Oxygen was almost called 'fire air.' Glad they changed it.

Bitcoin Style Encryption: When Technobabble Meets Marketing
The humor here is deliciously technical! This tweet is dated June 1, 2025 (we're time travelers now?), claiming XChat has "Bitcoin style encryption." That's like saying your bicycle has "car style wheels" โ€” it's a meaningless tech buzzword salad designed to sound impressive while saying absolutely nothing specific about the actual cryptographic protocols being used. The Rust programming language reference is legit, but pairing it with "Bitcoin style encryption" is pure technobabble. Bitcoin uses several cryptographic methods (primarily SHA-256 and ECDSA), but there's no singular "Bitcoin style" encryption that would make sense in a messaging app context. It's the perfect parody of how tech features get marketed with impressive-sounding but ultimately meaningless jargon. Next up: quantum-blockchain-AI-powered toasters!
