    Privacy is the precondition for many of our freedoms. It’s the point at which government and corporate reach end and our individual freedoms and self-sovereignty begin. As our lives have moved online, privacy’s become a rare, vanishing commodity. That’s why we founded Cypherpunk (@cypherpunktech) — a company dedicated to privacy and self-sovereignty. We will execute on our mission by accumulating, building, and supporting privacy-protecting assets and technologies at a time when the world needs them more than ever. To that end, Cypherpunk — Ticker: $LPTX (today), $CYPH (tomorrow) — was launched with a $50 million+ investment from @winklevosscap to begin accumulating Zcash ($ZEC) at what we believe to be a significant discount to Zcash’s true long-term value. Cypherpunk currently holds 203,775 ZEC purchased at an average price of ~$245 per coin, representing ~1.25% of the current ZEC supply. We plan to continue accumulating ZEC rapidly so that Cypherpunk owns at least 5% of the total ZEC supply. Since Zcash’s launch 9 years ago, we’ve observed its highly symbiotic relationship with bitcoin. Zcash is a fork of Bitcoin and shares identical tokenomics — both have a fixed total supply of 21 million coins. If bitcoin is digital gold, Zcash is encrypted bitcoin, or digital cash. One is your store of value, the other is how you privately move your value. We’ve been tracking this symbiosis for years and believe that now — as we enter the age of AI — is the right time to begin accumulating ZEC. We feel strongly that Zcash could become a meaningful percentage of Bitcoin’s market capitalization — just on the merits of it being a privacy hedge or insurance policy to Bitcoin’s transparency alone. We believe bitcoin will continue to ascend to $1,000,000 per coin over the next 5-10 years. We also believe Zcash will appreciate significantly from here as well. These coins go hand in hand. Over the next few weeks, we’ll continue to lay out our thesis. In the meantime, we’re excited to have you join us as we stack zats and invest in other technologies that promote privacy and self-sovereignty. Let us proceed together apace. Onward.

    Crazy how Zcash launched ten years ago, long before anyone worried about AI or quantum. Now it's one of the most important assets in the world.

    It's time to turn off the ZCG funding stream. ZCG has over $125M in funding, and will receive millions more before the spigot is turned off. The program was never designed to handle this amount of funding. Draft ZIP:

    The communists want to destroy election integrity by legalizing voter fraud. Vote ‘Yes’ on Prop 39 on November 3rd in order to require voters in California to present photo ID to vote. This is common sense and any other position is indefensible.
    Californians for Voter ID, Yes on 39 @ca4voterid
    Prop 39 released a new ad today highlighting what politicians don’t want you to know: California is one of a handful of states that don’t require a photo ID to vote. Prop 39 is a battle of politicians versus people. Politicians want you to vote no. The People are voting yes. This ad is a parody, but the problem is not. The politicians want to protect their power and money. We want to give it back to you. Vote Yes on Prop 39. Donate:
