Idk man but the real threat to Ethereum isn't the state actually (at least not today). It's the VCs & protocol careerists trying to neuter it into a shiny fintech playground for "safe", compliant DeFi. Hear me out: They don't want unstoppable code. They don't want resistance. They want fucking _control_. Because deep down, they know what Ethereum could become if it's left unchained: a censorship-resistant, privacy-first global execution layer that no state, no corp, no cartel of suits could ever fucking stop. Let's make this a reality.

look, I'm usually a big supporter of Proton. But in a world full of infostealers, you do not fucking tell people to store their crypto wallet private keys in a password manager - even if it's Proton Pass! And let's be clear: you should also not store things like passports, driver's licenses, medical records, or social security numbers in a password manager either. If you get compromised, all of that can be used to pass KYC checks and steal your identity or assets. I respect Proton, but seriously fuck this. That's not how you secure your most critical data.

My periodic reminder: if someone offers you a slick-looking hardware gadget at EthCC (or any other crypto event), don't plug it in, don't take it home. Just walk away. Treat it like malware wearing a shiny casing. We've got enough infostealers in the wild already. Don't install one yourself via someone's "free" hardware.

When Vyper ships, 🐍 snekmate ships too. You know, at Vyper, we build _with_ each other, not from ivory towers. We're in the trenches _together_. So what's the TLDR for this release: I target now the latest `0.4.3` Vyper version and have shipped mainly two new features: - Utility functions for contract deployments using `CREATE`, `CREATE2`, and `CREATE3`. - A `block_hash` function that extends access to historical block hashes _beyond_ the native 256-block limit (using EIP-2935). Please note that this release will make all 🐍 snekmate contracts now target the new Vyper default EVM version `prague`. I genuinely believe Vyper is still one of the most underappreciated tech in Ethereum. I really encourage people to try it; the snake 🐍 is friendly, promise😄! https://x.com/vyperlang/status/1937466654817935799 Release: https://github.com/pcaversaccio/snekmate/releases/tag/v0.1.2

so I've been thinking about this for a while now and I'm more and more convinced that crypto was never meant for mainstream. The main reason being that crypto's purpose is _liberation_, not popularity. It's effectively for those who choose sovereignty over simplicity. If it never goes mainstream, that means it stayed dangerous. It stayed free. Thus, mainstream isn't the goal. Freedom is.

you know, I'm a simple guy: I roll (mostly) with ETH, Tornado Cash, Railgun, BTC, Zcash, and XMR these days. I don't use L2s. I don't use Solana. I don't use fancy DeFi protocols (I like it KISS and trustless). Simply put: just tools that work and don't ask permission. It could've been simple but somewhere along the way, we chose to build a fragmented, bloated mess of chains instead. A monster of our own making.

I know guys, you're all bullish on Claude etc. but if you keep outsourcing more and more of your thinking to LLMs, you'll eventually become whatever the algorithm decides. You lose your uniqueness, your edge. Just don't.

I think it's a solid move, but I'd love to see "protocol privacy" elevated to a strategic priority. What really gets to me is that I constantly have to bring it up just to raise awareness. Privacy needs to be baked into Ethereum's DNA. Period.

1/ Let's be real, a ton of people (yes, even probably you reading this) store pws, 2FA backup codes, and other sensitive info in `.txt` files. Even the 2FA providers themselves often give you those backup codes as `.txt` downloads. It's shit, but it's common. Obviously don't use `.txt` files to store any sensitive data, but let's address the major issue now: on Windows, Notepad is getting Copilot integration (sounds cool for many, but it's fucked!). That means if you open one of those `.txt` credential files, you're potentially leaking sensitive data to Microsoft's servers (I know you already leaked your dick/feet pics via the cloud sync feature of images but you don't care about those that much). They claim it only happens if you actively use Copilot features; but dude, who actually trusts that lol?

There is nothing I want more than for Ethereum to lead on privacy (scalability has always been a second priority for me tbh; not implying it's not important to be clear). Not conditional privacy. Unconditional. Long-term, I shouldn't need to interact with a smart contract just to shield a simple ETH transfer. Privacy should be native at the L1. Look, I've been using Monero & Zcash for some time already (on that note, please Ledger ship shielded addresses). I use them because their privacy is built-in & the UX is pretty smooth. That's exactly what I want from Ethereum. Simple, private, native payments. No extra steps. If we want to onboard people to privacy at a global scale, it must be native and easy. Full stop.

Listen guys, many might disagree with me on this, but Ethereum's lasting success is all about its Cypherpunk soul. Real (IMO unconditional) privacy, security, censorship resistance; that's the core and must always remain the core. Folks, honestly, forget the flashy business plans for Ethereum (we do not turn Ethereum into a fucking company). If we start prioritising those over the fundamentals, we're not just selling out; we're turning into muppets of the very mainstream systems we set out to disrupt. Read the last sentence again. Now again. Ethereum's future has to be _radical_ and _bold_, not obedient.

There is absolutely no valid reason why prices are pumping right now. We're still a clown-show industry, light-years away from making any _meaningful_ dent in the lives of 99.9% of people on this planet. I'm here because I believe in the long game, I always have, but let's not kid ourselves: this lazy complacency, the flood of useless degen apps and rollups, and the never-ending siphoning of users' funds is not the path forward. It's a fucking distraction, not a revolution. I personally would love to see Ethereum go privacy-first (and by that, I mean _unconditional_ privacy). This would make Ethereum a real-world use case for a high percentage of the world population (we still need to convince them of course 😉).

1/ time for a quick vibes check on where our industry's at security-wise; well, folks, guess what, 95% of last months' SEAL 911 tickets were the same shitshows on repeat: folks running sketchy code some rando DMed them (stop cloning & running GH repos you got from some random dude who asks for your "help"), hopping on Zoom calls where scammers walk them through (effectively) self-pwning (dude, believe me you don't need to patch your zoom or google meet) their own machines, teams getting nuked because they thought hiring bargain-bin devs from North Korea was a great idea, or some skiddies calling up victims pretending to be Coinbase support (always Coinbase, like 90% of the time and the rest is Ledger) and walking off with their funds. On top of that, there's the usual: someone falling in love with a random Tinder match and getting rinsed by a textbook Sha Zhu Pan play, and of course, the ever-reliable dev who commits their .env file with private keys straight to GitHub, NPM, etc.

Most crypto work (partially mine included) runs on some sort of 'hope Microsoft keeps GitHub online' mode. Git is decentralised but GitHub isn't. Shutting down key repos is one of the easiest ways to censor or disrupt upgrades and dev coordination. And yes, Microsoft can do that. There are legit alternatives but none with full feature parity. It's already way too late, but we as an industry must really rethink how we write, collaborate, deploy, and ship code.

Honestly, each time I upgrade Python I learn something new. So, decided this morning to upgrade to Python 3.13.3 (I mean why not). Pulled all available releases and realised that there is a new version suffix `t` available since 3.13.0. Dude wtf is this? Was super confused first. Well, guess what, it's a different (experimental) interpreter that supports the free-threaded mode (i.e. GIL disabled). https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#free-threaded-cpython
