Have you heard about the Magic Money Computers? Yeah... #ElonMusk, who still sometimes say worthwhile things although no one listens, dropped that the US government has numerous "magic money computers," which are very similar to #Zcash. They can print as much money as they want without any corresponding debit coming off a balance sheet. They just print it and send it off, and no one ever even knows about it. In that sense, the US dollar and the banking system are very similar to Zcash.

Ansem: Zcash is Swiss banking in your pocket “Instead of having to look at different bank accounts and different places to store your wealth, Zcash allows you to have access to that at any point in time and take it with you anywhere” “If you have a billion dollars in Bitcoin and send somebody $100, anybody you sent that to now knows you have a billion dollars in Bitcoin” “If you have a billion dollars in Zcash and send somebody $100, they don’t know how much you have in your actual address” “That’s the core reason I think Zcash differentiates from Bitcoin” “In my opinion, Zcash is the second best store of value behind Bitcoin. Right now it trades at around a $7B market cap, so I think it has a lot of room to do well and a lot of room to grow” “In 2016, Bitcoin was around $200 and now it trades at $80,000. In 2016, Zcash was around the same price it is right now…”

Kayla McBride on the StudBudz impact “When I first came into the league people weren’t even out or anything like that yet… it wasn’t something you just talked about outwardly and now you see couples and everybody being their own selves, that’s just kind of where the world is now and it’s a beautiful thing. That’s how it always should have been. But them being able to do it on this level and the ability to allow others to do it, young, old, you see all different walks of life… I think that’s the most beautiful part about it, it’s in the human level”

"In 'Zodiac' (2007), I wanted the audience to feel like they went through the ringer with these guys,(...) in retrospect you look at it & say maybe audiences who are looking for entertainment on a Friday night don’t want that toll taken on them." --- David Fincher Full Excerpt: "Interviewer: It’s so rare to walk out of a movie and to feel like I know more about a subject than I did walking into it. Watching Zodiac is like the experience of reading a really absorbing non-fiction book, and I know that part of it for you was about honoring the people who were the victims of the Zodiac, but you also have so many details, so many facts, you take it to such a level where there’s so much information… why was that important to you? Fincher: I don’t respect movies that treat me like I don’t have the attention span or mental faculty to follow… it’s one thing to talk about Dave Toschi’s fall from grace in an oblique and generic way. I can answer that question in a couple of different ways. I wanted the movie to take its toll on the audience, I wanted the audience to feel like they went through it, like they went through the ringer with these guys, and I didn’t know how to do that because these guys didn’t run across rooftops and fall off fire escapes. In their quest to bring the Zodiac to justice they followed the trail of breadcrumbs as far as it would take them, and they kept pushing and kept pushing when there were crackpots coming out of the woodwork. I felt like I didn’t want to make one of those movies where you do montage/montage/montage and you get the idea that they went to the mat with this, that it took its toll – I wanted the audience to feel that. You know, in retrospect you look at it and say maybe audiences who are looking for entertainment on a Friday night don’t want that toll taken on them. I felt like anything less than that would be doing the story and people involved a disservice. You could do it as something compressed, where you get the gist of it, and we would have shots of Jake [Gyllenhaal] half asleep and you would have those obligatory shots where the boss says, ‘You look like sh!t.’ And in the end I still don’t feel like you get enough of what happens with his family, we don’t get enough with his wife and kids, but it was all we could do to get it in at under two hours and forty minutes. I feel like we took about as much time as you can really expect an audience to sit still for and we tried to make them feel what it was like to be invested in this circuitous run down the rabbit hole." (David Fincher's interview with Devin Farachi, 2008)

RFK Jr: “If we were gonna go to war, say WW2 … they had to go to the public and say we’re gonna raise taxes to pay for this war” “They wouldn’t have supported it for Vietnam. They wouldn’t have supported it for Iraq. They wouldn’t have supported it for Ukraine. Or, they had to … sell war bonds, which was another way of getting the public to pay the cost of war. But they had to be straight about it. Everybody had skin in the game. Now, they don’t have to do that at all. They don’t even declare war. They just say we’re gonna spend $200 billion on a war with Russia, but we’re gonna get Ukraine to bring the war, we’re gonna kill 600,000 of their kids in a war we can’t win. We’re gonna be able to sell all our weapons to Ukraine. So, BlackRock owns Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics, Boeing, Lockheed, all of the military contractors, they’re making the money on the war. They have the contract for rebuilding Ukraine, they’re gonna make another half trillion on that. And they’re the big donor to the Democrat and Republican Party. This whole thing is fixed and it’s rigged, and they don’t even have to come to us and say we’re gonna have another one of these wars. They just print the money. It’s all a very incestuous and corrupt problem. Bitcoin is not only an off-ramp to this inflationary highway, which is the highway to hell, but it’s also a way of restoring integrity to our government. It’s a way of restoring personal freedoms. The middle class can insulate itself from inflation, which is just a form of government theft. I’m gonna do a basket of hard currencies, platinum and gold and other hard currencies, and begin issuing at least a class of Treasury bills that are anchored to hard currency, let’s say the first year 1%, and then maybe the next year 2% and watch how that goes. I would like to have the federal government begin to buy Bitcoin and over my term in office, ultimately have an equivalent amount of Bitcoin that we have gold. If we want to save our democracy, we need to decentralize it.”

Bill Maher: “At the Emmys, would it have kiIIed someone to get up there — since they all want to talk about their politics… to get up there — not to give a speech about how much they like Charlie Kirk just to say we had a political ass*ssination this week and that’s wrong… They would have been booed off the stage because he’s on the wrong team.” “You’re not even allowed to say that. Can you imagine if a left-wing person was assassinated that week? The whole show would have been about that.” “Is that not true? Can’t you admit that?”

This is one of my favorite movie endings... It has a powerful lesson: "At some point, everything is going to go south on you...and you're gonna say 'this is it, this is how I end.' Now you can either accept that, or you can get to work. That's all it is, you just begin. You do the math. You solve one problem. Then you solve the next one. And the next. And if you solve enough problems, you get to come home." This is the beautiful thing about life: No matter where you are today—no matter how deep in the darkness—you are always just one good decision away from being in a better place tomorrow. You can always focus on that one decision—that one problem—in front of you. Don't worry about the hundreds or thousands of decisions that you still have to make to get to where you want to be—just focus on the next decision. Just begin. Solve one problem. Then solve the next one. And the next. "Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated." - Confucius

DOOCY TIME: “So, since Liberation Day, there’s about $175 billion in tariff revenue that is now in limbo. Do you have to refund $175 billion of it?” President Trump: “Well, think of, it — think of it, Peter. Very fair question. They take months and months to write an opinion and they don’t even discuss that point. We’ve taken in hundreds of billions of dollars, not millions, hundreds of billions of dollars. And so, I said, well, what happens to all the money that we took in? It wasn’t discussed. Wouldn’t you think they would have put one sentence in there saying that, keep the money or don’t keep the money, right? I guess it has to get litigated for the next two years. So, they write this terrible, defective decision, totally defective. It’s almost like not written by smart people. And what they do, they don’t even talk about it. Your question is very basic. That was the first question I asked also to make you feel good. I said, what about all the money that we’ve taken in? Sir, they don’t discuss that. How crazy is that?”

Jeffries: We’re going to win back control of the House of Representatives. I have no doubt about it. In fact, they have accelerated the pace of our capacity to do it because they have been so extreme in how they’ve conducted themselves in unleashing chaos on the American people. America is becoming more expensive, in part driven by this erratic Trump tariff set of policies, while at the same time, every single thing that’s being done—including this partisan spending bill that’s on the floor—is being done in service of Project 2025. I thought you all told me it didn’t exist or you didn’t know about it. But now you are all in on it. These are broken promises to the American people, and it will have political consequences for them, just like they underperformed even with Trump at the top of the ticket. And they wouldn’t even be in the majority had they not taken three seats in mid-decade partisan gerrymandering from North Carolina, which they won’t have available to them this time around.

Reporter: In your letter to Congress, you said that hostilities with Iran have been terminated. How can you say that with the naval blockade still in place? U.S. President Donald Trump: "Well, it’s a very friendly blockade. Nobody’s even challenging it. Nobody at all is challenging. Just so you understand, many presidents have been involved in things that are very big. They never had to go through anything with respect to Congress. They considered it to be totally unconstitutional. And the Democrats in Congress that pushed this, and probably a couple of Republicans, they’re hurting our negotiating ability, which is infinite right now. And they shouldn’t be doing it. It’s never happened before. No other president’s done it. And I’m not going to be the first."

The scary part is that Stephen A Smith strong suit is supposed to be basketball. It’s just embarrassing. This is the guy you give all this money to and he doesn’t even know the basic facts about a team. ESPN can sit here all day and tell me his ratings. People are “hate watching”. Or even worse, they are watching to mock how bad it is. It’s akin to the later years of Mike Francesa at WFAN. Where people watched to hear the crank calls or to watch him falling asleep at the mic. It’s getting to that level of bad for ESPN when it comes to SAS. I don’t know anybody that watches him because they think they are getting anything substantive out of him. And that isn’t sustainable. I say it all the time. People don’t know what they like, they like what they know. Not. One. Person.

Reece Martin (Reece Martin) on how transit shapes what you think your life can even be. Growing up in Langley, BC, a 20 minute walk to the corner store or an hour-long bike ride to Starbucks was just normal. He figured that was how life worked. Then he visited Manhattan, riding the subway anywhere he wanted, and realized none of that was a given. The way a place is built decides how much of life is actually within reach, but most people never stop to ask how the systems around them work, or how much they shape their lives. “I grew up in a place where all my neighbors had horses. No sidewalks, no buses. I watched the town I grew up in go from forests and farmland to condos in the span of one lifetime. You could bike an hour to a Starbucks, but that was about it. I’d come home, and I’d be stuck at home.” “My uncle lived in Manhattan. I’d go there and just ride the subway all day, to different places. I wanted to go to Fifth Avenue, plugged it into Google Maps, and it’s 20 minutes on the subway. You can go anywhere. Instantly.” “Transit is the foundation layer that enables all of this. It wasn’t about the transit. It wasn’t about the car. It was about you. You can go anywhere and do anything you want at any time. It’s access. You don’t have to wait. If you want something, you can get it now.”

NBC’s Gabe Gutierrez: “But then regarding Cuba, there was an aircraft carrier that just arrived there. Just this week, the Nimitz aircraft carrier. Are you sending that there to intimidate the Cuban government?” President Trump: “No, not at all. The Cubans look, it’s a failed country. Everybody knows it. They don’t have electricity. They don’t have money. They don’t have really anything. They don’t have food. And we’re going to help them along. And we’re going to help them because the people — because, number one, I want to help them. I don’t want to on a humanitarian basis. But we have the Cuban American population, much of it living in Miami, in Florida. That’s a great group of people, amazing group of people, industrious, just they’re great Americans. They’ve wanted this to happen. They want to go back to their country. They want to help their country. I hope they’re going to stay here, but they want to go back. They want to invest in their country and, you know, see if they can bring it back. Other presidents have looked at this for 50, 60 years doing something, and it looks like I’ll be the one that does it. So it would be happy to do it. We want to open it up to Cuban Americans where they can go back and help.”

Q: Congresswoman, how are you feeling? Are you afraid? Rep. LaMonica McIver: Well, of course I am. I mean, I have the President of the United States and the Department of Justice trying to send me to jail for 17 years. That’s very frightening. I think that even the Department of Justice knows that this case is extremely bogus and that it makes no sense. But once again, the point of it all is cruelty. The process is the pain for them, and they enjoy that, and they’re watching me, go through that, you know, having to raise money for this case, that I’m not getting free dollars, you know, while they get to use your tax dollars to charge me. My family is stressed out about it. Obviously, I have a big belly bump in front of me, as you all can see. We should not be spending taxpayer dollars to prosecute members of Congress for them showing up to do their job.

Q: Congresswoman, how are you feeling? Are you afraid? Rep. LaMonica McIver: Well, of course I am. I mean, I have the President of the United States and the Department of Justice trying to send me to jail for 17 years. That’s very frightening. I think that even the Department of Justice knows that this case is extremely bogus and that it makes no sense. But once again, the point of it all is cruelty. The process is the pain for them, and they enjoy that, and they’re watching me, go through that, you know, having to raise money for this case, that I’m not getting free dollars, you know, while they get to use your tax dollars to charge me.

.Erik Voorhees: It’s actually good, from the Trojan horse perspective, that Bitcoin was traceable enough for traditional institutions to tolerate it. “When Bitcoin came out, everyone called it private, thought of it as private. It was referred to as anonymous in every news story. And in some ways, it is very private and very anonymous. But the truth is that it’s also extremely trackable and traceable. It is not private in reality. And the question is, should it have been from the start? And at first I thought, yes, it should have been more private. And that was a mistake in its design. However, I think if Bitcoin had been anonymous truly from the start, like a Zcash or a Monero, it would have had such antagonism from the state. I don’t know that the state could have snuffed it out, but they would have tried much harder. And I think it’s actually good, from the Trojan horse metaphor perspective, that it was traceable enough that the traditional institutions could tolerate it. They’ve never liked it, but they could at least tolerate it because there is some traceability. And that has allowed Bitcoin to grow. And I think in its shadow, that other crypto assets are actually anonymous is very healthy. The strength of cryptocurrency as a concept in society, I think, is served best when Bitcoin itself is not perfectly private, but other assets are. That is a very difficult thing, I think, for the state to combat. And that decentralization of attributes is really, really crucial. So, yeah, I’m very glad that there are other coins that are private. I want there to be more of them, and I want them to be more popular. And I think it’s okay that Bitcoin itself is not.”

WATCH: Very newsy exchange at the White House Tuesday afternoon between President Trump and CBS’s Ed O'Keefe about Iran, revealing the U.S. was gifted “a present” from whatever remains of the new/old Iranian regime that is “oil and gas related”.... President Trump: “Do you have another question? You haven’t been here in a while.” O’Keefe: “Well, on Iran, can you give us any more sense of who exactly in Iran it is, either Witkoff or Kushner you’re speaking with?” Trump: “Yeah. We had — I hate to say this in front of these young people — they’re not children. I spoke to most of them. They sound like adults to me. Even though they are sort of children, right? They’ll always be your children. But I hate to say it, but we killed all their leadership. And then they met to choose new leaders, and we killed all of them. And now, we have a new group and we can easily do that. But let’s see how they turn out. It’s — we have, really, regime change. You know, this is a change in the regime because the leaders are all very different than the ones that we started off with that created all those problems. So this was — I think we can say, Jason, this is regime change, right?” O’Keefe: “What makes you trust them?” Trump: “I don’t trust anybody. I don’t trust you. I mean, that’s only because I know you, but if I didn’t know you, I’d probably have more trust. But I don’t trust anyone.” O’Keefe: “Why bother talking to them?” Trump: “Why do you — why do you say that? Why do you say what makes you — do you think I trust them? I don’t trust them.” O’Keefe: “Then why bother talking to them?” Trump: “Because they’re going to make a deal. They’re going to make a deal. They did something yesterday that was amazing. Actually. They gave us a present. And the president arrived today and it was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money. And I’m not going to tell you what that present is, but it was a very significant prize. And they gave it to us, and they said they were going to give it, so that meant one thing to me. We’re dealing with the right people —” O’Keefe: “Was it nuclear related.” Trump: “No, it wasn’t nuclear related. It was oil and gas related. And it was a very nice thing they did. But what it showed me is that we’re dealing with the right people because, you know, you don’t know because the leadership was killed, all gone. Khamenei, all gone. As the expression goes, the past Supreme Leader and then the new Supreme Leader was racked up at a minimum, racked up pretty good, and everyone else was gone. And then many of the people in the third tier are gone. But we’re dealing with a group of people that I think turn out and the — the present, the gift they made to us was very significant. And they said they were going to do it and it happened. And they’re the only ones that could have done it.”

this interview made me realize something memeland is probably one of the best-positioned teams in crypto the more you look at it, the more obvious it gets: > they have the distribution (9gag) > they get web3 (been here since 2021) > and they’ve got the capital to pull it all together it’s rare to find a project that hits all 3 def worth a watch if you’re even remotely curious about where this space is heading
