Bluesky is such a good app now and has a large, humble community. I don't understand why crypto people still default to X with platform lock-in and pay-to-engage mechanics. Let's free ourselves.

I cannot get this article out of my head that I read in 2013 where Rick Falkvinge explained that Bitcoin will not go to $100 but rather to $100k~1000k. https://falkvinge.net/2013/03/06/the-target-value-for-bitcoin-is-not-some-50-or-100-it-is-100000-to-1000000/

Ethereum became the most important blockchain ecosystem without any marketing but yet again we have this discussion over and over again in 10 years. Marketing is for selling products. Ethereum is not a product. It's a protocol, a technology, a philosophy.

Vendors that accept only credit cards and reject private cash or crypto payments strongly infringe your privacy and you should call them out. So, stop complaining about shops that don't accept credit cards and get used to carry cash every day.

The line is not between crypto and fiat but between traceable and private. Fiat cash is extremely handy as long as it exists and much more private than most of the popular crypto-payment processors.

To increase the @ethereum runway, I propose that Optimism, Uniswap, Mantle, Arbitrum, Gnosis, and ENS each donate a $100 million in assets to the Ethereum Foundation. It would not only be a gesture of giving back but setting up the ecosystem for long-term success.

Everyone warning how dangerous Trump will be for the world - genuinely asking - where have you been for the last 40 presidents? As a European, it literally doesn't matter who wins. U.S. will keep messing with us all.

I won't be going to @devcon this year. If you are, there is one main event I highly recommend attending: The @logos-stack Parallel Societies Congress! https://psc.logos.co/ If nothing else, I invite you all to Protocol Berg v2 next year in Berlin. Take care! 🏴🖤

From Berlin with love: Protocol Berg returns with an extended two-day edition in 2025. 🖤 Mark your calendars: June 12-13, 2025 Last time Kreuzberg → this time Prenzlauer Berg, but as long as there is a ⛰️ it'll do! https://x.com/protocol_berg/status/1853395071107830218?s=46&t=irV1EKrYtiAALsSdP493ng

After the Criticial Decentralization Clusters at 35c3, 36c3, and 37c3, now the term "critical decentralization" made it into the 38c3 community CfP.

Missing the time when the internet was a parallel society and open source a political statement. It will take a lot to undo the damage.
