"Arbitrary data (aka spam) is the red herring The goal of Knots is to create a precedent for transaction censorship & UTXO confiscation Why Because institutional investors some of which back Ocean pool consider Satoshis coins an existential risk and want to freeze his BTC to effectively prevent him from ever selling. Some of the quantum resistance debates aim for the same goal. But they have lesser credibility due to the unconvincing evidence that quantum computers will be able to crack elliptic curve digital signatures anytime soon. Follow the money"

"Just paid for X years of @ProtonMail Unlimited using shielded Zcash Wait but arent the Proton guys a bunch of toxic bitcoin maximalists How is this even possible Well Im glad you asked: @zashi_app has a pay feature that effectively swaps your shielded ZEC for BTC ETH stablecoins and lots of other crypto assets. So basically you pay with your shielded ZEC and Proton Mail receives BTC from a wallet that isnt even yours. This is what real DeFi looks like"

"Bitcoin is such a shitshow these days If the market (miners L2s investors) switched to Bitcoin Cash I wouldnt feel angry or sad at all. We sort of deserve it for building a culture pf complacency is stagnation where the only improvements are hacky workarounds. But the world needs usable internet money.

"No man its open source software trying something that Bitcoin cannot do. Your chartism is peak illiteracy and cope. You cannot truly test something if you detach it from users and markets. And if it underperforms in terms of price maybe it needs more work. But price is the byproduct of the software not the main focus"

"Most lottery winners end up worse off after a few years. Mostly because they enjoy a lifestyle they cannot sustain or they have bad friends/family members who pressure them into buying stuff or investing in bad businesses (the cousins rap album project the aunts lifelong dream to run a flower store). This lady chose not to ruin her life in any way. Maybe shes not financially responsible and she knows what she would do if she had a lot of cash at her disposal. Shes clearly not the investing type either"

"Im starting to think that Zcash right now is nothing like Bitcoin in 2013 Its more like Ethereum in 2017: - civil war in Bitcoin that divides the community - another project that does what Bitcoin cannot rises to the occasion - bitcoiners whine about Zcashs unfair dev fund & governance - all the hatred boosts the projects visibility and brings more normie users who couldnt care less about purity standards - price goes up the project permanently earns respect and legitimacy - when Zcash becomes a top XX coin the entire industry acknowledges the merits and overlooks the early criticism - haters"

"If Zcash succeeds its much more likely that Bitcoin soft forks Zerocash to get base layer privacy But a technical victory which proves that ZK SNARKs are scalable private & inflation proof is not enough. A regulatory victory is also necessary to normalize privacy + avoid market disruptions. A market victory is part of the equation too. Because the tech shouldnt just be great and politically acceptable. It must also have a good record for market demand. So far Zcash is doing a pretty good job in spite of all the haters who dont realize theyre rooting for the failure of the most powerful"

"Satoshi Nakamoto gave everyone the blueprint to create unstoppable money. Some say that he created the last form of money well ever need but he also supported the creation of BitNames (later Namecoin). The only kind of maximalist Satoshi proved himself to be is Proof of Work and merged mining maxi. He didnt care that much about Austrian economics and the everything divided by XX million coins meme. Satoshi was a cypherpunk who gladly supported different use cases for his tech but wanted a whole galaxy of coins to get secures by the same miners"
