This was a copypasta, apologize for not taking better care to make sure context is understood! I'm very appreciative of the hard-working OGs still working hard for so long to push Ethereum (and I do think we need new blood too) https://x.com/coinwitch/status/1895094608406937672 https://x.com/zengjiajun_eth/status/1894895278551183543 https://x.com/psy_dao/status/1895125855338123283

For 2025 we need Fusaka on L1 with PeerDAS, ideally with 48/72 blob target/limit Let's aim to get a Fusaka testnet with these blob parameters running the day after Pectra goes live.

I know this is less important than everything else about this whole clusterfuck, but Zelensky doing as much to legitimize going without a suit as Zuck did to legitimize dropping out of college is super based. https://x.com/KermlinRussia/status/1895591133914533915

Вот это настоящая храбрость. Иногда я могу быть смелым в интернете и однажды на конференции с безопасного расстояния 30 м поругал скаммера. Но эта женщина говорит неприятную правду тем, у кого есть оружие, хотя у неё оружия нет, и если ей повредят, наказание маловероятно. Герой https://x.com/igorsushko/status/1895199041019093353

Going to prison for the rest of your life over non-violent tax offenses is absurd. The case against Roger seems very politically motivated; like with @RealRossU, there have been plenty of people and corporations who have been accused of far worse and yet faced sentences far milder. The argument that the flashlight on him is motivated by things he said (advocacy of freedom and refusal to accept legitimacy of coercive state power) seems compelling. The US tax-by-citizenship and associated exit tax regime is extreme; the former is shared by almost no other countries in the world, and the latter is on the high end of what countries do (eg. UK only charges capital gains if you return within 5 years). If the IRS did intimidate Roger's lawyers to get privileged info, that is a bad faith move; right to consult lawyers in confidence must be kept sacrosanct. Mistakes should be treated by giving an opportunity to pay back taxes, not with prosecution. @FreeRogerVer https://x.com/RealRossU/status/1892619346293231741

Reminder: there's also plenty of people who have lost huge amounts of crypto to *loss* rather than theft. Software bug, forgotten password, lost device, paper wallet burned down in LA fire, upgraded device without backing up data .... lots of ways for that to happen. Because there's no attacker to go after, victims don't have a strong need to talk about it. And often because they see no one to blame but themselves, victims will be too ashamed to talk about it. But it happens. Often. And the truly robust wallet security solutions that our ecosystem needs to build should take loss into account too. (This is a big part of why I talk about social recovery so much!)

Aya first shared the idea of transitioning from ED of @ethereumfndn to President a year ago. She has accomplished much in her seven years as executive director of the EF. As I see it, the role of an ED is to create an environment where others can shine and do their best work, and so every success of the EF - the steady execution of Ethereum hard forks, client interop workshops, Devcon, Ethereum's culture and steadfast commitment to its mission and values, and more - is in part a result of Aya's stewardship. @AyaMiyagotchi will continue supporting the EF in many of the same ways in her new role. Meanwhile, we have been working on the new EF leadership structure, and will share more news soon. Stay tuned! https://blog.ethereum.org/2025/02/25/aya-announcement

You might be surprised by the ideological leaning that it ends up having! (My hypothesis is that, like deepseek, it was trained on gpt outputs)

Ukraine is all of these, and much more. Many have worked hard and sacrificed so much for decades (arguably centuries) to bring it to where it is today. I wish the country a bright, secure, sustainable and free and independent future.

The idea that it is deeply immoral for larger countries to bully and invade smaller countries is not just a western value, it is a human value. https://ctext.org/mozi/gong-shu
