The idea of DOJ prosecuting investors for funding and supporting software developers is morally reprehensible, politically disastrous, and comically devoid of legal rationale. There is no excuse for DOJ making a threat like this in open court. I hope the White House is watching.
Dragonfly invested into PepperSec, Inc., the developers of Tornado Cash, in August of 2020. We made this investment because we believe in the importance of open-source privacy-preserving technology. Prior to our investment, we obtained an outside legal opinion that confirmed that…
It’s true. The passage of our pro-crypto bills in the House last week was nothing short of historic. And we’re just getting started. breitbart.com/politics/2025/…

I watched this live and instantly admired @valkenburgh. It’s said that you should never meet your heroes. He’s an exception. I admire him more today than ever. Here’s what we’ve learned since this epic description. What he describes will only work without trust when the sender,…
trump just posted that epic bitcoin & blockchain innovation speech from coincenter’s van valkenburgh 👀

The Government doesn’t want storm to educate the jury about privacy services. They must have missed the memo — Privacy is Normal! #Zcash $ZEC Follow @theragetech for important updates on @rstormsf’s trial.

Privacy isn't a niche. It's a human right. And @Zcash and @ElectricCoinCo are its most battle-tested champions in crypto. Today, @dKiTdev unlocks something powerful: Transparent $ZEC can now flow cross-chain. This is bigger than it sounds.

If you want real institutional adoption then you need on chain privacy. If you want privacy you need to protect privacy developers.
1/ Crypto Week has officially arrived in DC – hard for me to believe, personally, having worked on these issues before “crypto” was even part of the Beltway vernacular! It’s hard to overstate this historic moment for our industry.

The world is waking up to the scam of fiat money. But while decentralized, transparent ledgers may be a good idea for sovereign nation-states, they are a liability for individuals. Mass ZK adoption is imminent.
