If you want to understand the origins of Zcash and why it matters, read the Cypherpunk's Manifesto.
@cypherpunk $CYPH was founded on these values and our mission is to support, foster, and promote them far and wide. Onward.

Well said. AI and privacy are like yin and yang.
@will__mcevoy on AI and Zcash:
"AI is becoming much more ingrained into society. It's a super competent analysis engine for information"
"In a world where you have AI, you also need the flip side. You need privacy"
"AI and privacy are really like yin and yang."

The communists want to destroy election integrity by legalizing voter fraud. Vote ‘Yes’ on Prop 39 on November 3rd in order to require voters in California to present photo ID to vote. This is common sense and any other position is indefensible.
Prop 39 released a new ad today highlighting what politicians don’t want you to know: California is one of a handful of states that don’t require a photo ID to vote.
Prop 39 is a battle of politicians versus people.
Politicians want you to vote no.
The People are voting yes.
This ad is a parody, but the problem is not.
The politicians want to protect their power and money. We want to give it back to you.
Vote Yes on Prop 39.

Zcash is not a trade, but it is the hedge to AI.
@tyler on Zcash and AI:
"I would never consider Zcash a trade. But it is the other side of the AI coin.
The more parabolic and meteoric the rise of AI, the more scarce an asset privacy is going to become."

@cameron: "Cash was centralized but private. Bitcoin took a big leap forward in creating decentralized money, but it's public, and Zcash completes the arc because it's decentralized money that is private."

The Founding Fathers would have owned Zcash. It's American values and the Bill of Rights encoded into money. 🇺🇸
Zcash is a technology that preserves and expands human rights. It protects your financial privacy in the age of AI — the antidote to AI-fueled surveillance and tyranny.

Staking 2.0 @Gemini
TL;DR:
-designed to meet customer demand for more staking assets while keeping reliability at the center of our mission. @HyperliquidX became our 4th supported asset last month, attracting more than $16 million in AUM.
-the new platform gives you a consistent way to stake, unstake, and earn rewards, while handling each blockchain’s specific operations behind the scenes. Retryable workflows and near-real-time checks help it recover from interruptions and surface differences early.
-since Staking 2.0 launched, staking activity has continued to grow while system-related support tickets have declined. AI workflows helped accelerate the rebuild, with engineers overseeing design and critical decisions.
Onward.

privacy is a human right
Tyler Winklevoss explains why he believes privacy is a fundamental human right
“I see privacy as the boundary where government stops and your freedom and self-sovereignty begins. So it's this really important boundary”
“We have this enshrined with the Fourth Amendment, to some extent the Second Amendment and encryption is a peaceful, nonviolent Second Amendment that protects you and your space and your privacy”
“Government tends to go just one way like more surveillance, more trampling on your rights, more coercion, more violence”
“This is a mathematical way to stop that and to stifle that and really uphold the American values and ethos in our Constitution”
“Privacy is a human right”

At some point during our fireside at @token2049, @cameron asked the audience to raise their hands if they owned Zcash. About 10 hands went up in a room of full of thousands of people.
it's early.

Level-headed take by Ben Affleck. Ironic because Hollywood has the reputation for world-class bullshitting. When it comes to AI, however, Silicon Valley wins the Oscar for best dramatic performance.
Ben Affleck says AI is simply matrix multiplication, linear algebra and floating point calculations, and however convincingly it sounds like a person, it has nothing to do with thought, humanity or feeling
“Nor do I believe, and I think it’s important to draw the distinction between what AI does, which is simply predict the next token or the next word in a sentence, then add that word on, run it back to the machine, do a lot of computation and pick the next word."
"That is a very different thing than sentience or thought. And I think we need to be really clear about that because it can be convincingly, in an illusory way, sound like thought or like a person."
"But let’s be real clear. This is matrix multiplication. This is linear algebra. These are floating point calculations. It has nothing to do with thought, humanity, or feeling.”

@will__mcevoy on the Zcash mining opportunity:
"There is a massive opportunity in Zcash mining. It is extremely profitable"
"So many Bitcoin miners unplugged their machines, outfitted their data centers for AI and HPC, and said: come plug in your GPUs and pay us for that"
"AI colocation was definitely a good step up for them, but it is nowhere close to Zcash mining"

.@cameron: “We filed today for a Zcash ETF.
13 years ago we did the same thing for a Bitcoin ETF. The price of Bitcoin in 2013 was $100.
13 years later, this is the sequel, and we filed for the Winklevoss Zcash ETF.
And so we’re excited about that, and just to give people access to this asset class who may want to buy Zcash in a brokerage account because they can’t hold Zcash, the asset, and they want exposure to privacy, which is an asset, and it’s a declining asset.
It’s a very precious asset.”
