@durov Of course we believe you, but this is too important to leave at one tweet. It would be great to see a more detailed breakdown with numbers, examples, and exactly how these backups work in practice.

@durov The funniest part is that this entire story could have been avoided with about three lines of code: don’t put the message text into push notifications. Amazing how many “secure” messengers built disappearing messages on top of a system that stores them for a month.

@ASvanevik
Honest question.
If a chain deletes payload after state verification, what happens to long-term analytics?

Is “history” necessary — or just convenient?

“Blockchains Don’t Have a Privacy Problem — They Have a Memory Problem.”

The industry keeps patching privacy.
Maybe we should rethink permanence instead.

Скоро будет 24 февраля — 4 года полномасштабного вторжения в Украину.

Я считаю, что лучше оставить тот день для полной поддержки украинцев. Украине нужно много помощи — чтобы продолжать защищаться и чтобы минимизировать человеческие страдания от атак на жилые дома, энергосистему и т. д. Сегодня выскажу своё мнение с точки зрения будущего России.

Я смотрю на эту ситуацию частично с внутренней и частично с внешней перспективы. Я родился в России, моя семья вся русская, но вырос я в Канаде. Политическую ситуацию я всё время наблюдал. В 2017 году даже послал Навальному один биткоин, но сильно вовлечён не был. Я слежу за ситуацией через интернет, как все. И у меня есть свои политические инстинкты после 15 лет в крипте и всякой борьбы в Твиттере (Иксе?). У каждого есть право меня слушать или не слушать — как хотите.

Здесь напишу две части:

1. Почему я поддерживаю Украину и говорю, что эта война — преступная агрессия, а не «сложная ситуация, где обе стороны вели себя грязно», как говорят некоторые?
2. Про будущее: сегодняшний «тупик», идея «мира с народом России», и на основе каких идей может быть создано более положительное будущее России, и правильная роль идей «децентрализации», «цифровой демократии» и.т.д.

Privacy systems don’t fail because encryption is weak —
they fail because they remember too much.

Privacy systems rarely break.
They age.

Not because crypto fails,
but because history accumulates
and assumptions don’t survive time.

Deletion in distributed systems is mostly an illusion.

Encryption hides data.
History still exists.

Real deletion means the future cannot reconstruct the past.

Blockchains never forget.
That’s why privacy eventually fails.

I wrote about Zero-History vs Zero-Knowledge,
and why long-term privacy is an architectural problem,
not a cryptographic one.

@VitalikButerin This hierarchy assumes that data must persist to preserve state.
What if some systems verify state transitions, then intentionally expire historical data, so long-term state becomes lighter over time?

Building a Zero-History blockchain where data is verified and then removed — not stored forever.

@JamesWynnReal At this point, we might as well send a comet to wipe out our civilization. We've truly hit rock bottom — raising money for a gambling addict, just so he can lose it all again. I’m saving up to buy a home for my son, and I’ve never asked anyone for a single cent. It’s pure madness

[CZ 🔶 BNB @cz_binance]

Today, I stepped down as CEO of Binance. Admittedly, it was not easy to let go emotionally. But I know it is the right thing to do. I made mistakes, and I must take responsibility. This is best for our community, for Binance, and for myself.

Binance is no longer a baby. It is time for me to let it walk and run. I know Binance will continue to grow and excel with the deep bench it has.

I’m pleased to announce that @_RichardTeng, our now former Global Head of Regional Markets, has been named the new CEO of Binance today.

Richard is a highly qualified leader and, with over three decades of financial services and regulatory experience, he will navigate the company through its next period of growth. He will ensure Binance delivers on our next phase of security, transparency, compliance, and growth.

Prior to joining Binance, Richard was CEO of the Financial Services Regulatory Authority at Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM); Chief Regulatory Officer of the Singapore Exchange (SGX); and Director of Corporate Finance in the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

With Richard and the entire team, I’m confident that the best days for @Binance and the crypto industry lay ahead.

As a shareholder and former CEO with historical knowledge of our company, I will remain available to the team to consult as needed, consistent with the framework set out in our U.S. agency resolutions.

What’s next for me?

I will take a break first. I have not had a single day of real (phone off) break for the last 6 and half years.

After that, my current thinking is I will probably do some passive investing, being a minority token/shareholder in startups in areas of blockchain/Web3/DeFi, AI and biotech. I am happy that I will finally have more time to spend looking at DeFi.

I can’t see myself being a CEO driving a startup again. I am content being an one-shot (lucky) entrepreneur. Should there be listeners, I may be open to being a coach/mentor to a small number of upcoming entrepreneurs, privately. If for nothing else, I can at least tell them what not to do.

On that note, I am proud to point out that in our resolutions with the U.S. agencies they:

- do not allege that Binance misappropriated any user funds, and
- do not allege that Binance engaged in any market manipulation.

Funds are SAFU!

With that, I look forward to seeing the new leadership take the reins. Please join me in congratulating Richard on his well-deserved promotion.

Onwards!

CZ
