BREAKING: Researchers at Imperial College London propose framework for post-quantum private transfers on Bitcoin without a need for a soft fork 👀

[Cypherpunk @cypherpunk]

Money was private for thousands of years, right up until the second half of the 20th century.

Transparent money is an anomaly historically speaking.

Zcash is the correction.

[Teej 🎒📈 @TeejCapital]

I think one of the biggest financial mistakes people make is trying to look successful BEFORE they actually become successful.

$900 car payment.
$3,000 apartment.
$15,000 in credit card debt.
$400 in savings.

Meanwhile somebody driving a 2015 Toyota has $150,000 invested.

You really can't judge somebody's finances by what they're driving.

[Zodl @zodl_app]

Ledger support is live in Zodl for iOS and Android.

You can now connect your Ledger via bluetooth to Zodl and use your hardware-secured ZEC directly in-app.

Update to Zodl 3.17.0 today.

if you live in the uk and do crypto get the fuck out

just got my house invaded, taped up held at knife point & robbed for $800k

in so much shock i dont know what the fuck to do, fuck this country. No this is not satire, i fucking wish it was.

[Porter @PorterNovaX]

You tracked transparent transactions, analysed deposits and withdrawals, and made correlations based on timing and amounts.

Congratulations.

You discovered that transparent transactions are transparent.

Now show me where Zcash's zero knowledge cryptography was broken.

I'll wait.

I don’t think many people understand that if $ZEC loses, everyone in the world loses.

Technology is advancing at a rapid pace. It won’t be long before AI models will be able to read all transactions done on Bitcoin and link up payments to people.

CBDC’s are banned under executive order - for *this* administration. Just like we’ve seen before, executive orders are quickly null and void when the next administration comes into office.

Bitcoin was the test run for blockchain technology. It has proven it works. The ultimate goal is the tokenization of all assets. This includes your car, your house, everything (hence the “you will own nothing” from Klaus). Afterward, there will be a CBDC issued to all, most likely with some form of universal basic income attached or, as Elon calls it, ‘universal high income’.

COVID was test run for compliance. It, too, proved that it worked. People coughed and were told they had COVID, so they wore masks while they walked to their dinner table then took them off to eat. They told you to forget human connection and trust the science while silencing real scientists who had important information to tell the world. People who died in car accidents were marked COVID deaths. They filled in sand at the skateboard parks and told you that you couldn’t see your elderly family in the nursing homes. As Bill Gates said, and I quote, “if the last pandemic didn’t get their attention, the next one definitely will.” Most likely that will be a virus that spreads through computers; a cyber security panic. (This is just my best guess)

What most aren’t understanding here is that they are phasing out any ramp that allows you to leave their system. It’s putting you in a controllable digital box. Digital surveillance, financial surveillance, physical surveillance via all the cameras at stores, roadways, etc - everything will be tightly controlled, including your behavior. If you attend somewhere they suddenly deem “non-essential”, funds could theoretically be frozen. Or whatever the next administration wants to conjure up.

Don’t forget what this world has done to its people. This was every country in lockstep against you. And many people have been censored, cancelled, or worse, unalived, for sharing these messages.

Private money *must win* so that you are not associated with this system and level of control that is being prepared. This is *not* a call to uprising. I would never call for that and I want to make that very clear. What this is, is a call to being proactive and having already prepared your finances by transacting privately. Stop using banks. Stop shopping at big box retail stores. Use shielded money and shop local, support your community.

This isn’t about coin versus coin.
It’s about control versus freedom.

Nie no, kino z tymi ledgerami. Z jednej strony poważna sprawa, bo mówimy o pieniądzach, czasem naprawdę o grubych pieniądzach, a z drugiej strony technologia, która miała zmienić finanse, doprowadziła nas do momentu, w którym ważymy portfele na wagach kuchennych albo jubilerskich, a później jeszcze rozpruwamy wnętrzności.

Nie wiem co o tym myśleć, no hit.

🚨🇺🇸 PRESIDENT TRUMP once said:

“Maybe we’ll wipe out our $35 trillion national debt with a little Bitcoin.”

More recently, Trump suggested the US could inflate its way out of debt.

The idea? Print dollars, buy real assets, let prices soar, and inflate away the $40 trillion debt.

I hope you own Bitcoin & crypto. 🚀

Microsoft Central Bank Zero Knowledge Proof ZKP Currency

Central Bank Digital Currencies face a brutal trilemma: how do you guarantee user privacy, verify the entire banking system isn’t faking balances, and eliminate single points of failure for cyberattacks?

A Microsoft patent from Srinath Setty et al. proposes a solution: zkCBDC.

Today, CBDCs are stuck between two extremes:
* Centralized databases: Good for privacy from the public, but create massive central targets for hackers and lack independent verification.
* Public blockchains: Decentralized and transparent, but expose transaction histories to anyone watching.

Enter Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs).

In Microsoft’s design, commercial banks act as Provers.
When you make a transaction, your bank processes it internally off-chain. The bank then:
* Hashes the transaction amounts (or batches them together).
* Generates a succinct zero-knowledge proof confirming: "We followed the rules, money wasn't created out of thin air, and balances check out."

The Blockchain acts as the Verifier.
The smart contract on-chain holds only a cryptographic commitment (a root hash) of each bank's state—not customer identities, account balances, or purchase details.
When the bank submits the ZK proof + transaction hash, the smart contract verifies it mathematically in milliseconds.

Who runs the network?
The nodes verifying these proofs are the Central Bank and financial regulators.
They can mathematically guarantee system-wide solvency, prevent double-spending, and audit the entire economy in real time—without ever seeing who bought what at a retail level.

What about moving money between different banks?
The patent uses a Two-Phase Commit Protocol:
* Phase 1: The sending bank processes the debit, submits its ZKP, and locks the state on-chain.
* Phase 2: Once committed, the receiving bank submits its own ZKP to claim and credit the funds.
Zero reconciliation lag, zero counterparty exposure.

It even tackles cross-border FX and bond settlements through atomic Swaps:
* Banks route funds into temporary on-chain escrow/swap accounts.
* Both sides post ZK proofs of the locked assets.
* Once verified, the contract enforces a simultaneous burn-and-mint across both currencies. If either side fails, the whole trade rolls back.

The takeaway: Instead of forcing governments to choose between complete financial surveillance or total black-box banking, ZK roll-up architectures offer a third way.
Math proves the system is honest, while cryptography keeps private financial lives private.

NEW EPISODE - Cypherpunk Owns $500M of Zcash and 18% of Its Hashrate

@cypherpunk holds nearly $500M in $ZEC, controls ~18% of its mining hashrate, and has its sights set on 5% of the total supply.

@will__mcevoy, CIO of Cypherpunk Technologies, joins @TrustlessState to unpack the company's massive Zcash bet and why AI could make financial privacy more important than ever. They dive into Zcash's explosive comeback, why its mining economics resemble Bitcoin's early gold rush, and the strategy behind accumulating and holding ZEC.

🚨EUROPOL CITES STARKWARE ON QUANTUM THREATS!

Europol’s October report on quantum threats to crypto says account abstraction can reduce wallet exposure by enabling zero-knowledge proofs such as ZK-STARKs. The footnote points to StarkWare’s explainer.

The report’s core message is to act now.

StarkWare is targeting 2027 for Starknet’s full post-quantum transition and is considering an L1 path, though no migration has been approved yet.
