Dood van Henry Nowak is schandaal: politiemensen geloven voetstoots moordenaar van kleur, niet stervende blanke jongen. Maar opbouw reportage laat indruk na dat politieke woede erover fout en uiterst-rechts is. Typische framing. Vgl eens met reactie op ander ‘I can’t breathe’.
Important moment for ZEC/BTC
We haven't seen this price since 2019 and if the rally continues, we could see a blow-off rally to $6,000+ per ZEC
Why?
Price in satoshis is an important indicator in crypto. Traders, investors algos and probably AI Agents now watch these key levels and trade around them
I predict that ZEC will continue hardening in relative BTC terms. This climb is far from over and the thesis strengthens as it goes up
It's wild how much demand there is for $ZEC on Coinbase that market makers can't arb the price down to where it is trading on other exchanges. $20 higher on CB and the ratio is growing
INSIGHT: @zcash activates the NU6.2 hard fork after patching a zero-knowledge proof vulnerability in its Orchard shielded pool that could have enabled double-spending, resolved with no user funds lost or supply inflated.

🚨UPDATE: ZCASH NETWORK WAS NOT DOWN
The apparent outage was caused by block explorers failing to update after a coordinated network upgrade addressing an Orchard pool vulnerability.
Earlier, explorers showed no new blocks after block 3,364,601 at 5:27 a.m. UTC for more than 4 hours, sparking fears the chain had gone offline.
what's crazy about zcash is that it's performing this well in the face of widespread fake news attacks (no, network was not down at all)
and one of the coldest crypto markets in a long time
it hasn't even experienced a bull market yet
