Replying to @zkDragon
@zkdragon on Tachyon: "Today, to process a million transactions in a block, a full node has to verify a million ZKPs. With Tachyon, it verifies one. And the state bloat is gone. Zcash has achieved the stateless blockchain everyone talked about." Infinite scalability.

The biggest takeaway from the ZCG debate is that most people who want ZCG either don’t understand principal agent problems, or they don’t care about violating them.
Zcash doesn’t need to re-invent the governance wheel. Stakeholder voting has worked in capital markets for centuries. Coinholder voting is just the onchain form-factor. Experimenting in governance is not part of the Zcash mission. Its mission is privacy. It’s time to end ZCG and all the distractions and misalignment that come with it.

Only nuclear company chosen by the Navy, Army and Air Force. @RadiantNuclear is America's Nuclear company.
The @USNavy has selected Radiant to deploy our Kaleidos microreactor at Naval Weapons Station Crane, Indiana. With this selection, Radiant is now the only nuclear microreactor company with partnerships across the Army, Navy and Air Force. The Navy has more than 70 years of safe reactor operations. It wrote the playbook on reactor safety. Earning its confidence is powerful independent validation of Kaleidos. This milestone moves us closer to our goal: reliable, resilient nuclear power wherever the mission demands. Through our work with all three branches, we’re building a clear path from military deployment to nuclear energy at scale for government and commercial customers.

This is Zcash Founder btw Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn Satoshi Nakamoto literally cites Zooko's blog on decentrailzed money on Bitcoin's first webpage Satoshi was looking for a way of zero-knowledge-proofs and this is exactly what zcash:native solves!
ZEC going from $0 to $17bn in less than a decade is important, because Zcash is important for society. A civilization requires three coordination primitives to survive and prosper: communication, computation, and money. Zcash is money. Money for an infinite civilization.

A regret of mine is not being old enough at Bitcoin’s inception in 2009 (I was 9) to be a proponent in the biggest revolution in money for 6,000 years since Gold became adopted as a SOV in ancient Egypt. I will seize that opportunity with @Zcash Zcash is the greatest revolution in money since Bitcoin. We live in an increasingly surveilled world uncovered by advancing frontier models probabilistically determining who you are, where you are and how much you own. Public blockchains, by nature of broadcasting transactions to the network, have been inherently flawed since their inception. Our own, Satoshi, recognised this and hypothesised an encrypted future. We are in the throes of the greatest monetary revolution in history, with digitally hard encrypted money replacing surveilled fiat money in an ever-Orwellian world. Privacy is a fundamental human right, and artificial intelligence is jolting human intelligence into realising it. Be a part of human history. Stay encrypted. zcash:native

We are running the 21m meme back from first principles
There are more millionaires in the world than there are whole units of Zcash. 60 million millionaires and only 21 million ZEC. Think about it.

NEW: @Zcash rally to ~$890 has widened its mining revenue lead over #Bitcoin and #AI: • Z15 Pro: $727/MWh • #HPC estimate: $222/MWh • S23 Pro: $162/MWh • S21 Pro: $102/MWh That puts zcash:native at 3.3× HPC and 4.5× the newest #BTC miner.

$ZECBTC continues to put in work that suggests this cycle could indeed be different for $ZEC
In the dying breaths of this cycle it doesn't so much matter what $ZEC goes to in $USD terms from here; enough good work has already been done there. It does matter, however, at the next bottom where $ZECBTC & $ZECUSD consolidates. Over the last couple months, the work it's done in $ZECBTC terms is most notable to me. Put another way, this late cycle price action from $ZEC is not all that unique in $USD terms, but it is unique in $BTC terms. At the same time, you have to always respect that, for now, $BTC sets the entire mood of the cryptoasset market on a medium-to-long term time frame. You can escape $BTC's mood-setting for a time, but likely not for long. Before new-age trolls claim something about me and $ZEC that's untrue, I've been watching, learning & supporting this one since launch in 2016, you can check the X receipts.
