This is a joke post right?

I dont care how skilled at mental gymnastics you are, this was discussed in the dev fund debate. we as many other coins, like bitcoin, do not redistribute other people stuff (tho they are trying. coin taint/colouring is anti zcash right? or am i in the wrong place)

Also were you not arguing that deflation benefits everyone. remember burn? this is still burn. still just as abhorrent and hopefully still as hated by the SEC.

I know/hope this is a playful thread, but people seem to be talking themselves into things.
