Many important dates in the history - but if we're going to pick a birthday, better to celebrate the day the ecosystem shipped something real and kept the promise, not the day a promise was made

Ethereum's "birthday" is the day mainnet launched (July 30 2015), not the day people started raising money to work on it.

Ethereum ecosystem should launch a constellation of weather satellites controlled as public goods The tech is there. It would take Star Wars (Reagan, not Lucas) grade weaponry to knock it out. Anyone have details on the Blockstream satellites? Crypto needs its own space program

Here is my conversation with Justin Glibert, cofounder of Lattice and 0xPARC. We talk about autonomous worlds, digital physics, agency and violence on the internet, homo economics vs homo ludens, and reading weird books. Full conversation here: intothebytecode.com/36-justin-glibert/

I finally wrote up my thoughts on EOF. https://mariusvanderwijden.github.io/blog/2024/07/12/EOF/ I will keep working on the EOF, implementation in geth, because I don't want to undermine the process.

Ethereum is a blockchain, the Ethereum Foundation is an organization. The Ethereum Foundation is helping to launch this, not Ethereum.

The pandemic was the period during which I became fully "orange-pilled" about cryptocurrency and blockchains. I had already had baseline familiarity from working on the Edward Snowden NSA document stories (Snowden is a Bitcoin fan) but seeing the way in which decentralized finance ran circles around Wall Street through Reddit channels sent me down a rabbit hole of curiosity. I binged on books including "The Age of Cryptocurrency" by Michael Casey among many others. I also discovered @balajis.eth podcasts and he was also a great resource in taking the time to chat with me about the technology and becoming someone to bounce ideas around with. Crypto has a ways to go but as someone who has benefitted immensely from the internet I do believe in the promise of decentralized networks, finance, and organizations. Among journalists I'm a bit of an outlier (though I'm not alone) but I wrote a manifesto summarizing my views on the matter sometime back: https://mazmhussain.substack.com/p/what-bitcoin-and-crypto-are-for

Hello Ethereum world! Happy to announce the first unstable version v0.1.0 of my Go SSZ serialization library! Codename "SSZ 15", because it's at least the 15th SSZ library out there... and because I worked on it exactly 15 days! Here's what it is, and what it isn't 🧵
