Coinbase, a publicly traded business in the US, seems to have pulled off the impossible — they built a blockchain that is being widely adopted although they were under intense regulatory scrutiny.

Ethereum is game-changing, literally. It creates an environment to warp games from the realm of non-cooperative game theory into cooperative game theory, acting as an external enforcer of agreements between players.

The last couple of days have shown unprecedented community involvement from all parts of the Polygon ecosystem and beyond. It’s a great testament to the resilience and implicit checks and balances that social consensus provides.

If there was no Iran Deal—i.e. $billions into coffers of IRGC thugs—Assad would never have had wherewithal to kill hundreds of thousands. Obama not enforcing his own redline was an extension of his larger decision to aid Iran’s regime. And the Iran Deal was marketed as “peace”.

I think we have a coordination problem here with L1<>L2. Case in point: EIP-7762: Increase MIN_BASE_FEE_PER_BLOB_GAS by @MaxResnick1 on ACDE#201. There are tidbits of scattered info, such as this from @roberto_bayardo that signal support but is not

I see an even more bullish scenario unfolding: 1) As rewards and slashing mechanisms are implemented, AVSs will evolve into distinct tiers, making restaking more modular and granular. 2) The current standard is delegating assets into a single LRT, but what if you could delegate

Ethereum is the beating heart of all of crypto. It seems consensus at the moment to either deny this altogether or think that despite this ETH is a bad investment, which is completely nonsensical. CT needs to get out of donkeyland about ETH.

Ethereum stablecoin dominance is now POSITIVE for all of 2024 - without even taking into consideration the big 3 rollups. Ethereum has no competition. Ethereum stands alone. Ethereum is the home of stablecoins. To $1trillion next.
