SpaceX refused to take $967,815 of my money today. I tried to buy $1,000,000 of $SPCX at IPO. The largest offering in human history was so oversubscribed they could only fill 831 of my 8,000 shares. It's officially harder to give Elon Musk money than to earn it. I'll take my 831 shares to the grave. I own a piece of the company taking humanity to Mars. Congrats @elonmusk and everyone at @SpaceX.

I confused denial with conviction and somehow ended up $292,684.85 in profit. Bought $BB in 2021, forgot it existed, and apparently the market rewarded me for not checking my account. I wish there was a smarter explanation.

I was quietly buying ZEC through the dump while everyone was "bored" of privacy. Added ~3,047 $ZEC over the last 5 months to my long term portfolio. Avg entry this year is $235. 4 digits will come faster than people expect.

JUST IN: $XMR erases all of its weekly gains. Aged like wine.

$XMR pumped from $420 to $800 turns out it was a $282M exploit converting stolen BTC and LTC to Monero same people who called the $ZEC pump "manipulated" are quiet right now privacy works (that's why criminals use it and that's why you should too) the difference is why you need it, not whether you need it. Zcash 🛡️

Seems I got late to the party. Here's why the $ZEC FUD is nonsense: 1. The network is running and blocks are being produced, Zcash does not need ECC to function. 2. ECC was one development team (they just rebranded), not the protocol. Zcash Foundation still exists, community developers still exist, and the code is open source. 3. Shielded pool keeps growing. The people who use Zcash for actual privacy are not selling because of org drama. I survived every "Zcash is dead" headline for 8 years. I hope you did too.

Another major data breach for @Ledger If you use Ledger in 2026, you're a fool. Also, every exchange will share your tx history with governments. Encrypt the money.

Happy new year everyone. Some predictions for 2026: - Zcash breaks $1000; - $XMR also breaks $1000; - Privacy narrative goes mainstream; - Chain analytics companies pivot to "compliance"; - CT still won't understand until it's obvious. Monk mode on. Patience!

The difference is architectural.

Privacy stack for 2026: Tools: - Proton not gmail - Signal not Telegram - VPN always on - TOR / DuckDuckGo Crypto: - Zcash - Self-custody only - Shielded transactions default - Separate wallets per use - Never reuse addresses You don't need to live in a rainforest. You just need better defaults.
