I’ve emphasized this in past comments, and emphasized a few times during my participation in the first Zcash DevFund Twitter space.

**Memes** must be treated with utmost respect because of their potential relative power/ virality.

- this topic regards disussions here about Governance, Power-Brokering, Trademarks, et al
- the ongoing Dev-Fund discussions
- the messaging about Zcash Posterity Fund
- Zcash coin value (a crisis)
- the now mitigated Spam Attack

HLoo clearly understands the power of memes for communication. A concisely termed meme can have a radically more substantive impact than 5 paragraphs of text (sadly this is my default mode lol).

As with Nathan, there is a ton of content, opinion, and speculation to digest here… I’ll be back with more follow-up remarks when the time is available.

@Chammy have you got any tangible reasons to have the hunch that @aquietinvestor is an extension from your _powers-that-be_? In my time here, I’ve never got even a pinch of a hint that Jason has legacy or current direct links to the old guard at ZF and-or ECC

**This twice:**

> This whole thing about profit or non profit is a red herring isn’t it? non profits in many cases just pay out what would be a profit to higher salaries, or do related party transactions to shell companies, companies in which the people running it have a financial interest to strip out profits to give the appearance of non profit but in reality its not. It’s a marketing scam.
