Ok, enough is enough. I’m going full ETH bull mode until further notice. Idk how we’re back in 2019 again with this entire industry fading ETH but we’re somehow here. ETH is the most important asset in crypto. ETH is ridiculously underpriced. ETH is money.

Arbitrum and Optimism are parasitic to Ethereum in the same way Texas and California are parasitic to the U.S. (They're not) Btw the people arguing for more on the L1 aren't necessarily wrong imo. But that's more a question of states vs federal responsibilities - and it's a good conversation to have. I think Ethereum will graduate from its loose Articles of Confederation era to its unified Federal Constitution era. A United Chains of Ethereum.

Sparks are ETH. 1 ETH = 1,000,000 sparks ETH has never had a good term for a microether, so I support Sparks. Gwei = 1 billionth of 1 ETH Sparks = 1 millionth of 1 ETH 100 sparks = .23 cents. Investors buy ETH. Creators earn Sparks. L2 apps should denominate in Sparks.

New Zora app is everything I’d hoped to see in Ethereum. Wallet - feels like web2. Instant - fast, no gas. Ownership - mint, own, earn as verbs. Property - L2 secured by ETH. ETH as money - Sparks are a unit of ETH. We finally have it. Ethereum is ready for mainstream. 🚀

Ethereum L2s are innovating in a 100 directions at once at warp speed. The fact that the market thinks this is bearish ETH is crazy.

THANK YOU! Tom Emmer and Patrick McHenry sent a letter asking Gensler why he's blocking US Citizens from Airdrops. Has the SEC considered the cost to GDP and tax revenue? Absolutely ridiculous that Gensler wants to protect you from free money.

ETH needs more holders with conviction. Willing to get loud. Buying in size.

This mask blocks AI facial recognition. The right to encrypt your face. I wonder how many “free democracies” will make things like this illegal in the coming years. Without encryption we’re all just sitting ducks for totalitarian autocrats.

it's actually crazy that polymarket has proven so useful as a truth finding protocol it's broadcast on CNN and added to bloomberg terminals yet U.S. citizens are geoblocked from using it due to stupid regulation. The US is so backwards on crypto.

ETH is money. The Ethereum economy with its tokens & defi & L2s will someday measure in the hundreds of trillions. Across this vast economy there be only one asset w/ the deepest liquidity & settlement - a censorship resistant store of value. 2016 - ETH is money for blockspace 2017 - ETH is money for ICOs 2018 - ETH is money for tokens 2019 - ETH is money for loans 2020 - ETH is money for DeFi 2021 - ETH is money for NFTs 2023 - ETH is money for blobspace 2024 - ETH is money for L2s ETH has always been money. "Investors don't understand ETH is money" Money is a store of value, medium of exchange, and unit of account. Money is an adjective. ETH is the most money asset in the ETH economy. By the time the ETH economy is measured in trillions investors will understand. "ETH needs a new narrative" No. Grow the Ethereum economy. As the economy grows so will ETH. Scale L2s, scale DeFi, scale tokens, scale users. Scale into every corner of the internet. First, ETH is money. Then, money is ETH.

I've seen ETH sentiment this bad three times. 2016 - after the DAO hack they said smart contracts will never work but tokens were about to be a killer app 2019 - two years of bleeding they said ETH was a worthless gas token but DeFi was building And now... 2024 - a half cycle of underperformance they're saying ETH is old tech and L2s are parasitic but Ethereum is on the cusp of becoming a federated union of chains It's once again unpopular to believe ETH is money. Lovely opportunity. Contrarian bullish is how you earn the gains.

Ethereum is a property rights system for machines. Humans first, yes. But bots will be the main users. You think an AI agent can walk into a bank branch an open an account? Ethereum will bank the unbanked. The machines will be bankless.

I'm hoping the United Chains of Ethereum looks something like this in its end state. Many successful chain economies. No power law winning L2.

Max Resnick is MLGA - a new sect of Ethereum that wants to Make L1 Great Again. He thinks Ethereum has made a mistake by "giving up" on L1 and pushing everything to L2s. I asked if he was trying to start an ETH civil war because his takes are...spicy. But, is he right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLUJ0uLye0U

My base case is strong Q4 and crypto rocket in 2025 to ATH's. But...there's a another theory. We may be in the show me phase of crypto. There's a fair chance new investors won't hop aboard until crypto shows them the apps. This building phase - may last months - but it could last years. It took amazon 10 years to reach ATH after the dotcom bust. Be prepared for either outcome.

Arresting Pavel Durov in France. Making VPN access of Twitter illegal in Brazil. Jailing Tornado Cash developer in the Netherlands. The honeymoon between governments and the internet is over - they now want control. If it's not decentralized it will be controlled or killed.

Everyone is way too bearish on ETH. L2s are longterm good for ETH. ETH is an incredible store of value asset. Ethereum is the root of trust for DeFi. While others are building NASDAQ with APIs Ethereum is building a global property rights system. League of its own.
