Always. Keep stacking. #Bitcoin

[Michael Saylor @saylor]

Time for #Bitcoin.

[THORChain @THORChain]

The $ZEC pool is now live on THORChain.

The network churned and every node is watching the Zcash chain. @Zcash now has a truly permissionless venue.

Trading is the next step. Liquidity is shallow for now and will grow over time, so trade with caution in the early days.

[∞/21M⚡️ @SgtStackSats]

@sunil_trades How about disputed claims?

[∞/21M⚡️ @SgtStackSats]

@sunil_trades What can one do if it still says 'Disputed'?

@sunil_trades Is there a timeline for these disputed claims?

[∞/21M⚡️ @SgtStackSats]

@sunil_trades Partially received too! What can one do when one of two claims is still disputed (for no apparent reason)?

[∞/21M⚡️ @SgtStackSats]

@sunil_trades Thanks man! I've not filed a proof of claim, and am from NL. Still says 'Disputed'. What could be the reason and what can I do?
