I guess I started an accidental AMA on which parts of the crypto space are good and which I'm so far not excited about, along with other big picture vision questions: https://x.com/VitalikButerin/status/1827583576751181961 You should feel free to ask questions here too! Let's see if Farcaster can come up with higher-quality questions than the other app :)

Years ago, when I started building a decentralized discord clone, people asked me why. I wanted a communication tool that was truly decentralized, in a way that no state actor was able to gain control over. Signal's design wasn't capable of group chats beyond a certain size. The features only went so far. And it has failure points such that countries block them by firewall and have to rely on the good graces of others to run proxies, which ultimately get shut down or blocked too. App stores do not share in this ideal — their concern is profit, and will bend backwards when forced to by regulatory bodies. Amazon and others are complicit in helping state actors maintain their control of the web, and are profiting handsomely from the arrangement. None of this happened by accident. And I only saw it getting worse. I realized what I was building in this chat application went beyond just chat, and how pressing it was to make this general purpose.

This week at /quilibrium we shipped - first stage of mainnet with bootstraps moved to 2.0 network: https://github.com/QuilibriumNetwork/ceremonyclient/tree/v2.0-bootstrap - separate MIT-licensed cut of RPM – a distributed mixnet once proposed to kill MEV: https://github.com/QuilibriumNetwork/rpm - first pass of acceptance tests of bootstraps (we're so close now to mainnet being unlocked) - a few acceptance tests and possible tweaks remain 🤞

This. This is why I've said this so many times, in so many ways. Public ledgers are a mistake. They are the single greatest failing in crypto, and privacy should never be an opt in. Bring billions on chain? Attest to everything about your life, your location? https://twitter.com/TheCryptoCPA/status/1781403340045197813

This is bad. Crypto is not just trading tokens, it's part of a broader ethos of freedom and privacy and keeping power in the hands of the little guy. These values unfortunately continue to be under attack, globally. https://twitter.com/LizaGoitein/status/1781546937675657392

The media is ignoring the worst of this. I’m going to take a brief moment to share the broader message I shared with the Quilibrium community after news broke. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/senate-renews-fisa-section-702-spying-privacy-rcna148394#
