The 2023 Nissan Z first drive

Is it a remastered classic or an old platform pushed too far?

The Z badge holds a certain reverence in the world of Japanese performance. Aside from a one-year break back in 2001, Nissan’s two-seater has been in continuous production since 1969, and the formula that was established by the original 240Z still remains in place more than half a century later: eye-catching proportions, driver-focused design, and a six-cylinder engine sending power to the rear wheels.

For decades the Z was locked in a rivalry with the Toyota Supra for sports car supremacy, but in 2002 Toyota decided to pull the plug on its sports coupe. Perhaps due in part to the absence of its natural sparring partner, the outgoing 370Z—which originally made its debut in 2008—had really been starting to show its age in recent years, but any notion that Nissan could afford to rest on its laurels was put to bed in 2019 when the Supra rejoined the fray.

Rather than collaborating with another OEM to build its new sports car (as Toyota did with BMW in order to develop the new Supra), the Z is wholly a product of Nissan, and that comes with inherent benefits as well as some notable drawbacks. But as we discovered while hunting down apices on the road course at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, carving corners on the winding desert tarmac near Nevada’s Lake Mead, and cruising through Sin City, the Z fundamentals thankfully still remain intact.

Pirate Bay’s Crypto ‘Token’ is Barely Alive After Just One Year

One year ago, The Pirate Bay released its very own ‘crypto’ token out of the blue. There was no official whitepaper for this soft launch, but the torrent site envisioned the ‘coin’ being used to access VIP content or donate to uploaders. Thus far, nothing has come of it. People don’t seem interested in the ‘project’ and the price continues to drop.

laser pirate bay The cryptocurrency landscape has been hit hard this week.

Bitcoin is down more than 50% from its high a few months earlier and even some ‘stablecoins’ have started to disintegrate.

This type of volatility is not unexpected and the early adopters have already lived through a few of these crashes. This includes The Pirate Bay.

The notorious torrent site is somewhat of a crypto pioneer. In 2013, it was one of the first to add support for Bitcoin donations, with Litecoin and Monero following shortly after. Later on, TPB also popularized website-based mining, something that not all users were in favor of.

The PirateToken

Last year The Pirate Bay added another crypto project to its list with the launch of PirateToken (TPB). Initially, we assumed that this was some type of advertising deal for a third party, but the site swiftly reassured the public it was serious.

“It’s a soft launch to a new thing we want to try and we have many ideas,” the TPB team wrote, noting that the token might be useful to donate to moderators and uploaders, or to purchase VIP content.

“Much Ideas. Much Wow. So Great,” they added, hoping that the site’s users would hop on the bandwagon.

This week, exactly a year has passed since the Pirate Token went live and, thus far, the project hasn’t been particularly successful. At the time of writing the token trades for little over $1, far off the $15 high that was reached soon after it went public.

Needless to say, the recent crypto crash hasn’t helped but the price had already begun to tumble while Bitcoin was making new highs, so that’s not exactly an excuse.

478 Holders, 5 Transactions

The price isn’t really the biggest concern either. From what we can see, there is simply very little interest in the project. In fact, the number of people owning some TPB tokens is dropping. There are currently just 478 holders left, which is a tiny fraction of the site’s userbase.

These holders aren’t very active either. Over the past 30 days, there have only been five transactions.

Another bad sign is the fact that 99.98% of the 100,000,000 tokens are still held by the creator of the project. So while the theoretical market cap is over $100 million, the public only owns roughly $20,000 worth of TPB.

None of this should come as a surprise really. The token has no utility at the moment and The Pirate Bay isn’t promoting it in any way either. Yes, there is a dedicated link to the “token” page on the site, but that’s currently redirecting to the homepage.

Perhaps all of this will change when the TPB team spurs into action, but holders shouldn’t get their hopes up. Right now, it’s certainly not the digital pirate treasure they’d hoped for but the same can also be said for other niche tokens, including BitTorrent.
