I also think Hyperliquid has a decent chance of flipping solana this cycle. They can also use their mind-share to launch a pump competitor. After all, it's just a more extractive and less sophisticated casino.

Imagine you're looking to invest in one of several cab companies. They're all fast and cheap, but one says it's currently making more money. You ask how, and they tell you they steal from the customer's wallet when they aren't looking. That's their business model and why they should be valued higher. That's MEV.

As a libertarian, I'd wish for sane monetary and fiscal policies. I'm over those delusions. Sane policies can come only after a crisis, and don't last long. After the next one, they can come use our system. Or not. Fiat is no longer my problem.

Solo staking isn't just about rewards and airdrops. It's also about doing your part. Signal higher gas, merge validators. Support the network, do your part. https://pumpthegas.org/ https://launchpad.ethereum.org/en/validator-actions

Some want a new ATH, some look at the ratio, some eye 10K. I want @vitalik.eth to say we earned it.

We need to signal more broadly that validators should change the gas target to 60M. Validators - are you doing your part?

I'm going to guess that while the extra-degens trading shitcoins and BTC vs. ETH got liquidated already, in the next few days we will see how how much structural trade there really is. ETH volume is insane, higher than BTC (>7X larger MC), so there should be the liquidity to get out, for now...

I want to be able to place @cowswapfi limit orders directly on my collateral/position in AAVE. i.e. limit sell token A at price X and repay debt, or borrow-and-buy if price Y is reached. Anyone doing something like this? Anyone wants to?

Unpopular opinion: in the "centralized blockchain" spot, BNB has rightfully earned its place as #1, and I don't see a reason fro solana to dethrone it (short-term moves excluded).

Relative to its size, ETH is the second most liquid crypto market (after tether). This liquidity made a lot of people very comfortable trading against it. How do you like them apples?

Unpopular opinion: The best way to scale Ethereum is by setting explicit standards for precompiles, and any team fully checking the list can add it in the next HF. This way any validity/ZK team can get their contract onchain. Combined with https://warpcast.com/mad-scientist/0xccb110f4, they will be able to rollup txs in L1.

What's the best perp-dex on the broader Ethereum ecosystem? Is there anything at level of the late dydx v3?

🚀 Scaling Ethereum L1 via tx-level Validity Proofs We're proposing EIP-TBD, an optional extension to Ethereum's transaction model that allows txs to include consent for validity proof generation and verification within a single transaction. This approach enables: Atomic Multi-Account Updates: A single transaction can update the state of multiple EOAs and smart contracts simultaneously, provided it results in a valid proof through the consent-based proof system. Enhanced Scalability: By verifying state transitions through succinct proofs, Ethereum can process more transactions with less computational overhead, akin to the benefits seen in Layer 2 validity rollups. Optional Privacy: Users can choose to enable zero-knowledge proofs, allowing for a new privacy primitive while still maintaining the integrity and security of the network. 🔧 How It Works Transaction Structure: An EOA can opt-in by including a consentData field containing: 1/3

Hard to handle truths: 1. Ethereum doesn't have any fundamental problems. The main problem (decentralized blockchain) has been solved. All we do now is move forward with the implementation and add minor UX improvements. 2. People are upset because price is low. That's it. 3. Price is low because (a) printer doesn't brrr right now (b) bitcoin /w Saylor help is doing great, making ETH look bad (c) SOL is doing well as a casino with a low(er) MC. 4. Ethereum can run just fine with ETH at 1000$, and even 100$. 5. The choice of SoV among all suitable assets is a social choice. I still think ETH will go up. And maybe people will talk about the pivot as the reason. Correlation does not imply causation.
