Today the trial has ended and I have faced the charges against me for criticizing Islam. The prosecutor is asking the court to extradite me to Iraq just because I criticized Islam and burned the Quran.

2020 to 2025, these were the top 10 chains by DeFi TVL over time. While Ethereum has always been number 1, 36 different chains have been in the top 10 at one point.

Ethereum is the greatest innovation in financial infrastructure. Using ETH to secure this infrastructure is genius. It gave birth to DeFi, NFTs, memecoins, RWAs, and others. AI agents, even if they’re not perfect yet, have great potential and should not be faded.

People talk as if Ethereum just sat around for 5 years. Couldn’t be more wrong! For true scaling you need mature PoS and modular architecture, and that took time. As we are (finally) about to hit rapid crypto adoption, this competitive edge in soundness & robustness will matter.

2024 has been a year of building for what’s to come in the near future! We are proud of what the DeLorean brand has accomplished with its bold entrance into the world of Web3. We are grateful for the support we have received from so many amazing communities who have truly

"How do we make eth feel like 1 single chain/ecosystem again?" Making it feel like 1 single chain can never be achieved with only onchain techniques because there are too many competing onchain techniques.

My wife and I have been targeted by North Korea multiple times. Constantly trying to access our accounts, spearfishing, etc. @tayvano_ is the first person I turn to and she has been nothing but incredible at every turn. If she's proactively trying to protect you... Take the help.

It's going to be amazing when policymakers reach the conversation on a Strategic Ethereum Reserve and find that none of the objections to a BTC reserve apply to ETH because Ethereum distributes the US Dollar better than any other system in history.

Concerned about the capital gravity well on the L1. Concerned that L2s will soon be faster and cheaper than alt L1s. Concerned to see next gen interop coming online. Have to slow down growth for the sake of ETH ETFs. They need time to catch up their allocation while still

Fluid is achieving levels of capital efficiency that are totally impossible to achieve in tradfi. It would be like trying to build a skyscraper out of wood. Eth's decentralization will attract trillions of $, and protocols like Fluid will give that capital superpowers.

The fact yall are planning for a bear market means there is no bear market coming yet. It comes when we are all bull posting for months on end not when being pragmatic.

Ether is up 8% in the last 24 hours as Bitcoin and Solana dominance keep tanking. Meanwhile, Fed Chair Jerome Powell says the top cryptocurrency is competing against gold, not the U.S. dollar.

"Ethereum has been a laggard relative to Bitcoin - up 59% YTD vs. 124% for Bitcoin. However, Ethereum fundamentals look strong and the recent inflection in ETF inflows, indicates a solid revival of interest."

Regular reminder that building your own blocks is great! Metal Albert has been happily proposing vanilla blocks for the last four years (minus 3 days). Amazing to be able to take part, from home, in ordering the global internet of value.

I don't get "Bitcoin is already decentralized money, focus on the world computer vision", when Bitcoin can hardly be used trustlessly due to lack of scale and programmability. Ethereum the smart contract platform and eth as its native asset allow for each other's success.

Attacking crypto is such a bizarre political strategy. Do Dems actually have good intel showing that the average swing voter buys this nonsense? I’m convinced this will have zero effect on swing voters and instead will alienate everyone in crypto.

The crypto industry's top pick for SEC chair should clearly be @BrianBrooksUS . Beyond crypto, BB understands the SEC's mandate and limited scope. The SEC has gone far off the rails and done tremendous harm to US companies and markets. Let's Make American Markets Marvelous Again.

Soft drink companies use sugar substitutes because of high tariffs on sugar. If you mandate that they use sugar instead of corn syrup, without also removing the tariff, this will cause... prices of soft drinks to increase
