Bitget Launches Stock Contracts for SoftBank Group (SOFTBANK)

F2Pool co-founder Wang Chun has shared a retrospective post recounting that six years ago, a Zcash team member contacted him, but their communication collapsed after the individual repeatedly confused US Eastern Standard Time and US Eastern Daylight Time. Wang subsequently blocked the entire company the employee belonged to. Six years later, Wang says this remains one of the "best decisions" he has made. He also cited a prior BlockFi incident: the crypto firm was meant to send users $701.4 but instead transferred 701.4 BTC. Wang joked, "Someone who can’t even distinguish between US Eastern Standard Time and Daylight Time probably mixes up BTC and USD too." Additionally, Wang noted he was pleased to have liquidated all his ZEC holdings last week and fully switched to DOGE. Note: In April 2020, Wang publicly criticized the Zcash team, stating that if the group could not even understand how daylight saving time works, it could not claim to comprehend zkSNARKs. He further argued the project employed too many staff who lack mastery of basic principles, a flaw he warned could eventually cause the project to fail.
