A peaceful mind creates space for clarity, creativity, and the courage to take the next step.

Your future is shaped by your present thoughts and actions. Don’t wait, start now, always.

Wander through life, embrace the unknown, and trust that the path will reveal itself along the way.

Fail forward, never backward, keep evolving.

Sometimes, it’s the small, quiet choices that lead to the biggest, most life-changing decisions in the end.

If you wait for the perfect moment, you'll miss all the imperfect ones that hold the real magic.

Earlier this morning @danfinlay's account posted a message about a token. This message wasn't posted by Dan and we've been looking into what may have happened. 

We're still investigating and don't have a root cause yet, but believe this issue only affects this particular account. More details in thread.

Ethereum

If you could force everyone at the EF, from Vitalik to a hypothetical new hire on their first day, to do 3-10 things onchain tomorrow, what would they be?

TRX? Did Justin Sun show fealty and donate a huge sum to his campaign?

AMA about the EF, I'll answer whatever I can!

politics

Three days before the inauguration, Trump has launched a memecoin that has since risen more than 10,000%

He did so after inviting the Crypto Industry to a black tie event in DC

Here’s my theory on $TRUMP, which is almost diabolical, but totally something Trump is capable of 🧵

This has 14 likes on here. On X, Eric Trump retweeted it. We need more famous people on here.

“In hindsight, it should have been obvious that when Trump launched his coin it meant X”

Solve for X

I used to complain a lot about DeFi, L2 tokens etc. and their abysmal token distributions in 2021/22, to deaf ears

That particular slippery slope has met its valley

Just straight up criminal extortion, no filter 🤣

Law & Policy

Last week in crypto regulation (January 13 - January 19):

#CryptoRegulation #DonaldTrump #Tether #SEC #Polymarket #DeFi

We are indeed currently in the process of large changes to EF leadership structure, which has been ongoing for close to a year. Some of this has already been executed on and made public, and some is still in progress.

What we're trying to achieve is primarily the following goals:

* Improve level of technical expertise within EF leadership
* Improve two-way communications and ties between EF leadership and the ecosystem actors, old and new, that it is our role to support: users (individual and institutional), app devs, wallets, L2s
* Bring in fresh talent, improve execution ability and speed
* Become more actively supportive of app builders, and make sure important values and inalienable rights (esp privacy, open source, censorship resistance) are a reality for users including at the app layer
* Continue to increase our use of decentralized and privacy tech and the Ethereum chain, including for payments and treasury management

...

The non-goals are almost as important here. Essentially a rejection of the internal push to destroy Crypto values: centralisation, corporatisaton and populist Americanism.
