once upon a time the only stablecoin around was called DAI (which is now called Sky, for some reason nobody knows), and to get it you had to execute 5 separate txs and open something super sexy called a collateralized debt position

I attended a talk by Vitalik in early 2015 outlining his vision for Ethereum Did I get in on the ICO or at least be among the earliest adopters? No, but at least I was there to hear a vision that I didn't fully understand yet 🥲

Personal story, but around 2013 I red-pilled one of the junior hires in my team to blockchains (really Bitcoin at the time). He ICOed a legit Ethereum token around 2016, which failed, but then went on to start up a successful CEX that operates to this day. So I haven’t done anything in crypto except vicariously through him!

Once there was this guy Roman Mandeleil. He created an EthereumJ (java implementation), was a big deal in r/ethereum, launched a hackathon/accelerator project at hack[.]ether[.]camp, and then basically ghosted. Pretty rare for a hardcore dev imo. Just looked him up today and he's a Flight Instructor 🤷🏻‍♂️

In the arcane scrolls of Ethereum, the DAO hack stands as a spectral legend, where an unseen trickster pilfered 14% of the total supply, slipping through the digital ether like a ghost. No perpetrator was ever caught, no justice served, but in the wake of this chaos, the crypto seers decided pain warrants exceptions, thus forking reality to mend their wounds—a luxury not afforded when Mt. Gox took my treasure to its grave. Ethereum Classic persists, a bastion for the code-is-law zealots, enduring constant sieges by 51% attacks, standing as a testament to a world where if you're hacked, the loss is yours alone to bear, in the stark, unyielding frontier of true blockchain ethos.

The Super Fried Chicken project on Ethereum was the first to build a game that leverages Eleven Labs and ChatGPT, and allow virtual chicken fights! https://superfriedchicken.xyz

I really enjoyed learning about the 'institutional hardness' and what's a 'cast' presented by Josh Stark @js. The Atoms, Institutions, Blockchains idea is pretty impressive. Find out more at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aiu8gcBlOuc

The Torndao Cash (domain squatting scam) website was still operating even though the real Tornado Cash website was shut down by law enforcement.

In 2021, a blockchain startup called SpaceChain launched the first Ethereum node into space. This project aimed to enhance the security and resilience of blockchain technology by eliminating reliance on centralized infrastructure. By extending the Ethereum network beyond Earth, they hoped to create a more robust and secure system. Isn’t it amazing how far technology can go? What do you think about this space-bound blockchain adventure?

For me, it's Vitalik's singing - a delightful example of his courage, self-irony, and humor that makes Ethereum community so special. These moments perfectly capture the spirit of authenticity and creative freedom I love about the ecosystem ✨ I especially appreciate these gems: - His cover of https://youtu.be/WdrSP0V-KLg (seen here: https://x.com/samanthawyap/status/1836273997492740523) - His solo here: https://youtu.be/D6_d5NODsdQ

Vitalik used to be a Bitcoiner and worked for Bitcoin magazine. He only started Ethereum after he came to realize a project called "colored coins" wouldn't end up being feasible with Bitcoin's limited op codes. I still have some colored coins somewhere

In early Ethereum times, DAOs were not called DAOs. They were often called DACs (corporation, not organisation). Don't know why they switched, maybe for legal reasons. Also, NFTs were called NFTs because the devs working on the ERC standard did a survey of what people thought they should be called. In second place was 'deeds'. I personally think deed is a much better way of conceptualising what an NFT is!

I was way too early on DePIN 😅 (probably still too early today) But Ethereum gives me hope, it never went away after the party died in 2017. So I guess I'll stick around till we make it work 😉 PS: I've kept all the whitepapers from my fav (failed) ICO projects. serves a helpful reference when I come across the ideas in the wild again.
