Chain abstraction is reshaping how we approach blockchain composability. Instead of chasing "the best chain," the focus shifts to enabling seamless, trust-minimized Chain Abstracted interactions.

The "concerned" Eth meme is powerful because you can't unsee it. Everyone who is trying to surreptitiously attack Eth says they're "concerned", and no one who is actually concerned about Eth phrases things that way.

Their family and my family were on a Thanksgiving cruise. I met Lilit at the "Teen Club" where the parents would drop off their 13-18 year olds so they could go drink and gamble. Our families did not know each other at all prior to the cruise. We met and hit it off.

Rollups have been rightly criticized for compromising on decentralization, while Fuel V1 is famous for being the first "true", stage-2 rollup. Decentralizing the sequencer is a key step towards making Fuel rollups just as permissionless and censorship-resistant as Ethereum itself.

Neobanks will launch on Ethereum. The cost to create onchain banks are dramatically lower than their fintech counter-part. Projects like Aave, Morpho and Moonwell are already changing the financial landscape. Ethereum is the new financial system.

Fun story, I set up a nonprofit to fundraise and fund academics writing papers about, among other things, debanking. Had crypto in the name of the nonprofit. @BankofAmerica refused to give me a bank account. True story.

It's a misconception that purely centralized use cases don't need a decentralized chain. The larger and more valuable a *centralized* use case, the more it wants to be on a *decentralized* chain to minimize risk. This is one of the most bullish and misunderstood things about ETH.

And while I am a strong proponent of the second path, the reality is that L1 is very slow at executing on it. With more pragmatism, we could have more capacity on the L1 as well as more blobs. But sadly, this is not the way we do things.

Saw multiple FUD about the Beam Chain timeline being set for 2028-2030. That's too long, Ethereum isn’t going to make it. Note that Beam Chain is the ultimate "end game," but the protocol will continue improving with every hard fork. We'll have more DA, a better EVM, stronger

The top crypto policy priority for Trump must be ending Biden's attempt to destroy the industry via regulation by enforcement. This means dropping the SEC's unjustified enforcement actions and the DOJ's Tornado Cash prosecution. This must be the litmus test for new leadership.

Polymarket was a big winner last night. Had republican edge leading into race, was ahead of any news outlets on quick movements when new data dropped and had the race over hours before media called it. Great to see. Prediction markets are the future.

EigenLayer Unlocked EP #19: Building Ethereum's Connectivity Hub with Polymer Labs The future of Ethereum is unified, as it once was. However, as we all know, we are battling with the tradeoffs of the rollup-centric roadmap with a less-than ideal UX and fragmentation today.

The US Treasury Department is now acknowledging that Tokenization of US treasuries on Ethereum is the most efficient way to trade treasuries 24/7! In few years, they'll probably launch an Ethereum L2 to mint US treasuries natively onchain. Ethereum IS the new financial system.

Bitcoin will win because its lack of scalability, lack of privacy, and lack of decentralized smart contract support means that it poses a much smaller threat to the existing powers that be than scalable, private, smart contract supporting

I doubt anyone cares about r/ethereum like I do. But increasingly I think that the sub is at a crossroads and it's time to make a decision as a community about the future of it.
