For those of you that are new here.
Here’s my thesis on why gooncoin goes 20m plus.
The original coin was robbed of its potential due to Ben Pasternak the creator of the Believe platform being arrested then the Believe platform tanked to the floor. Taking all of the good coins with it.
Before the Believe nuke the original coin reached an ath of 70m.
@basedalexandoor the OG creator currently holds about 50% for supply control.
25% of that is locked until 2027. Increasing our volatility, keeping Jeets out and giving the real believers a solid entry point. While also resulting in a much stronger price action which means the initial upward movement will be insaneeee when @basedalexandoor does decide to confirm this as the official pumpfun gooncoin.
Compare this situation to any other 20m runner that didn’t blast of initial launch. Top Wallets usually hold high percentages scaring buyers away. No roadmap released.
No creator confirmation. Leaving everyone skeptical, then those catalyst’s actually happen then the coin blasts to oblivion.
@basedalexandoor knows exactly what to do. When to do it.
So far we’ve gotten several interactions out of him. He been buying back into the chart, burning and locking supply.
I think all we need is for him to confirm this as the official @pumpfun gooncoin, and then the rest is history. Gooncoin will carve itself a permanent spot into the pumpfun ecosystem.
We see several gooncoins per week but never the official one.
No doubt in my mind this will be the permanent gooncoin on chain. @basedalexandoor simply won’t let his reputation go like this.
Pumpfun has no ceilings and is built for community’s just like this one, arguably one of the largest, most undervalued community’s on chain at the moment.
Literally billions of people goon every single day, and that will never stop.
GOON SUMMER ‘26
There's a lot of confusion about the recently patched Zcash bug. Here's how to actually understand it.
If the bug had been exploited before the patch (very unlikely it was), it would have looked like the shielded pool getting drained. Whoever minted the counterfeit shielded ZEC would want to sell fast, before anyone else found the same bug. And remember, the market for ZEC is almost entirely transparent ZEC, not shielded. You can't dump freshly minted shielded ZEC on Binance or Coinbase without unshielding it first.
The losers in that scenario are shielded holders who sit still. The transparent portion of Zcash is fully visible, so it's trivial to enforce that transparent ZEC never exceeds max supply. If you try to unshield more than the cap, you'll get stopped at the door.
So if you hold transparent ZEC (anyone trading, on an exchange, or doing price discovery on ZEC) there's no marginal effect on you. The loss falls entirely on shielded holders.
The team's next step is a new turnstile and a fresh shielded pool in the coming upgrade, which will confirm the shielded pool was not inflated. Think of it as taking headcount at the end of the field trip--that will make sure no extra kids snuck onto the bus.
But while AI found this bug, AI will also deliver the fix for the whole category: formal verification. I'm very bullish on this as the path to harden all software across the industry. Formally verified cryptography can't have implementation bugs by construction.
Right now AI is surfacing vulnerabilities across all our software--browsers, OSes, and blockchains are no exception. We're in the awkward adolescence where every wart is getting magnified and put on full display. But formally verified software is the only path forward for mission-critical software, and Zcash has put it front and center on their roadmap to deliver.
Privacy is too important not to.
(Dragonfly holds $ZEC and continues to. I'm personally an investor in ZODL.)
