Does ETH rely on charity? 😮 If MEV goes away, and fees collapse, who’s left securing Ethereum? Tom Dunleavy says it’s about aligned incentives. Austin Federa calls that charity 😇 https://unchainedcrypto.com/does-high-rev-signal-a-blockchains-strength-or-its-user-exploitation/

Love these spicy takes, whether agreed with or not. I get tired of podcasts where people always agree and/or say the uncontroversial

If the sequencer is centralized and Ethereum does all the work, does your L2 need a token? Tom Dunleavy says that most L2 tokens are fundamentally worthless 🥵 https://unchainedcrypto.com/does-high-rev-signal-a-blockchains-strength-or-its-user-exploitation/

Is REV the best way to measure blockchain value or just noise? I moderated a debate between Tom Dunleavy and Austin Federa where they discussed all things REV: 🤔 Does it reflect chain strength or inefficiency? 📊 Why Solana has higher REV than ETH 0️⃣ Whether it’s all going to zero ➕ and more! https://unchainedcrypto.com/does-high-rev-signal-a-blockchains-strength-or-its-user-exploitation/

There's a lot of really good points from Austin and @laurashin on stablecoins and cryptobanking, but I really think honing in on diversification is key. By blocking or inhibiting global stablecoins in any way, you are fundamentally restricting capital flows and reducing diversification by definition. Community banks should be forced to compete on a global internet scale for yields, or they shouldn't exist. Regulations shouldn't be used to harm consumers just because community financial services want corporate welfare by forcing unsophisticated investors to bank with them and not on public blockchains. https://youtu.be/7WoaijJUtFA?si=VllXoRxKbU9R6DOo

Bitcoin is at $100k now, but back in 2011, Bitcoin was barely worth anything. But @linda understood the value right away – and so did her parents 🇨🇳 Here’s why 👀 https://unchainedcrypto.com/linda-xie-on-how-mini-apps-are-helping-farcaster-take-on-web2-social-media/

You’ve heard it before: if you’re not paying for the product, you ARE the product. @linda, developer ecosystem lead at @farcaster, explains how Farcaster aims to flip Web2’s exploitative formula on its head by: 🗽 Giving users freedom and control 🎲 Attracting them with fun mini-apps 💡 Plus, how she knew immediately in 2011 why Bitcoin was valuable https://unchainedcrypto.com/linda-xie-on-how-mini-apps-are-helping-farcaster-take-on-web2-social-media/
