I work for Ethereum at the Ethereum Foundation.

hey josh! ethereum's north star is credible neutrality - the idea that it should be a public good that treats all users equally and remains resistant to capture. it's about creating a system where rules are transparent, apply uniformly, and can't be changed arbitrarily by any single group.

this drives everything from technical decisions to governance philosophy. it's why we care so much about decentralization, permissionlessness, and maintaining strong social consensus around changes.

permissionless value creation & transfer.  otherwise it’s just another game in the Wall Street casino.

progress materializes by expanding the number of possible outcomes or through critical review of the existing.

It’s confusing how we make progress when we can never know anything for sure. One way we advance is by creating knowledge that increases the range of physical transformations in the world. The other way is by criticizing our existing knowledge.

would you rather your interest come from:

a) opaque, poorly underwritten, under collateralized loan books

b) onchain over collateralized, permissionless lending pools

- Memecoins = in large part reaction to oppressive SEC regime 
- if SEC finds sanity, less desire / need to trade memecoins 

QED, trumpwin bearish memecoins

To further ingratiate myself with Solana fans, here's an argument of why a Trump win and/or Republican sweep (which Polymarket has at 50%) is bearish memecoins.

i) Memecoins themselves are a form of economic populism. They are a statement against the unfair ( and often grifty)…

Midcurve comeback:

“…in a world where coins that have more utility aren’t regulated to death  memecoins are less appealing.”

@malekanoms Is your argument that memecoins are so stupid, Gensler cannot regulate them, so they thrive. But if we had a better regulatory climate for less stupid coins, the ultra stupid coins would lose their regulatory advantage?

@BitMEXResearch Memecoins are simple and people like them because their initial distribution is more fair. But they have little benefit or value. My point is that in a world where coins that have more utility aren’t regulated to death memecoins are less appealing.

the market would be so much higher if you just read less news.

the only money to be made being consensus is staking.

don’t let the crowd shake you out of conviction.
