Ethereum has completely fumbled the lobbying and DC influence bag in America The lack of focus in America by the EF, mainly led by political bias, has always infuriated me I am aware of community led efforts popping up now that can fix it but we must act fast

In FOCIL breakout #2 - it's really impressive how much progress is being made both by researchers and by each of the clients. There's lots of active interest in Ethereum's censorship resistance

To me the really important thing here is creating funding structures that durably incentivize open source, open standards and security, disincentivize walled-garden mentality and extractiveness, and generally promote being a positive-sum participant toward your wider ecosystem.

One of #Ethereum's biggest strengths right now is credible neutrality. Companies like Blackrock or Deutsche Bank can use it and build on it without fear of running into a conflict of

Tommy Robinson was jailed for contempt—but it was a political figure who brought the charge. Elon Musk isn’t just moving the Overton Window; he’s shattering it. This case lays bare how deeply ideology shapes UK politics and our justice system.

If there’s one thing to keep in mind during 2025 it’s this… The market climbs a wall of worry. The climbing stops usually the same time the worrying does. It’s hard to find anyone calling a top when it’s the top.

I'm not exactly an interop god, but in Q2 2022 I did build the first eth app to connect to all major L2s simultaneously with no chain selector dropdown, providing some of the first real eth-wide seamlessness.

It's a real Christmas present to see the Solana people grabbing pitchforks to accuse somebody that traders like better as being too centralized. But it's only a Christmas present, not a Christmas miracle - it was inevitable.

Nic Carter has been a pioneer in connecting Bitcoin to energy innovation and grid sustainability. His work has significantly advanced public understanding of Bitcoin's environmental potential, and I deeply respect his contributions. However, in his argument against a Bitcoin

Deutsche Bank is building its own Ethereum Layer 2 network, and it’s only a matter of time before they introduce their own Euro-backed stablecoin on it. By joining the ranks of Coinbase, Circle, BlackRock, Samsung, and Sony, Deutsche Bank becomes the sixth major industry leader

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 cheap.

I think eventually people get burnt out on getting rugged by memes and then “utility coins” and defi have a resurgence as people reject modernity and embrace tradition without realizing it’s tradition and not a new meta they just came up with.

And what do we need to attract billions and billions of $$ in fresh TradFi capital (and to keep it onchain)? We need a maximally secure and decentralized settlement layer that is secure enough to host said capital, with minimal risk of capture. That is why we Ethereum -

Crypto is like the Soviet Union in 1989. We've gone from a regime where business is essentially illegal, to one where it's allowed now but there's still a lot of corruption and nobody knows how things work. So the biggest mobsters will wind up controlling everything. $XRP

The coolest part about crypto is that nobody cares about your age, education, or where you're from. No one gives a fuck about appealing to authority either. Build something useful that people want, educate, or entertain. No college degree required.

This should apply to all the large PoS networks. But where to draw the line is challenging. I would argue that >$10b in "trusted" stablecoins (e.g., USDC, PUSD, etc.) should be the initial hurdle. Only Ethereum meets this bar today but could argue for a lower hurdle.

In the best case, a user comes to your app with a funded wallet. There are over 27k Coinbase Smart Wallets on Base that hold ETH. One account that works across all apps. But for those without a wallet, our goal is to get them setup and back to your app as quickly as possible.

I didn’t think working at OpenAI affected my tweeting much (sama’s tweets provide a lot of cover) but in the one day I’ve been unemployed I’ve tweeted more candid/spicy takes than in the past six months. So I guess I was doing more subconscious censorship than I
