@mrgunn technological progress is a fundamental moral imperative for the betterment of mankind. it’s unbelievable how good of a thing it is and what an uphill battle we have
It's easy to forget that this year marks the 250th anniversary of the USA's independence.
Around 20 years ago, such a milestone would be celebrated with a year-long blitz of TV specials, movies, decorations, books, exhibits, etc.
Today, it barely registers as a footnote.
continue to believe that zcash is the last possible 1000x in crypto.
gov overreach, money printing, rise in socialism, quantum. all massive multi-decade tailwinds.
as with btc, don’t trade it. accumulate during periods of apathy and hold it for 10-20yrs.
Casual reminder your life’s importance has no correlation to what percentage of the universe your body occupies and you are the tip of the spear of emergent complexity amidst an otherwise entropic universe with the agency to consciously direct the future of it
new all-time high in shielded ZEC!
- zodl core team just raised 25M from a16z + paradigm
- tachyon is underway (scale + quantum)
- new world-class miners from foundry on the way
- new payments SDK being released
zcash is putting in work
encrypted money at planetary scale
It was the celebration of his murder from leftists everywhere, not the murder itself. People that you knew were openly just saying "I am glad that fucker died". Like, sheepish women that you knew irl would say this shit. Bloodthirsty
Changed my perspective on a lot of things
The original 5 layer is like quaaludes
No matter what someone tells you, you can never know what it was actually like and it can never be recreated by man
Zcash Open Development Lab (ZODL) has secured over $25 million in funding from a16z, Paradigm, Winklevoss Capital, Coinbase Ventures, Cypherpunk Technologies, Maelstrom (family office of Arthur Hayes), Chapter One, David Friedberg, Haseeb Qureshi, Mert, Balaji and others.
If you aren’t familiar, Zcash Open Development Lab (ZODL) is the team formerly known as Electric Coin Company (ECC), the group that launched Zcash, and the creator of @zodl_app. The name is new, but our team has been building Zcash for a decade.
A couple of years ago, my team and I set out to change the trajectory of Zcash with an uncompromising focus on the user experience for shielded ZEC. We released Zodl (then called Zashi) and have never looked back.
The release of the normie-friendly wallet was the first step. Then came integrations with partners like Flexa for retail spending and Keystone for cold storage. Most recently, we worked with the NEAR team to unlock ZEC swaps through NEAR intents.
It worked. The proof is in the numbers. The wallet has driven adoption of the Zcash shielded pool by over 400%, and facilitated more than $600M in ZEC swaps since October.
Now is the time to build on that momentum and accelerate. In addition to Zodl, we are building Zallet, a full node wallet that will also underpin new desktop software. Ultimately, we intend to deliver a private, decentralized financial system as an alternative to legacy institutions.
This funding allows us to bring these ambitions to life, without relying on Zcash dev fund grants to get there.
I’m grateful for these investors who are partnering with us. These are exciting days for the ZODL team and Zcash more broadly.
We’re in the dawn of a new era.
We will get ZEC in the hands of billions.

Onward.
If you’re 3 years into wondering why China hasn’t “taken the opportunity” to invade Taiwan, how much longer is it going to take before you start to wonder if you just don’t get how things work?
Imagine if the situation were reversed and stablecoins were status quo, such that everyone had their money in entities backed 1-1 with US Treasuries.
And then some guy came along and was like, "I have this new idea called fractional reserve banking..."
We would laugh him out of the room.
