"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. Not banker-friendly digital collectibles"

"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"
