Everyone’s talking about Zcash this week. I think the real story is people waking up to financial privacy. Not as a trade. As a need. So let’s talk about it all week. First question: when did you last think about who can see your payment history?

"A $200 dinner, payable only in ZEC, with the word “cypherpunk” on the invitation and Washington at the table. Nobody hid the agenda." New piece on what the word is being asked to mean now: medium.com/pivx/cypherp... #cryptocurrency #cryptography #PIVX

"Conflict was guaranteed the moment more than a handful of real humans showed up and started caring about the outcome. The actual question is whether it knows how to fight well. Most don’t. That’s not a PIVX problem. That’s a humans problem wearing PIVX merch." medium.com/pivx/what-a-...

A decade in crypto without changing your founding thesis and cypherpunk values is unheard of. PIVX forked from Dash in 2016 to improve privacy + pure PoS harder. And a decade later, same thesis, same chain, and -unlike DASH and Zcash- still what the Cypherpunks had in mind from the beginning.

Bitcoin maxis love to say Proof-of-Stake "isn't real crypto." Funny, since the actual cypherpunks wanted tools anyone could run, not an energy arms race that favors whoever has the cheapest electricity. PIVX has always been built for efficiency: you could stake on your household laptop since 2016.

Forced anonymity isn't freedom, it's just a different kind of control. PIVX's SHIELD lets YOU decide, transaction by transaction, what stays private. Radical idea: privacy should be a choice, not a mandate from your blockchain.

Unpopular opinion: most "privacy coins" aren't cypherpunk projects anymore. They dropped their pants to VC-backed companies wearing a cypherpunk aesthetic. PIVX has no ICO, no VC round, no foundation CEO. Just a DAO. That's the real cypherpunk ethos, alive. Since 2016. Change my mind.

🚨🇪🇺 The #ChatControl trilogue starts on Tuesday & the EU Council is trying to pressure Parliament into giving up its opposition. We must stop them once again! 💪🏼 Because no matter the framing, the truth remains the same: There's no backdoor for the good guys only! ➡️ fightchatcontrol.eu

"PIVX occupies a genuinely unique position in the privacy coin space. No other project combines zero-knowledge proof privacy with proof-of-stake yield in a way that keeps the staked balance hidden." pegasusswap.com/blog/pivx-re... #crypto #Bitcoin #privacy

I had a chat with LUMO AI yesterday, about the degrading dedication to the cypherpunk values, that once led to the creation of Bitcoin and later Zcash. Today, the crypto space has mostly been captured ny venture capitalists and greed. But one coin still sticks to those values: PIVX 💜

They all knew ahead of time who he is...

😡🚨 In July, the European Parliament approved Chat Control 1.0 👉 NOW, On September 29, the negotiations for CHAT CONTROL 2.0 RETURN. Unfortunately, this is a much bigger threat for everybody's #privacy. At Tuta we will continue to SAY NO to Chat Control and fight for our right to privacy ✊❤️

There should not be any doubt who Trump works for. Spoiler alert: it's not the American people.

Zcash users aren't happy campers right now. #crypto

New article about our #privacy "PITT is the financial version of the same idea, except there’s no camera on a pole for anyone to see, no obvious physical object to point at, and no way to know it happened to you unless a defense attorney gets lucky in discovery." medium.com/pivx/your-ba...

"I have nothing to hide." False. You have medical history You have financial behavior You have location patterns You have political views You have relationship data Privacy was never about hiding crimes. It was always about owning your life.

Zcash is a corporate VC trap and PIVX is the cypherpunk PoS alternative.

Yuuuuup…

"Wherever it becomes technically cheap to monitor some part of ordinary life, something eventually gets built to monitor it, under whatever justification happens to be available that year, and once it’s built, it tends to keep running long after anyone stops asking why." medium.com/pivx/your-ba...

Google's #Gemini AI invasion continues → It wants your biometric data, your selfie, and even your voice. 😡 Now it's adding conversational AI features to Gmail, Docs and Keep. There has never been a better time to #DeGoogle and take back your privacy. ➡️ tuta.com/blog/degoogl...

PIVX is a really interesting play. Risky, but -let's be honest- with a much better upside chance than downside risk. Maybe for those who want to take some of your profits from Zcash and invest into the same technology, but without the venture capitalists. Not financial advice. Screenshot from X.

Privacy isn't dead. PIVX isn't dead, either 💜 Far from it.

Feeling like you missed ZEC at $1k? You didn't miss PIVX. Same zk-SNARK shielded tech, still trading at a fraction of the price, still micro-cap. The "missed the bus" feeling usually means you're looking at the wrong bus stop. medium.com/pivx/the-cyp...

Everyone's queuing to jump into Zcash at these crazy prices. Meanwhile PIVX, fully functional community driven DAO without VC connection but, ongoing development, friendly community sits there at dirt cheap prices.

"A publicly traded company, answerable to shareholders and the SEC, has taken the name of a 1990s cryptographic freedom movement and put it on a stock ticker. Not as commentary. As a business strategy." medium.com/pivx/the-cyp... #Zcash #ZEC #cypherpunk #privacy

Have you tried mask.id yet?

The cypherpunks wanted money with no masters: no trusted third parties, no capture, no gatekeepers. Bitcoin got institutionalized. Zcash has a corporate board. Monero's chained to PoW's energy politics. Who's actually still building what the manifesto asked for? PIVX is.

🪪 The recent idscan.net (&more?) breach exposed over 153M Driver's Licenses + 10m IDs + 579k Medical Cards mostly from the #US & #Canada. Age verification aka ID verification proponents should really think about how unsafe data is once it's collected en masse. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Part 1/2 ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #Privacy #News

PIVX stayed close to the values it started with. Zcash fell for capital, just like Bitcoin. If you only read one thing about privacy coins this year, make it this comparison: medium.com/pivx/the-cyp...

There's a third option nobody talks about: PIVX. Active since 2016, zk-SNARK shielded transactions, Proof-of-Stake, not mining pools. Masternode-governed, not boardroom-governed. Fees burned, not extracted. Micro-cap, unmarketed, and maybe the closest thing left to the original cypherpunk ethos.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the seventh richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

If you have a Gmail account, you need to read this. Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how. Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places:

New article live: "The gap between PIVX’s quality and PIVX’s price is not evidence that the market hasn’t finished evaluating the project. It’s evidence that the market’s amplification channels are not built to evaluate projects like this one at all." medium.com/pivx/freedom... #privacy #Bitcoin
