people calling Zcash dead.
I've now made additional reductions to my position.
Not because I think inflation happened.
Because I can't prove it didn't.
So the truth comes out. While nobody can prove that $ZEC was exploited to produce infinite coins, the fact that the $ZEC pump was so isolated and dramatic is VERY TELLING evidence that an exploit was how the widespread influencer pump campaign was paid for.
Suckers.
*Laughs in libertarian, privacy advocate, and long time $ZEC holder*
I’ve spent years studying, defending, and investing in ZEC because I genuinely believe privacy matters and because I appreciated the technology and monetary model behind it.
The issue many maxis are missing is that Ironwood doesn’t make potential counterfeit claims disappear. It simply accelerates reconciliation.
If the Orchard bug was exploited, someone ultimately absorbs that discrepancy. The common response is that dormant balances or lost funds will cover the gap.
Maybe.
But the entire reason we’re having this discussion is that there is no way to prove that inside a shielded environment.
I still appreciate the technology.
I still appreciate the mission.
But pretending this hasn’t damaged one of the core assumptions behind the investment thesis, at least in the short term, isn’t analysis.
@madave_lui At the end of the day, visibility here is all about X revenue. I'm apparently not fondling the right algorithmic gonads. Still way better than my life in the real world though. I sometimes go days between people telling me to get out of the way.
Watching all the $ZEC cartel super-grifters trying to save their bags by breaking their jaws with all the double-talking cope and 'trust me bro' pseudo-tech jargon, desperately twisting delicately framed Orchard pool evacuation proposals, lol.. Cry baby cry.
@blankoween Congratulations on not even getting past the first tweet. Maybe try reading all of the thread and actually understanding it before running your mouth like a clueless jackass.
