"People claim that users don't ultimately care about privacy. That may be true when it comes to some of the more incidental data about their lives. But I don't believe it is true when it comes to finance." on why crypto needs privacy to become mainstream: "In order for...

"Crypto will never really become mainstream if it doesn't have privacy." on the feature everyone overlooked: "It's inconceivable that you would have businesses running onchain and potentially paying their employees if every single transaction's decipherable and visible to the general public." "Most projects have not emphasized it. It's been an afterthought for the most part." Ollie Forsyth

Rick Scott: "Democrats must not have families, or they don't care about their families. I care about my family and your family. I want people to be safe. So they don't care that two-thirds of the people who are looking at, uh, cyber to make sure where terror cells are, they don't care that two-thirds of them aren't working."

Reporter: Is it the WH’s position that furloughed workers should be paid their back pay? Trump: It depends on who we’re talking about. We're going to take care of our people. There are some people that really don't deserve to be taken care of, and we'll take care of them in a different way

This couple is having a wedding that will reflect who they are. They openly don’t seem to care if anyone will actually go or not. I think weddings are a celebration for everyone to join in for a special day. But I also think that offending guests before they even go might be a decision that will turn in a decision full of regret. So here’s my take on this. The way I see it is that they are going to be disappointed. I know others might argue and say that it’s selfish for the guests to not go because of the conditions set forth by the bride and groom, however it goes both ways. If they know guests won’t like the conditions of the wedding, then maybe they should compromise a little. I think they should give people options. I feel that this is going to show the bride and groom who is actually their real friends and who aren’t in their eyes. They won’t care if the guests don’t like the wedding rules, they are going to expect them to go because they think that their attendance shows that they care and that they are local.

ELON: EVERYONE ON EARTH WILL WANT THEIR OWN ROBOT “My prediction is the robots will actually make so many robots and AI that they will actually saturate all human needs, meaning you won't be able to even think of something to ask the robot for at a certain point. There'll be more robots than people. I think everyone on Earth is going to have one and going to want one, because who wouldn't want a robot to, assuming it's very safe, watch over your kids, take care of your pet. If you have elderly parents, it's very difficult to take care of them. It's expensive, and there just aren't enough young people to take care of the old people. If you had a robot that could take care of and protect an elderly parent, I think that would be great. That would be an amazing thing to have. And I think we will have those things.” Source: Elon Musk Interview at WEF, January 2026

AOC: I don't care if someone likes me or not. That will never change the fact that I'm going to fight for them to have health care. I want MAGA to have health care. I want MAGA to be paid a living wage. But he doesn't want people based on their political affiliation to benefit. And that is the difference between an authoritarian and a leader of a democracy.

Democrat politicians are the biggest scoundrels on earth. They don't care about Epstein. They don't care about the kids. They don't care about the crimes. If they did, they would have said something when Biden was in power for 4 years. They only said anything in 2019 to POLITICIZE Epstein in the wake of the Acosta scandal. And they are only saying anything now to POLITICIZE Epstein thinking it will hurt Trump. They don't care. And like true demons among humans, they only pretend to care to weaponize it for their own perceived political profit.

.Ana Kasparian says that the Iron Dome hasn’t been as effective as people think. She goes on to say that “they’ve got those underground bunkers. So when it comes to the Iron Dome, what is it really about? Is it about protecting real estate in Israel? Because I’m not interested in protecting anything in Israel that doesn’t have to do with civilian lives. And when it comes to civilian lives, I would argue that the government of Israel should be more concerned with them. But they’re not. They would rather have the United States fund defensive capabilities for Israel. And those days, I promise you, will be coming to an end because the American people are fed up with it.”

Q: "Is it the White House's position that furloughed workers should be paid for their back-pay?" President Trump: "I would say it depends on who we're talking about. I can tell you this, the Democrats have put a lot of people in great risk and jeopardy, but it really depends on who you're talking about, but for the most part we're going to take care of our people. There are some people that really don't deserve to be taken care of and we'll take care of them in a different way."

This needs to become a nationwide movement “Conservative activist, Scott Presler has a really good idea on how to pressure Republicans in Congress to actually do their jobs and work for the people who elected them Now, he understands that all they care about is money and power, and without money they can't gain power. So he's asking us to not give a single nickel to any Republican campaign. And when they start seeing the money drying up, because the American people are tired of them saying they're gonna do this and they're not doing it, they're gonna change their tune. 'cause they don't wanna let go of their power. They don't care when we complain on social media, they don't care about polls. They don't care when we make phone calls and write letters. They again, care only about money and power, not another nickel. Let the money dry up and let's see if they start listening, then let 'em starve” “Let 'em starve”

Roy Cooper: We built a coalition in North Carolina that allowed us to expand medicaid and help rural counties. Washington Republicans are going to strip it away. And we talk about lowering the cost of everyday working families who are holding their breath and waiting for that next car repair bill, worry about how they're going to pay for child care. They need health insurance. Every American needs health insurance here. We gave it to more of them. They're going to take it away again. We're going to make sure that the people of North Carolina know about this. And when I get to Washington, I'm going to do something about it. So many people in Washington just want to be something. I want to do something. And I believe that rural Americans are going to let their members of congress and their senators have it once they find out that they're about to lose life saving health insurance, we need to get that message out

"If we do our job right, nobody cares about privacy anymore. It won't be a topic, not because we gave up, but because it'll just be by design in every blockchain transaction" Rand, founder of Zama, on why the goal is to make privacy something you never think about "Privacy has become one of the hot topics again. In the earlier crypto days it was probably one of the main topics, then we went through all these crazy bubbles and people seem to have forgotten about it, I guess because they were making so much money at the time. But it seems we've come home" "I've been in crypto since 2013, this is my fourth or fifth cycle. What changed, and this was our bet at Zama, is that we saw institutions, banks, people wanting to use blockchain for finance, and privacy was a missing element. People are excited about privacy today not because of the original cypherpunk ideals we had initially, but because finance requires it, and because people are excited about trillions moving onchain" "It's like your browser. There's this small lock when you connect to a website, the connection is encrypted, and you don't think about it. We have to do the same for blockchain transactions, it'll just be there by design"

I invest in a lot of entrepreneurs that I don't like but I respect. I respect them and the only thing I care about is executional skills. The ability to say, "All right this is what I'm going to achieve this month" and then execute on it. When they hit their bumps which they all do, because whatever their plan was is not going to work, they have the ability to pivot. That what I look for.
