Fascinating to see how certain individuals are spinning as a negative the fantastic work by the Zcash developer community to identify and remediate a vulnerability

LIVE NOW - Crypto Without Privacy Isn’t Crypto: The $ZEC Bull Case

@Mert and @tushar_jain join us to make the case for @Zcash as crypto’s private store of value.

In the episode:

- why privacy may be crypto’s missing primitive,
- the “private Bitcoin” thesis,
- how $ZEC becomes a Schelling point,
- shielded pools, quantum risk, and the return of cypherpunk money.

Enjoy.

@TheOtherParker_ At $1000 per share, I think you can treat yourself to a few more belt feds... just you know... as a suggestion

@ArbitrageAndy1 So this is what the warm embrace of collectivism feels like, eh?

[JK @jkillingit]

Whelp... if you're looking for a view into the second worst outcome of AI adoption (the worst being Terminator), look no further.

I spent 100 hours over the past week researching, writing and editing the piece we just put out.

It’s a scenario, not a prediction like most of our work. But it was rigorously constructed, dismissing it outright requires the kind of intellectual laziness that tends to get expensive.

And we’ve released it for free. Hopefully you enjoy it.

It appears we are intent on not learning from the euro dollar market.

Looks like stablecoins will be moving back offshore and out of the reach of US regulators and law enforcement?

Natsec folks should be irate with banks and oppose the bill now.

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

After reviewing the Senate Banking draft text over the last 48hrs, Coinbase unfortunately can’t support the bill as written.

There are too many issues, including:

- A defacto ban on tokenized equities
- DeFi prohibitions, giving the government unlimited access to your financial records and removing your right to privacy
- Erosion of the CFTC’s authority, stifling innovation and making it subservient to the SEC
- Draft amendments that would kill rewards on stablecoins, allowing banks to ban their competition

We appreciate all the hard work by members of the Senate to reach a bi-partisan outcome, but this version would be materially worse than the current status quo. We’d rather have no bill than a bad bill. Hopefully we can all get to a better draft.

We'll keep fighting for all Americans and for economic freedom. Crypto needs to be treated on a level playing field with the rest of financial services so we can build this industry in a safe and trusted way in America.

Bravo to @MichaelDell - This is the kind of old school, public good philanthropy we’ve been missing for decades in this country. https://t.co/QJTaJClpzj
