Well, I did warn that Zcash ($ZEC) was developed from technology originating at Tel Aviv University, involved a venture-funded private company that charged a 15% founders’ tax on mining, had prominent Zionist investors such as Barry Silbert, and relied on assurances from Zionists such as Peter Todd that the keys had been destroyed.

Based on those factors, I viewed it as a questionable Mossad honeypot.

You can search my history for warnings about this one.

BREAKING.: Biggest privacy token $ZEC crashed over -50% in the last 24 hours and wiped out $5 Billion from its market cap.

The flaw was hidden inside Zcash's Orchard privacy pool since May 2022 and remained undetected for nearly 4 years despite multiple security audits.

Security researcher Taylor Hornby reportedly used Claude Opus 4.8 AI model to build a working proof-of-concept that successfully generated counterfeit ZEC in local testing on May 29.

Although the bug has now been patched on June 2, The issue is that Zcash's privacy design makes it impossible to know if any fake ZEC was minted before the fix. Unlike Bitcoin, where anyone can verify the supply, Zcash's privacy design makes it impossible to audit whether fake coins were secretly minted before the fix.

The team denies any fake ZEC was minted, but traders are selling on the fear alone. Imagine someone secretly adding extra chips to a casino, but because of the way the system works, neither the casino nor the players could tell which chips were real and which were fake.

Shielded Labs is exploring a proposed Network Upgrade to allow anyone to verify the integrity of Zcash supply.

JUST IN: Zcash crashes 48% after Claude AI finds critical vulnerability allowing unlimited minting of $ZEC.

It went unnoticed for 4 years until it was patched on June 1st.

This is outrageous and infuriating.

On July 13, 2026 Microsoft is intentionally bricking Microsoft Office 2019 for Mac.

It's important to note that this is not "Subscription-based Software".

This is purchased software. Mac users bought a "permanent" license for Microsoft Office 2019 (for a one-time price of $149.99), with the understanding that they then can use that software forever.

But, in a little over a month, Microsoft will be putting that purchased software into "reduced functionality mode"... prohibiting all users from creating new documents or editing existing ones.

There is absolutely no excuse for this sort of deeply unethical behavior from @Microsoft.

The truest thing Nietzsche ever said;

"If you ki*ll a cockroach, you're a hero. If you kil*l a butterfly, you're evil. Therefore, morality has aesthetic standards."

🇬🇧 The Silver Swan Automaton has been running flawlessly for 250 years on nothing but mainsprings and brass gears.

Built in 1773 to last forever, and it did exactly that. We've somehow gone backwards.

Slowed it down until those few seconds became 40.

Turns out the ocean is doing something extraordinary every single moment.

We're just moving too fast to notice.

@chrsblanco @CoachDanGo Why do you prefer collagen peptides vs glycine?

[Alexander Schwarz @fermentedshell]

@AlameenAlii @proxy63s Gt has a lovely silhouette, Lexus interior is definitely superior.
Gt has more power and much better driving dynamics, lexus is more comfortable and has better engine sound
Personally I would take the lexus.

It is time for the United States Postal Service to ban junk mail.

Unsolicited spam calls are already prohibited by the FCC. Emails are heavily regulated by the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003. Junk mail is the majority of mail, 100 million trees per year. Enough!
