Not a single word is untrue
It is a clear-sighted DIAGNOSIS + WARNING of political hucksters who lie for power so they can control, cheat, steal
Highly-functioning, moral societies are built around freedom, liberty, risk and reward.
Privacy is the precondition for many of our freedoms. It’s the point at which government and corporate reach end and our individual freedoms and self-sovereignty begin. As our lives have moved online, privacy’s become a rare, vanishing commodity.
That’s why we founded Cypherpunk (@cypherpunktech) — a company dedicated to privacy and self-sovereignty. We will execute on our mission by accumulating, building, and supporting privacy-protecting assets and technologies at a time when the world needs them more than ever.
To that end, Cypherpunk — Ticker: $LPTX (today), $CYPH (tomorrow) — was launched with a $50 million+ investment from @winklevosscap to begin accumulating Zcash ($ZEC) at what we believe to be a significant discount to Zcash’s true long-term value. Cypherpunk currently holds 203,775 ZEC purchased at an average price of ~$245 per coin, representing ~1.25% of the current ZEC supply. We plan to continue accumulating ZEC rapidly so that Cypherpunk owns at least 5% of the total ZEC supply.
Since Zcash’s launch 9 years ago, we’ve observed its highly symbiotic relationship with bitcoin. Zcash is a fork of Bitcoin and shares identical tokenomics — both have a fixed total supply of 21 million coins. If bitcoin is digital gold, Zcash is encrypted bitcoin, or digital cash. One is your store of value, the other is how you privately move your value. We’ve been tracking this symbiosis for years and believe that now — as we enter the age of AI — is the right time to begin accumulating ZEC.
We feel strongly that Zcash could become a meaningful percentage of Bitcoin’s market capitalization — just on the merits of it being a privacy hedge or insurance policy to Bitcoin’s transparency alone. We believe bitcoin will continue to ascend to $1,000,000 per coin over the next 5-10 years. We also believe Zcash will appreciate significantly from here as well. These coins go hand in hand.
Over the next few weeks, we’ll continue to lay out our thesis. In the meantime, we’re excited to have you join us as we stack zats and invest in other technologies that promote privacy and self-sovereignty. Let us proceed together apace.
Onward.
Ppl ridiculed me last year when I took out the billboard calling for Tomlin to go. Idc anymore. I’ve vocally beaten this drum loudly since the 2017 jags loss. And 8 years later, Mike Tomlin’s defenses are still having the same exact failures. How can the loyalists defend it? How?
Then came one of the most infuriating parts of the press conference: Kennedy revealed how autism research funding has been misdirected for years.
He said the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has pumped 10 to 20 times more money into studying genetic causes of autism than into researching environmental ones.
That, Kennedy said, is a dead end.
“This is a preventable disease. We know it’s an environmental exposure. It has to be. Genes do not cause epidemics,” he argued.
That’s why Kennedy says he’s redirecting resources toward the kind of research that’s long been neglected—into environmental factors.
“And that’s where we’re going to find the answer,” he added.
