Analyst Swan called Zcash "trash" and accused the team of orchestrating a pump.
Founder and CEO of Swan Bitcoin, Cory Klippsten, has sharply criticized the cryptocurrency Zcash and its marketing strategy. In his assessment, the current information campaign surrounding the project represents a "coordinated pump," and he characterized the asset itself as "garbage." Klippsten paid particular attention to the coin distribution structure: he claims that 99% of all ZEC volume is held on centralized exchanges, making it extremely vulnerable to manipulation...

Quantum computing is perhaps one of the few sectors where direct government funding can truly be justified. However, as recent discussions in expert circles show, without clear and transparent rules, such support risks turning into a tool of political pressure or, worse, slowing down the development of the technology itself.
Unlike drones, batteries, or rare earth metal processing, where the government can stimulate the market through public procurement or regulation, the quantum field is at a stage where commercial products are virtually nonexistent, the dominant architecture is undefined, and production chains are only just forming...
