This is a great talk that makes a strong case for Ethereum to integrate native rollups.

Was doing a swap on @base in @coinbasewallet earlier and was shocked to see I was about to get hit with a $30 fee. The saving grace is that there is no lock in and I could just go directly to @matchaxyz to avoid exorbitant fees. Nothing against reasonable fees for good products but that seems kinda high.

I'll add my debanking story. I was debanked by Bank of America in 2019 for sending transactions to coinbase and operating a Cosmos staking as a service company - just a dear john letter, no explanation. Shortly after my 2 person staking company was sent a letter of veiled threats by the SEC with accompanying demands for discovery documents including every email, invoice, contract, and detailed legal explanation for everything i was doing. The legal reply cost mega $$$ - i shut down the staking business after realizing i couldn't fight the U.S. gov alone then got 10x pilled on DeFi and started Bankless. If you tell normies the bank shut down you down and you got a letter from the SEC they assume you're a criminal so you don't tell people. That's the insidious part - they try to isolate you. I’m not saying my debanking story is the most tragic thing ever woe is me. I'm doing fine. What I'm saying is this shouldn't happen in America.

“In late 2022, OFAC […] blacklisted Tornado Cash for its role in laundering virtual currency for malicious cyber actors. The […] users of Tornado Cash […] argue that Tornado Cash’s inclusion on the SDN [Specially Designated National and Blocked Persons] list exceeded OFAC’s statutory authority. The district court disagreed […] Contrary to the [Treasury] Department’s arguments, the immutable smart contracts are not services. So even when we consider OFAC’s regulatory definitions, the immutable smart contracts are not property because they are not ownable, not contracts, and not services. […] We hold that OFAC exceeded its statutory authority […] Accordingly, we reverse and remand to the district court with instructions to grant [the plaintiffs] partial motion for summary judgment.” — US Court of Appeals, Nov. 26, 2024 Massive W for Ethereum, cypherpunk values, & crypto in general. The TC contract address might soon get removed from the OFAC’s SDN 🎉 No more censorship FUD either

Been running a node with this script for the past month and it was super easy to set up and convenient to be able to query the chain state without a third party.

🧪 we've been experimenting with a BuidlGuidl "client" ⚙️ starting with making it really easy to run an Ethereum node... 🖍️ we made a one-line command that runs Reth + Lighthouse 🎚️ and looks rad and nerdy: client.buidlguidl.com
