Replying to @TheMoonCarl
You all should show some respect, actually. And do your homework. Daira-Emma is widely respect and highly regarded by mathematicians, cryprtographers, engineers, and anybody with a half brain and she has contributed more to this industry than everybody in the comments combined.

You all WISH Zcash was a coordinated pump. That means you won't have to question your assumptions, perspective, and ultimately your whole world view. But that's not what's happening. Something much, much bigger is under way and it's not about any one blockchain or ticker.

Yesterday was pretty annoying but the upshot is: Having Daira-Emma Hopwood involved in the project is more OP than you can even imagine and is a strength of Zcash's, not a weakness.

As a core Zcash dev I don't follow and cheer the price because I have a bag, I follow and cheer the price because I'm heavily invested in the machinery of freedom.

I sent some $ZEC to normie friends at pub trivia last night. It was each of their first interactions with crypto, ever. Right away one of them asked "how do I get this in @Venmo?" @VenmoSupport lets make this happen. Shielded Labs can help.

Calling $ZEC's normal, healthy 20% pullback "over" after it survived and thrived through the greatest liquidation event in history is NOT rational thinking.

If you haven't figured it out yet: this is a fight to the death between Bitcoin and Zcash. Once you realize this, it explains everything.

This is huge. While not a guarantee for inclusion in NU7, this code merge takes us one step closer to securing the future integrity of the $ZEC asset. The NSM allows the network to continue miners after the 21 millionth coin is mined WITHOUT increasing the 21m supply cap.

The Zcash mempool over the last seven days. This is where your transactions live after they leave your wallet and before they are included in blocks. The network is happily humming along, uncongested even under the new volume that we're seeing. 🥰 Keeping an eye on it!
