Okay, this was very thought-provoking. On one hand, I thought about it more and realized that the biggest problem with crypto today is its complete transparency. DeFi and web3 applications will never go mainstream as long as I can run a quick Arkham search and trace every single transaction you’ve ever made. It’s nonsense. Until this changes, crypto isn’t a real use case, just a social experiment. At the same time, it also shows how far we are from a solution. The guy from Zama refers to their tradeoff, which allows over 30 operators to decrypt your data, as something we should accept, pointing out that the internet is also run by about 30 companies. But then where are the truly trustless systems? In the end, we come back to the fact that the current mainstream system, which we often criticize harshly, might actually be the most optimal tradeoff for the average user. You simply need Revolut, Telegram and X and your digital social and financial life is complete, isn't it? @bankless https://open.spotify.com/episode/68gjch5XKBljxZFjrvOhD7?si=dd_kwtCzSfqtNcxWwPX8_w&pi=SIv6GMeoROiJC

I tend to use @l2beat and @growthepie a lot when deciding which chain to move my capital to. They’re a great source of knowledge for understanding the risks I’m taking when moving my capital there Are there any analytics tools similar to L2Beat and GrowThePie, but for DeFi protocols, to analyze the risks I’m taking for the APY they offer? I don’t want to trust a protocol simply because they have lindy and haven’t had a hack yet.

Let’s get real. We flex OG badges, tell ourselves origin myths, and act shocked when normies don’t rush in. Would YOU have stuck around if 4 a 2x or a 5x, with all this wallet pain, scams, and clunky UX? Nah. We stayed for more 100x dreams. Now, with TradFi in, the outsized returns shrink, but the UX is still trouble or trash for newcomers. We’re wilfully blind - expecting mass adoption while ignoring how hard it stills is. If we want the next wave, we need radical empathy, not onboarding them into the meme coin casino based on our outdated mental models.

the best thing about @rsa.eth "ETH Manifesto" is the respect-based bridge building towards Bitcoin. This is how we (all) win. Bridge Building = WAGMI Dunking on others = NGMI Do others' bag shitters realise how petty & shitty we look to new normies? https://x.com/RyanSAdams/status/1915874994514452763

Twenty One Capital formation not the same as Strategy: highly extractive and selling paper bitcoin at premium to retail. What could go wrong?

$ETH will hit 15K when TradFi VP settles 8fig RWA tx on Solana, then the chain pauses, they get fired. Then all settle on Ethereum bc you never risk getting fired by settling on the only truly censorship-resistant L1 with SC. Gas fees? Speed? 🤣 Corporate culture and incentive structures will fund Endgame scaling.

After OpenAI introduced new image-gen capabilities in ChatGPT, the “Great Ghibli-fication” swept social media—countless memes and photos reimagined in Studio Ghibli’s iconic style. The viral joy also sparked an ethical question: are these reproductions copyright infringements? ~~ Analysis by @wmp.eth ~~ Legally speaking, it's still a gray area. There is a better way: build a new marketplace for ideas. read more 👇 https://www.bankless.com/read/the-great-ghibli-fication-ai-art
