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 💜

😡🚨 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 ✊❤️

Surprise, they've become exit liquidity for the Zcash venture capitalists. Zcash like Bitcoin has become unfaithful to the original cypherpunk values. There's only one coin left that's truly cypherpunk and that's PIVX.

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.

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...

PIVX has been live since 2016, no ICO, no VC round, no pre-mine payday for insiders. Just continuous development and a community that's funded itself the whole way. Oh, and it has never been mentioned in the Epstein files. Worth 5 minutes of research at these low prices.

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.

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.

You can map the whole problem back to the Fed. Print money, hand it to Wall Street, watch asset prices explode, then act surprised when billionaires use those gains to buy every newspaper and TV network in sight. The monetary system IS the concentration machine.
