where do i find the "built on ethereum" svg? cc @jack

it doesn’t get more bullish than this

time for crypto renaissance

this exact paradox has plagued our industry for far too long, leading to the rise and acceptance of the dumbest form of tokens—along with scams and fraud—while demonizing those that are transparent, useful, or genuinely benefit holders.

@milesjennings presents a great model here. If we can finally achieve clarity from regulators, nothing will hold crypto back.

still way too many products and tokens looking for a problem to solve

Base

An inevitable, unprecedented, total win for crypto.

Thank you @barmstrong and @coinbase for standing up for what’s right. https://x.com/coinbase/status/1892923603814936896

Thank you @barmstrong and @coinbase for standing up for what’s right.

SEC staff have agreed to dismiss their case against us (pending Commission approval).
But this isn’t the end.
It’s the beginning.
And if there were ever a time to build—that time is now.

Thank you to everyone who stood with us, and stood with crypto. https://t.co/gjokUZPotz

why do frames have such a large unclickable area (the image)?

commerce

credit card processing fees for merchants are ~2.9% + a fixed fee, usually $0.30 or less. debit is much more reasonable with no % fee and only a fixed fee, which is why some merchants are debit/cash only

so even if onchain payments on a cheap L2 like /base aren’t “free” since the merchant needs to off-ramp USDC with a spread of 0.5-1%, this is still a huge improvement for their payment processing

put simply: crypto is a meaningful improvement for merchants vs. legacy systems

one thing few realise, is that soon merchants won't need to offramp at all

that's the future we've been building all along

Nouns

appcon

anyone willing to give me feedback on a /nouns x /appcon proposal draft before it goes live?

If we as the Ethereum community can’t support apps built on Ethereum, how can we expect anyone else to?

Two thoughts:

1) These videos are getting better -- @jessepollak street interview game getting stronger (we see you G). It's fun watching "normal" people react to offers of crypto 😆

2) Real talk, I don't understand why crypto is better for IRL small businesses than existing payment rails. Is it mainly the fee structure? 

I've understood financial bundling (https://haseebq.com/crypto-is-financial-unbundling/) to be beneficial for businesses because it reduces risk -- though it can also hurt them via chargebacks

Genuine question and curious to learn from folks who know more about the payments space

why is crypto better for IRL small businesses than existing payment rails?

the same reasons it's better than fiat: decentralization, self-custody, borderlessness, composability, no intermediaries, speed - and of course higher margins.

fear of adoption is the vector sum of distrust in an unknown financial system and suboptimal ux. the first fades as education spreads, and we're taking care of the second :)

what are the coolest design pieces (decorative objects, furniture, physical art, etc) inspired by /nouns?

everyone knows what’s socially unacceptable—they just deceive themselves and others because of their bags.

I think this will lead to regulation, not total collapse. but it’d be far better if we established clear standards to self-regulate before it gets to that point.

this entire industry is caught in a tragedy of the commons and if we cant collectively agree on what is socially unacceptable and how to sanction that behavior, theres not gonna be an industry to build in real soon. you might have market dominance but even 100% of 0 is still 0

Memes

we need to do a much better job of preventing blatant scams and disincentivizing negative-sum games. it's good to see the long-forgotten composability finally making a comeback.

how it feels to read "composability" after a year of memecoins

this is the inevitable outcome of a decade of regulations designed to legitimize scams while stifling transparency and innovation.

the ethereum community should stop coping over grifters picking solana and instead champion the original vision of crypto and tokens — both within our industry and institutions https://x.com/samczsun/status/1890921411331432508
