Both scaling the L1 immediately and optimizing for rollups long-term is possible. In fact, it's the only way I see Ethereum winning. And Ethereum is uniquely positioned to pull it off because it has a) existing network effects for both and b) enough resources to achieve both.

DeFi lending reimagined TradFi, but its first wave often sacrificed flexibility for predictability due to their monolithic designs. As the DeFi matures, rigid frameworks struggle to support today’s diverse assets.

We're dropping a Black Friday deal for the latest series Citizen Merch. Get something for yourself or for Grandma when she's waiting in line for the bank teller to deposit some checks.

Hey @pumpdotfun there is currently someone using your livestreams to threaten to hang themselves if the coin does not reach a set marketcap. Absolutely heinous and It needs to come down + see if you can get them help. Shut down the livestream feature. This is out of control.

Bitcoin is very important but if you think the entirety of gainful crypto will be limited to BTC when we have a president who is LITERALLY launching NFT and DeFi projects on Ethereum then you are just high on the current BTC dominance chart BTC is the beginning, not the end

Everyone who had negative reactions to Justin Drake's Beam Chain proposal should watch this follow up talk he did at the Bankless Summit. It nicely contextualizes where the Beam Chain fits within the rest of the Ethereum roadmap.

And so it's true we run a real risk of "cosmosification": The L1 is retreating more and more to its base function, and other projects fill in the gaps. And as they are building the product, they will ultimately accrue the value. This is in short, Ethereum's value accrual

Trump’s leading pick for Treasury Secretary — billionaire hedge fund investor Scott Bessent — is very pro-crypto, particularly pro-Bitcoin. Some recent statements: “I have been excited about the president’s embrace of crypto and I think it fits very well with the Republican

The modular architecture separating Security, Execution, and Data Availability is not just more performant, it's actually the correct abstraction for corporate, bank, and government adoption.

Elon basically wagered his entire net worth on the election and won. The Dems were going to absolutely destroy him if Trump lost. One of the gutsiest moves in history. Genuinely inspirational stuff.

Yep. NFTs kinda of skewed the idea and expectations of what it means to be an artist. The reality is that doing art is going to be a perpetual bear market for 99% of artists. Only 1% of artists see financial freedom from making art. It is the same in most industries/creative

Imagine if $400 million more dollars were spent developing technology that could reimagine the internet. Or reimagine our inequitable financial system. Instead, the SEC’s strategy diverts this money away from innovation and toward defending lawsuits.

Thank you @SECGov for my 50th birthday present in the form of a motion to dismiss the complaint @songadaymann & I filed asking for a declaratory judgment that selling art as NFTs doesn’t violate the securities laws. I’m gonna tweet my favorite bits.

The “No North Star” meme is ridiculous. Sure, there are plenty of implementation details to debate and figure out, but the idea that Ethereum hasn’t gone in a relatively coherent direction over the past decade is kinda wild. We just fixed the most visibly broken things 😅

One thing that surprised me about the response to this article was how many people were bothered by or wanted to ban the troll that I mentioned I find that letting the troll continue to waste his life

If the market gives you a chance to long a highly liquid yielding asset with a decade worth of success, that is simultaneously emerging as a store of value without the mainstream noticing.. You back up the truck and don’t look back

roko's basilisk is the idea that an ai could hunt you down across parallel timelines if you didn't bring it into existence in your timeline. i think it's a shit meme. what i DO think it's pointing to is that actions have trackable consequences across the fabric of the noosphere.

imo, the minimum outcome we should accept from a US stablecoin bill is for yield-bearing stablecoins to be easy to issue in America and not be securities. The incumbents, USDC and USDT, currently earn a combined ~$8B/yr in risk free investment income on stablecoin reserves.

Imagine every post, comment, or like you've ever made on social media being stored on the blockchain—expensive & slow, right? Not with validiums. Lens will keep your posts secure, fast, & affordable by storing them off-chain, but still giving you full control.
