Contrarian view - idc the tokenomics, buying a DEX token like $HYPE doesn’t work out in the long run. 🤷‍♂️

I know $STRK is privacy focused, and follows ZEC/the general market…but is it attracting devs? Early on in 2020 it was obvious that Solana was attracting quality, product-focused devs. It’s less obvious to me for Starknet, am I missing this?

Wait you didn’t buy $ZEC on the dip because you think someone actually exploited the pool? lol

Quick update on the last ~48 hours of Zcash Ironwood! 1. Protocol devs from across all the orgs met twice to discuss specification and implementation progress. Agreement on a couple additional changes: disabling Orchard pool bundles in coinbases, anchors as auth data for migration UX with hardware wallets, and the order that ZIPs and specs will be handled. 2. Ironwood circuit and ZIP 2005 integration drafts are going through the review process. @ValarGroup has already spun up testnets and his team has done a wonderful job scoping out and implementing some of the wallet-facing changes. We are beginning an Ironwood upgrade book for eventual consumption by auditors, wallets, protocol developers, etc.. 3. Formal verification work on Ironwood continues. A collection of different individuals who either have or will continue to work on formalization efforts will be meeting tomorrow where we'll settle on the specific strategy for getting the Ironwood SNARK formally verified. I'm hosting this and will post minutes and details after. Efforts from teams will be ideally combined where useful, existing approaches and progress unified and we'll figure out the easiest path for the next couple weeks. I've paused my own work on this to do Ironwood circuit stuff, but I'll be resuming on that tomorrow. These are the big pieces, there are also some major security auditing tasks taking place in the background -- at least three major firms are auditing Orchard currently, and multiple new AI auditing suites are hammering the codebases to ensure nothing else critical is sitting around anywhere. So far so good! Really proud of how much progress is being made every hour on this by all five of our major teams/orgs and our supporters inside and outside the community. Also love the general wartime vibe shift. Let's go!

Stop personifying AI. It’s not “thinking” - it’s processing It didn’t “say” anything - it outputted something This is actually important.

In many cases, tech is filled with folks who think they’re so smart they don’t need profits. They turn their brain off and drink the old school Silicon Valley “grow at all costs” kool-aid. Meanwhile the pizza place down the street is a much more sustainable business (and in most cases, provides more value). With that said, it’s possible to cut through the noise. I’ve seen more practical founders that care about running a sustainable business on a realistic timeline. Those are the folks I look for and deeply respect. I’ve loved tech since I was a kid and still find it fascinating to this day. I’d just like to see tech businesses generally be a bit more responsible and sustainable. It’s time more people say the quiet part out loud.

4. People who already understood the (obvious & long-discussed) possibility for undetectable inflation bugs, & risk-assessed & sized appropriately, are now realizing that formal verification can drop the risk *dramatically* fairly soon, & thus are *more* bullish than previously.

Here’s my dumb take post about why $ZEC is up: 1. Smooth brains who didn’t really understand what they invested in or what happened panic sold 2. Doom posters never held $ZEC or are part of the panic sold group 3. People taking a deep breath and sizing up the situation are buying or staying sidelined Result = zillions

Added some $ZEC at $365 IMO the bug being found and patched is actually very bullish for ZEC, and bearish for most of the rest of crypto - the reason is Mythos and other advanced AI will be able to find potential exploits in all crypto. ZEC just happens to be the one that has found and patched said exploit early, while most other projects haven't dealt with the issue yet.

I can’t take you seriously if you: 1. Unironically say cabal 2. Compare $ZEC to LUNA Thank you and gm

(i’m just joking. it’s true that we won’t know with absolute confidence but that’s just a technicality. practically we’ll know. and tbh we already know: it’s very very very unlikely that this was exploited)

people don't understand that all this has done is fired up the core team to prove everyone wrong

sooo whitehat did his job and we got a generational entry?

The future will belong to the convicted.

En mi opinión, “It was just found” es un poco mucho. Taylor Hornsby es uno de los mejores auditores del mundo que más conoce este tipo de pruebas Zk.

But how do you know an attacker didn’t sell billions of ZEC
