Awesome chat with Reuben Yap of Firo comparing crypto privacy, as well as how much data each approach takes, and how it affects transaction speed. Also great breakdown of the Qubic mining attack on Monero.

Price chart means enough people speculated (gambled?) on an asset during a specific time frame to get it to that number. That's it. It doesn't say anything about quality of tech, utility, adoption, number

Crazy how, even after the sanctions against Tornado Cash have been lifted, even after the Clarity Act passed the House which would specifically decriminalize much crypto activity, prosecutors are still

Today, Roman Storm was convicted of unlawful money transmission, but wasn't on money laundering and sanctions evasion. Happy it wasn't worse because of the awful precedent it would set, but this is still

Yep! Sad.

I also hope it's sequestered enough so that problems don't cause collateral damage.

Yeah, as someone who was living unbanked on Bitcoin around then, I can resonate with the betrayal.

Well, their competitors have come out of the woodwork since then. We'll happily give them business.

The absolute state of Bitcoin right now: CEO/cult leader posts egotistical AI slop with "Don't sell your Bitcoin," and the largest dedicated media outlet with almost 4 million followers prints

I've said it for a while: MVP (minimum viable privacy) will be a must-have for all of crypto by next cycle. Everyone take heed, you have around four years to build it out. #crypto #privacy by @thedessertlinux

In both cases it's a scam: they either scam maxis out of their actual Bitcoin, or scam boomers into thinking they're buying a Bitcoin stock, not a highly leveraged risky gambling asset.

Cheers. Yeah, I can't comment on their actual product, but the way they do business is kind of crappy.

Maybe? I just haven't looked too far into it. But IMHO the growth potential in Leo is much higher, as it runs an actual business and can grow as the business grows.

Yes, and a risky way. If people want that risk, they can, but it's still degen stuff.

I actually don't think so. From what I hear the CEO is a Bitcoin maxi, so it was probably purely ideological.

Agreed. I haven't heard complaints about their products, but their way of doing business probably has to change.

Crazy, isn't it.

Yes, very unfortunate. I won't recommend any company do business with Proton because of this.

Give it a read and tell me what you think
