Today we ask "why are you building onchain" Tomorrow we will ask "why aren't you building onchain" Crypto unlocks global users, incentives at scale, and global payments. Soon it'll seem crazy not to leverage this system.

Ether ICO launched 10 years ago today. Happy birthday ETH, and thank you to everyone who has ever worked on this beautiful network. Amazing how much has happened in just one decade.

I’m 95% sure we’re going to build an entire consumer track at permissionless. If @blockworks can help move the conversation from infra to apps even slightly, that’s a win. Assuming we build this, who should we invite? [founders and investors but bias towards founders]

Probably the best founder lineup we've ever had for a conference. 4 months out and have confirms from founders of eigenlayer, monad, optimism, sui, opensea, arbitrum, zksync, celestia, layerzero, jito, stacks, aave, osmosis, frax, akash, synthetix, compound, and soo many more. Who are we missing? [founders only]

We got these gorgeous pickleball courts for permissionless. I think a protocol v protocol tourny is a must. - optimism v arbitrum - paradigm v a16z - solana v avalanche - polygon v zksync - wormhole v layerzero - chainlink v pyth - render v akash - aave v morpho - lens v farcaster - who else? Would be epic.

Thanks to everyone who gave us feedback on the UI/UX of our opinion pieces. 1) The "Op-Ed" section is now the "Opinion" section 2) There is now a red "Opinion" label Small updates but should help as we publish more controversial pieces.

This pod with @kylesamani and @santiagoroel is now live on Empire. We covered why MEV is the only metric that matters, how to value crypto assets, and how to think about the cost of airdrops. Great chat.

Tried sending a wire. Bank #1 is down. Bank #2 flagged the wire as an AML concern, I'm currently on an hour long call convincing them that I should be allowed to send the wire. Insanity, crypto truly does solve this.

Stripe supports crypto again! John Collison: “Crypto is finding real utility. With txn speeds increasing and costs coming down, we’re seeing crypto finally making sense as a means of exchange.” Big step forward for crypto x payments. https://blockworks.co/news/stripe-to-bring-back-crypto-payments
