If you aren't following the Metaplanet controversy, you need to, it's juicy. Essentially the CEO, Simon Gerovich, has an old, ill talked about options contract carried over from before Metaplanet became a bitcoin treasury company that weren't excersized yet until now, where he receives a fixed PERCENTAGE of the Metaplanet shares, not a fixed amount. So all this time while he's been mass diluting shareholders like it's the Weimar Republic, not only did Simon face zero dilution, the dilution caused Simon's share count to absolutely skyrocket,

Charles basically telling $ADA holders it's over...
Bitcoin has plenty of privacy tools. If you can't figure out how to use bitcoin privately, that's ultimately a skill issue, not a protocol issue.
Onchain it appears
@Sequans has continued selling, I estimate they have about 563 BTC left between these two addresses:
The biggest adoption story bitcoin has had in years....
A government using bitcoin not as a parlor trick, but because they actually NEED bitcoin. Their bank accounts get frozen. Their gold gets seized. They need something unconfiscatable, something without counterparty risk.

Holy crap. I think it's real
get a load of this retard
Imagine being so deep in a cult that you call a proof of work, no premine, privacy coin a shitcoin and then have absolutely no clue that Hal wanted it to exist back in 1993 when he wrote:
“Cryptography can make possible a world in which people have control over information about themselves, not because government has granted them that control, but because only they possess the cryptographic keys to reveal that information..
..The goal of electronic cash is to allow these same kinds of private transactions to take place electronically"
From Protecting Privacy with Electronic Cash
Zoko remembers because he's a real cypherpunk that grew up with Hal, Adam and the rest. The Bitcoin Maxi cargo cult doesn't. They bought an orange coin because Mike told them it will make them rich.

Everything you said is a total fabrication or distortion. Zcash is a premined shitcoin. When 25% of every block reward a miner finds gets stolen from the miner, and the funds automatically get funneled in to the dev wallet, that is just premining by another name. It's basically a premine with a timelock that only unlocks after miners find blocks.
And Hal Finney was not for Zcash, he was for adding privacy to THE BITCOIN PROTOCL via Zerocoin. Zerocoin project never materialized. Zcash is not Zerocoin. He never endorsed Zcash. He never even heard of it. Zcash came out many years after his death. Zooko going on stage and telling a crowd of people that Hal Finney secretly hated bitcoin and was Zcash's first user is not only a lie, it's extremely disrespectful to Hal and his family. He's distorting a dead man's legacy with a bunch of lies to pump his shitcoin. It's easy to lie about dead people and use them as marketing props because they aren't alive correct you. Also, Hal's family has stuck around, you see them sometimes go on podcasts. Guess what, they are bitcoiners. They aren't shilling Zcash.

Somehow missed this.
The tokenized STRC offering, launched by the MSTR True North guys and promoted aggressively by
@Saylor, shut down and refunded token holders. Who could have guessed that was going to happen? 😂😂

>>"Hal was the first Zcasher"
Imagine going on stage and distorting a dead man's legacy with lies to pump your shitcoin....what a low life.

@zooko: "Bitcoin is not a payment system that can empower individuals the way Zcashers and Hal Finney would have wanted."
Instead of building businesses with real operating revenues, they have pissing contests on who can payout their dividends on the smallest timescale possible. 🙄🙄
I trust a brand new car, freshly drove off the lot more as a store of value than I do ETH.
It's not just that Saylor is shilling ETH DeFi, it's that he's been going on podcasts, telling you to repackage, releverage and reloop the trade again, again and again.
An insanely irresponsibe thing to promote after we just had the worst month for hacks in DeFi history...
