🤡 Zcash Drama: ECC Staff Walks Out, Crypto World Watches in Amusement 🤡

Josh Swihart, the ECC CEO, took to the digital town square (X, as it is now called) to proclaim that his team was “constructively discharged.” A phrase as dramatic as it is legal, it implies that the Bootstrap board, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, had imposed conditions so intolerable that resignation was the only honorable exit. One cannot help but imagine the board members-Zaki Manian, Christina Garman, Alan Fairless, and Michelle Lai-as characters in a tragicomedy, their actions misaligned with Zcash’s original mission, according to Swihart.

🤑 Ripple’s ‘Yield Engine’: Stablecoins or Just Stable Dreams? 🌪️

McDonald, with the gravitas of a man selling ice to Eskimos, lamented that retail investors often let their stablecoins gather dust. “Why let your money sleep?” he intoned, as if addressing a room of somnambulists. He then revealed two grand methods to awaken these slumbering assets. The first, investing in interest-bearing stablecoins, is a privilege reserved for those in “certain jurisdictions”-a phrase as vague as a politician’s promise.
