The real value of @VitalikButerin coming back to CT is that dot eth tribe will follow and 1) stay in touch with the Zeitgeist 2) tell ethereum story to fellow hoomans Maybe Zuzalu was a mistake, it brought us "alignment" and moar insider-outsider dynamic in the social layer

The iggy debate isn't plebs v elites or elitism. The issue is the intellectual inconsistency of the elite. If memecoins, multisigs and vaporware didn't become kosher just through "alignment", CT's memecoin masses would probably be much kinder and responsive to the moralising

Ethereum has many problems but marketing aint one. Vitalik v Iggy is unironically bullish for both

Every crypto founder wants to autograph someone's "shirt" rn but after eclipsegate...


@eawosikaa @TrustlessState I dont think so. Bankless maybe craft narratives and memes and advocate for the line foundation takes but they can't influence the roadmap any more than you or I. Thats the research crew and the EIP/ERC process


Ethereum L1 will scale further but it will scale to support more L2s and more das capacity. Its not possible to completely change the architecture to support direct user demand. There's no rolling back the rollup centric roadmap


Vitalik's qualms about memecoins are as usual conscientious, and chain independent, but I dont understand the others for whom the same kind of shitters on base are kosher

@GwartyGwart >> you hold DeFi coins from *last* cycle If is doing a lot of work there. The number that matters is cost basis ie when I bot $UNI. If I entered at $1, I am up 10x on Uni, and I can't be up 10x on btc your perspective is that of a hodler in the same way bitcoiners hodl.


@GwartyGwart All risk return metrics are applicable (or not) from the point of view of a particular investor. It would have cost a16z 20k to buy bitcoin when they bought deso at 0.1c or smth. Guess which made more money? Ratio of maxima (ATH/ATH) has no science to it, its an arbitry metric


@GwartyGwart Against BTC is not a relevant metric except for pathological hodlers. If I buy near in 2023 at $1 and its $7.90 in 2024, its 8x vs BTC which is 3x from 2023.

Indian election results are best of both worlds. PM Modi returns to power while not getting too strong a majority. Means much needed policy continuity is sustained while opposition can also rein in far right elements of the ruling party

@dankrad @0xMert_ presumably this can be demonstrated live with external DA/DAC?


Posting lots of growth jobs or hiring lots of growth people can signal exponential growth ( in testnet ) to the token market. Real growth unfortunately requires a product someone can use or build on


Justin Drake's references to L1 "isolationism" will be solved by @0xPolygon s agglayer - using pessimistic zk proofs, it will enable safety in interop while preserving sovereignty of chains to operate and evolve independently


@aeyakovenko enforcement not needed. there will be tension between restakers and avs native token holders for who gets what but alignment will come from (a) token incentives to delegate restake to an avs (b) higher delegation signals higher native token value


@MikeIppolito_ @aeyakovenko @drakefjustin @BanklessHQ Toly's: 1. economic security is a meme if the engg/econ/cryptography isn't sound 2. TVL doesn't create value. TVL comes from use of apps/speculation Justin's: 1. technical points eg about timing games 2. single state machine may be insufficient


@Bitzy_App A truly noble mission


@sassal0x @TrustlessState Correct. Should be @AvailProject v @CelestiaOrg


10x growth hires ok but as someone who's done growth jobs in this industry, wtf are you guys growing? Discord? Telegram? Twitter? Token price? Most of yall dont even have a damn product


"economic security is meme" sounds bullish to me.


@DefiIgnas @TrustlessState Endgame is spot ETF inflows


@LeonidasNFT @rodarmor In my experience 20% of crypto founders tend to be quite sincere in their desire to build something useful


@aeyakovenko The origins of the term are in 51% attac. CIA buy a shit ton of compute and rewrite the history of corn

The paradox of crypto, once a cypherpunk ideology is that regulation chooses winners and losers and government protected monopolies can be incredibly hard to disrupt in both tech and fi Bitcoin and Ethereum have crossed that bridge. The impact is not priced in


@boratheworld You dont need anyones. Best part of brypto


For a field whose entire purpose is verifiability, crypto does lend itself to an awful range of unverifiable hypotheses such as the crypto version of "game theory"


Re blockchain research, one cool thing is that theories aren't facts. Theories are better. All facts can be checked. Not all theories can be tested


@aeyakovenko @drakefjustin @BanklessHQ theres certainly some eth dogma in some arguments but a bit of it is inevitable after 10 years of history


@StaniKulechov My tweet was originally meant as a joke but in crypto, the best jokes are straight facts


@jon_charb This is the funny part. A neutral moderator would hand the debate to Justin but go home and buy a little sol


@aeyakovenko @drakefjustin @BanklessHQ AI*crypto is currently a promising vision/meme. 20-25 yos are the AI that matter


Ethereum has a lot of hisory and tradition which often gives rise to orthodoxy and dogma. Think we need an Udi and Eric rebel pair in ethereum which is difficult because the social layer is very strong and cohesive


Inb4 link marines post why NYSE should be sold to Chainlik foundation


@boratheworld That seems like a strength to me


I think @drakefjustin as a formidable researcher may have just won the @BanklessHQ debate v @aeyakovenko the equally formidable engineer - but the long term battle will be won not on the formal foundations but on product, ux and security by whoever wins it

@wassielawyer You will be surprised but an L3 can be any laptop


@solarpunkmaxi The S is for service. Apps can stay on L2s or on services built using EL


Unpopular opinion: L2s like Linea are more secure than ethereum If a defi protocol gets exploited on L1, money is gone If its exploited on L2 and the bridge is slow enough, you can pause the sequencer and do a block reorg


@socialforging


@0xsachi Thankfully not SF vibes


@zhivkoto I got moar L2 bags than EL bags


Unpopular opinion: Eigenlayer AVSs are ethereum to a much greater degree than L2s are ethereum


@CloudSea_Pirate @tokenterminal @ethereum @bkiepuszewski >> doesn't lose anything thats true. theres no realistic way to scale L1 soon enough so its better to collect some rev share than have none - but "L2s are ethereum" is psyops.


@CCM_Brett Isnt that just how capex works?


@the_matter_labs Ethereum didn't trademark blockchain ™. ZkSync can also trademark ZKSync ™


@colludingnode Ya its psyops. You got no consensus or da of your own but baby trust me you are still sovereign


@gajeshnaik Comeon its no worse than defi


@lex_node Destroys is too binary. Regulation needs to evolve to handle human behaviour on social media. France wants to jail price KOLs and it wont be the last nation to do so


@aeyakovenko @MonetSupply @tokenterminal @ethereum High % TVL in eth means there's a much better bridge to the chain than wormhole ... layer. So we arrive at "L2-ness" as a [0,1] number as "how safe and frequently used is the bridge"?


Systems exist in three runtime states 1. It works 2. It doesn't work 3. The quantum superposition: its a mess Only 3 is real Everything that works is a mess - individual, family, blockchain, DaO, government, corporations, society... Expect a mess, nothing less


Back in '18, BBVA and ConsenSys did a study of WHY and HOW chains will be used in commerce. TL;DR was blockchains can reduce the cost of contracting by automating several commercial interactions ( ie reduce lawyers and paperwork ) but not replace the enveloping system of law


@0xMert_ @MaxResnick1 L2s are Solana with a one person discord. Solana is an L2 with an n-person discord


@MonetSupply @tokenterminal @ethereum Yes - useful metric. TVL ( native token )/ TVL ( eth )


@CloudSea_Pirate @tokenterminal @ethereum gib numbers @bkiepuszewski would know. what % of fee earned by arb sequencer was paid to eth stakers?


@0xMert_ Yes - mental illness


@tokenterminal @ethereum by this definition even mertchain scales ethereum. what % of fees was paid to eth stakers?


The only economic reason to decentralise, ever, is the fear of feds


@colludingnode this is a definition invented to satisfy cosmos guys that rollups on celestia are like sovereign cosmos appchains


A sovereign rollup is sovereign. Its a layer 1 blockchain with its own consensus and bullish token that is ethereum aligned purely socially through appropriate advisors and investors in the social layer


@Madhav_goyal_ crypto trader is a job?


The term EigenKOL means your own KOL - refers to a founder who's so good at evangelising their thing that they don't need any other KOLs to do so Stani would be a good example

@nic__carter Skill issue


These days hot and hyped tokens get old and uninteresting faster than melancholy spinsters in Jane Austen's novels


@nigeleccles Nope. Spot ETF approval means ETH is a commodity tho certain transactions e.g. fundraising and debt txns involving eth may be securities transactions

@Gunnertwin This is nothing, wait for 6k


Ethereum and Solana occupy very different accounts in my mind ETH is to be stored, staked and restaked and never sold Solana is memecoin casino chips for 10x This is why, if I were a solano ecosystem VCfluencer, I'd avoid going bonkers super all in gaga on memecoin marketing


@Gunnertwin Well now ETF is here so we can bitch about the tech without fear


@ASvanevik Looks like management team of a swiss crypto foundation

@jacobkxyz Polka KoLs next cycle?


Polkakdot is the most berlin dot eth tech I can think of. It is the absolutely no rush shipping of abstract philosophy by devs who already made it many years ago, ergo some of the ideas from Polkadot are now individually more valuable than Polkadot itself


@aeyakovenko @0xMert_ Yieldcoins > Memecoins


Memecoins are becoming financial opioids


@0xMert_ Its not malicious. If no one uses or cares about a chain, theres no reason for the media to cover what happens on there or doesn't

Ganna sue @aeyakovenko for forcing dot eths to launch extremely centralised and insecure layer2s for the sake of TPS


An ethereum rollup is sovereign if it can stop producing blocks whenever it wants to


Memecoin revolution thread writers misquoting "build something people want"


One of the worst tricks the devil ever played is convincing blockchain people that taxonomy debates are research


Maybe Solana core shouldn't make memecoins the product's entire brand but then we don't know of a crypto person who can resist what appears to be a *pumpetitive* advantage


@colludingnode there is

@IslandHunting @eawosikaa @cobie


@jwpark02 @sreeramkannan @Polymer_Labs In theory. Polymer is the thing raised a lot of money for the zkIBC idea and pivoted to some optimistic thing? Who's using it


@eawosikaa @Youclidean @cobie @0xMert_ It's not so much the social layer but the social intermediaries. Vitalik's recent blog also highlights the entrenched OG problem


sex is intersubjective. you can replace it with bEIGEN voting


From my own travels to America, I really dont believe crypto has that many votes after the events of the last cycle which are still fresh in popular media. Crypto will need to invest in election protocol at very high FDV and low float to stand up and counted


Most valid criticisms of ethereum technology no longer sound true after the ETF got approved


@sreeramkannan @jessepollak @0xPolygon Enter @_bfarmer s aggLayer


@sreeramkannan Ser but ethereum L2s from different providers are not interoperable. Unlike Cosmos, which solves for both sovereignty and interop by design, ethereum doesn't solve for interop. Empirically, its less capricious to use cosmos sdk with ibc than to align but extend culturally


@nickwh8te Yes


@avichal crypto hasn't got much vote imo but crypto has money. Bls Invest in election protocol


Just fired my personal crypto twitter lawyer and shot their dog. They had promised that they will not let Biden veto SAB 121

@colludingnode no


@seanbonner @yugalabs @cryptopunksnfts @cobie dao


We did our own trial Luna with single collateral DAI so we knew


@nickwh8te @VitalikButerin @musalbas Yes but Celestia will move in the direction of ethereum from Cosmos because shared security for "sovereign" rollups arises from the one TIA token to rule them all


Methinks @yugalabs should sell @cryptopunksnfts IP to @cobie for the sake of all the punks owners. Punks vibe is never ganna fit into the cringe of corporate america and someone much more in touch with the ethos might just restore the value punks deserve


The main use case was always an ETF


SVM is a virtual machine, EVM is a virtuous™ machine


@nickwh8te It depends - on the level of economic security. This is why @AvailProject ( disclosure: investor ) s approach will combine native protocol security with restaking to offer scalable security thats also considerably more robust through the cycle


Token solves dis


@0xMert_ @toghrulmaharram ETH guys paid for the bulk of zk research during last five years. zk rollups still remain the most in production use of all that brute force math.

@nickwh8te The effect is the same. Economic security is what it'd cost an attacker to rewrite history. Origins of the term are in 51% attack


@davidjgoosey meme


Shippers of @Hadronfc keep shippin'


I got robbed and punched quite a bit 24 hours ago. I still have a big headache and I am catching up with things. I just started reading and understanding what is happening but apparently for some people that have been writing to me I am not bullish because I didn’t buy anything


How It Started How Its Going


@AlaHaddad23 He's a builder who proposed to stormy and various others


@GwartyGwart They just want to feel something


If crypto was a real country our president would be a multisig


I wonder what Donald Trump thinks about proposal builder separation and verkle trees


@QwQiao This is the best part - dems underperformed a total clown. Maybe $CLOWN is what America needs rn


Think about it - if Trump was a crypto user back in 2016, he could have paid Stormy Daniels super discreetly in $STORMY or $TRUMP and avoided the entire legal rigmarole... Will someone tell @GwartyGwart about this use case?


@fintechjunkie @packyM Wait guys! we were supposed to buy low in order to sell high?


@bkiepuszewski @badcryptobitch @taikoxyz How about "aligned" rollup?


I am starting to think zksync went full retardio™ to get some attention back from AI to zk


@eawosikaa I think if you cant ship a type 2 prover, theres no way you can ship the rest. scroll are also working on decentralised prover and polygon have a type 1 prover folks should feel free to give credit and/ catch the bull market. my opinions are mine alone


@toghrulmaharram That is why we need the ETF so bad


@eawosikaa They didn't. @rushimanche won integrated


Exhibit A for why I have such intense allergy to ethereum alignment as a value proposition. The idea that being aligned with ethereum itself is valuable holds back not just ethereum but the entire blockchain space


@nickwh8te This is what Mert calls mental gymnastics. I prefer the term "academic fudding". Rollups on celestia have no security of transaction ordering unless they borrow economic security from 2/3 staked tia


@digitlartifacts a meta-KOL endorses product, tech and ecosystem, never token


A KOL is anyone who posts notinvestmentadvice on social media I am definitely not one yet other than eth, btc and matic


@hmalviya9 Thats why you don't


@akshaybd @solana Its always Austin's fault - rule number 1


@Austin_Federa Wen crypto bahamas?


After the near death experience of the last cycle it seems rather unwise for the @solana core team to endorse awful money people celebrities all over again but here we are


Trump is so popular on CT that we may as well call it the digital confederacy


Valuation and value are entirely orthogonal concepts


We need one chain per VC, angel, KOL, advisor and podcaster so about 69420


@jackzampolin Selkis forked it


So if Biden wins we are supposed to sell everything?


@aeyakovenko Any reason why Banana rhymes with Solana?


@functi0nZer0 Its betfair


@Polymarket This would have real predictive power if US elections were held using 1 token 1 vote


blockchain devs interpreting US law never goes well. First it was securities law, then it was the BSA, then the first amendment and now its trademark/IP law


Trump is ethereum aligned therefore he simply can not be guilty. The man is practically an optimistic rollup - there's no fraud proof


@QwQiao sure, tho it may or may not be representative of the other 95% of the population


The only way Trump's conviction can he upheld is if the jury used universal intersubjective work tokens to convict Trump


@QwQiao In the population that responds to a poll by Ansem...


@twobitidiot Move to Dubai


I am become KOL, a leader of opinions


Why did Donald Trump think he could get away with what he did? He's a candidate for POTUS, not a solidity dev or smth


@DangerWillRobin @Concordia @lmrankhan @alliancedao If you had made it to stanford you'd have your own ai themed token today


@GwartyGwart Gwarty you are not a researcher


Eth will go to 10k but let @BarrySilbert sell eth to us first for 3k


@Yazanator @SmokeyTheBera Smonkey is my favorite people


The SEC is processing forms for the spot ethereum ETF faster than ethereum can process transactions


Bruh dont make me apply for a job at ethereum foundation. Jus gib berachain grant


@seunlanlege @anuragarjun said that


Even has more women than an average crypto conference


@ayyyeandy Bruh ya ganna be bankless of modularity and advisoor to every layer


All my homies are raising hilariously large funding rounds and I am jus writing smol to medium checks


@hotpot_dao Sol, aptos, binglayer


@hotpot_dao Punching big bags


Feeling a little cypherpunk today. Might fk around and trademark cryptography


@dimahledba @TrustlessState @gluk64 Does anyone have a list of advisors to/ investors in zksync? Maybe they can give zksync some good advice


@aeyakovenko under is an unsigned integer so Sol would be undersquaredog


@0xRickyW @jon_charb Must be top 0.1% of the brypto IQ curve


@0xRodney @sid_onchain @sandeepnailwal @SmokeyTheBera Smonkey knows wher to go


hey Sam ser can you trademark ai  tryna trademark zk is max retar dio


@Nogoodtwts fking big4s ruined us


@Madhav_goyal_ @paulg @inversebrah Good for YC


@Madhav_goyal_ @paulg @inversebrah bruh its sam altman. do you know a rich crypto founder who's doing only one job? he was told to choose


Every blockchain guy I ever worked with


@sriramk @aarthir @srinathr155 Jai Sriram


@0xkenjiii @ricburton @paulg how do you think the inventor of uniswap knows?


@Sureshsinghn @paulg no shame in it, everyone will get their share


@paulg Same thing. He didn't leave till you asked him to


@CataniaNathan where is the tech in iggy?


Screenshot for the day wen Bera is the 69th EVM with an old and familiar token


@CataniaNathan ser i am definitely not in crypto to test the boundaries of law. i am here for gud tech and gud tokens


@CataniaNathan You forgot to hashtag notlegaladvice. They are a factor in doj v tornado. BTW, its also important to find lawyers and consultants with high legal risk appetite


Solana, the baby girl name has climbed 170 ranks last year. I implore the German diaspora worldwide to name their babies Eigen


@tarunchitra @naruto11eth @gauntlet_xyz Tarun's angels would be a nice onchain math network


@tarunchitra @naruto11eth @gauntlet_xyz are you simpling for andrew wiles?


@CataniaNathan ... and collecting the fees


If you got into ether in size before 2017, its quite likely that the main purpose of your crypto project is for you to have a wonderful time as a nerd, rather than build a product of any value at any reasonable pace


The thing memecoins seem to be democratising is not culture but scams and rugs but then that was entirely expected


Has @gauntlet_xyz audited the US presidential candidates for risk and written a paper about it?


Re the success of pump dot fun, if we study the top 100 most successful crypto founders of the last 15 years, extreme legal and regulatory risk appetite is a common factor that really stands out. Its almost as if knowledge of the law is a disability


The president of the united states should be elected using token voting by a16z's protocol governance delegates


@haydenzadams This is the Biden fee switch


Is Caitlyn Jenner now a member of the social layer?


akshually crypto twitter has really normalized NOT going to prison for financial crimes


Eth guys watching cosmos people do tokenomics

@VitalikButerin Great article - but what is Metis?


@colludingnode @IanSNorden @eawosikaa and you clearly have a bias against "memecoin" ya regan's drug war has gone very wrong


@colludingnode @IanSNorden @eawosikaa quite a splendid contradiction to argue for a narcotics seller but against memecoin sellers but then this matter is subjective not objective


pump dot fun will replace the federal reserve


@tarunchitra He's at Robot Ventures


@IanSNorden @colludingnode @eawosikaa Most of my understanding of Ross's life and times is from Kingpin, the book


@sobylife Bullmarket things


@colludingnode @eawosikaa Yes but Ross wasnt fighting against the drug war. He was fighting for "govt shouldn't decide what you put in your body". Thats ofc his choice, the consequences are not his choice


@SmokeyTheBera Sounds like a layer 2 to me


@toghrulmaharram 1WK ram ser


@_kaitoai correct. big accounts that write threads suggesting buy or sell/bullish or bearish


@_kaitoai no


@_kaitoai How much of this is attributable to known professional KOLs?


Shitposter crypto > Consumer Crypto


@PeterDiamandis Human values and ethics are not universal, best you can do is train the models on your/your community's values and ethics


I dont understand the term, "consumer crypto". What are the other kinds? researcher crypto? producer crypto? investor crypto? scam and vaporware crypto?


@Mnemomeme @tsarnick I am not sure. Maybe a lawyer familiar w product liability in software can answer


@Takuiten orthogonal


@jackzampolin It's neither good nor bad. Values of the collective determining individual choice is not cypherpunk. In that sense bitcoin is far more cypherpunk than ethereum


A terrible day for userless blockchain research


@akshaybd You need to make a Solana, Solana song


Most people associate cypherpunk with noble intent when in fact cypherpunk is a libertarian ideology. Ross Ulbricht, the drug dealer was a cypherpunk. Racist memecoins, celebrity scams and paid dating onchain are unfortunately far more cypherpunk than gud boi alignment nonsense


@mdudas If I pivot, I pivot to AIgenlayer


@mdudas unironically


AI KOLs are a lot more fun than crypto KOLs


@tsarnick Its not tho. Who goes to Jail when a model is mistrained, misused


When will @_kaitoai implement KOL activation detection? My biological LLM does it


Unlike the Jenner thing, the Iggy thing looks a little inorganic because of Solana KOL VC activation


@cburniske Then it will be a bigger _________ than 22


Ethereum immediately needs to hire Bankless twins as advisors for 0.2% of FDV so that they can stop coming up with price reducing narratives


The main function of a blockchain is to recursively produce more blockchains and tokens in a fibonacci series with a rare application also arising due to mutation


@QwQiao Not enough US retail is back yet for celebs to rug so we oke


"TIA is the next SOL" activation Study KOL activation


CT feels like an entire Celestia KOL group chat on tg just got activated


for the avoidance of doubt, I don't mean $AI


If you are in your 20s and unencumbered, there's just no reason to not be working in AI rn. It'd be like not working on internet technologies when I was in my 20s ie more or less retarded


crypto founders that stop tweeting 2-3x a wk because they are busy building aren't crypto founders those are mere tech founders


People are midcurving ethereum so hard Whats the narrative? BRUH! NUMBER GO UP IS THE NARRATIVE


Solana is the new ethereum Ethereum is the new Solana


@0xMert_ Only possible in Solana


@RyanWatkins_ @blockworksres @AvailProject mainnet will trigger this revival


Not going to make it to Austin sadly but then all the gud tokens will come to Brussels anyway

One of life's great mysteries in the crypto industry is the sheer number of angel investments founders are able to make even before launching a token


@aeyakovenko Using metamask?


Wen BD guys argue about tech w devs


The last truly full time worker I met in blockchain was in 2019 and that was in nocoiner/enterprise blockchain In crypto, everyone has at least three jobs - the actual job, investor, advisor if not four or five... like airdrop farmer, memecoin trader etc etc


@hotpot_dao wen mega etf


@rachinkalakheti @cedro_finance does it solve what i need or are you shilling in bio


@Arthur_0x Michael Saylor


Does $JENNER Sahil now count as one of the Indian origin tech CEOs?


All this talk of AI agents onchain and no one has shipped a decent bot to continuously scan dexscreener and social, and trade hot memecoins 24-7


@hotpot_dao putting your labor or capital at risk for honest work in a fair and open market is not grift tho. selling vaporware or KOLing to dump on retail is


At this rate, Saylor will be an advisor to Eigenlayer by June


We are witnessing splendid SOL/ETH mean reversion downwards and ETH/BTC mean reversion upwards


Look no other blockchain/coin is going to get an ETF for at least two years. Solano is being smart by dominating the market for WTF. Thats what L2s need to be going after


Whats the mandatory minimum punishment for secret solana sympathisers in ethereum? Asking for a friend


Celebs like Jenner will get the whole industry fkd by rugging normies and getting politicians excited Has anyone heard about NFTs from Gary Vaynerchuk lately


@ylecun @elonmusk @bneiluj @how_many_roads_ Were any of these generated using an LLM?


When you ask crypto founders why they haven't shipped anything

All my censorship resistance homies want to ban memecoins


160 IQ Geometry guys moving to venture partner for another fund is zk proof that we have reached zk bottom and ai is the new zk If you are into sum check, pivot to backward propagation ( NOW ! )


@ayyyeandy need to deploy infinity dollars undeployed from last year and raise next fund


Methinks large crypto funds are pushing pre launch valuations so high to destroy angels and KOLs once and for all Yah bro, did you miss hypecoin at $1b? Nah bro, I got in at 2b


@mdudas Use of non ETF chains or coins is unauthorised. Come register with us


@Blockanalia no. it was aligned and democratised - it was an ico


@0xMert_ Packing for Ansem's angels huh


@QwQiao ser, all its telling is memecoins


Having meditated a fair bit, I find it quite conceivable that a simple recursive mechanism like 'attention' when repeated in layers gives rise to another incredibly complex self referential phenomenon we call consciousness


@0xSisyphus Akshually it aint much. 5m must be just lawyers given that its GGs favorite projet. L1/L2s can spend upto 10x as much


@eleusys_ @DefiIgnas token was prolly never needed anyway

@DefiIgnas For every ethereum there's 99999 deathereum

@0xrinegade Second cycle now


Every time I have met a dude hyped about a first cycle thing, the guy turns out quite rekt few mo later Last cycle was metaverse, nfts and web3 gaming, this cycle is ai, runes, ordinals... Real money is made on things that survive into a second cycle - BTC, ETH, xrp, matic, SOL


Looks like the first production use case at the intersection of crypto and ai wasn't preventing deepfakes but launching them


Boeing can make it up for risking my life by giving me a nice airdrop for the million miles flown


@AutismCapital Help. I haven't written production code in ten years.


@aeyakovenko @0xMert_ Since you dont't have an ETF, you can switch off your blockchain now.


folks be like, crypto will prevent ai deepfakes. Bruh maybe prevent fake coins first


A thousand Merts and Ansems can't get you an ETF. That takes balding tradfi millenials and lawyers


Now that ethereum has an ETF, we can safely shut down all other blockchains

I finally got around to running llama2 on my mac. Why on the lord's beautiful earth would I stick a crypto token into this?


@TheStalwart that applies collectively, not individually


Solana has failed by not getting its own ETF


@IAmNickDodson @starkandlime @GwartyGwart @udiWertheimer @bergealex4 @david_seroy @gakonst @ercwl I agree with the design philosophy but it stands in stark contrast to the reality that most of eth and almost all of l2s run almost entirely in the cloud


@IAmNickDodson @starkandlime @GwartyGwart @udiWertheimer @bergealex4 @david_seroy @gakonst @ercwl They already do use servers in data centers. That assessment of Solana is also a very eth mythology view


@starkandlime @IAmNickDodson @GwartyGwart @udiWertheimer @bergealex4 @david_seroy @gakonst @ercwl yah tradfi dont care about eth mythology. DYDX have a lot of "crypto-institutional" counterparties trading perps on there tho goldman won't be one because of small total market size and regulatory compliance reasons ( nothing to do with economic security/decentralisation )


$FRIEND is the biggest sign that its time to stop signing angel checks over $100m FDV


@IAmNickDodson @GwartyGwart @udiWertheimer @bergealex4 @david_seroy @starkandlime @gakonst @ercwl this is why eth has a training wheels framework. you cant start from the end but you also shouldn't be a multisig


@GwartyGwart @udiWertheimer @bergealex4 @david_seroy @starkandlime @gakonst @ercwl


@GwartyGwart @udiWertheimer @bergealex4 @david_seroy @starkandlime @gakonst @ercwl most zk rollups and arbitrum are rollups

@sassal0x And our guy @evan_van_ness will buy...?


@0xidanlevin lets see. theres a bit of bad incentives here. infra makes bigger tokens. woolier the idea, bigger the token. apps on the other hand can make profit and equity value


Another thing I find quite intriguing is that 80% of the convo in Gen AI is now about end user/enterprise apps whereas 90% of the convo in crypto*ai is still about infrastructure and models - not so different from the rest of crypto ie


@devonf it is what it is. algo have nothing else going on so


@tsarnick @jdkanani said the same thing


@0xMert_ 8 billion ansem's angels


AI agents are already transacting on aptos


@eawosikaa @colludingnode Ya just number. Banks hab the social layer in DC to do anything else


@_0xNinja_ Ya its designed to reduce risk day to day and blow up every few years. Trading floors are degen, larry fink is old by design


@eawosikaa Vitalik is the best. There's no second best


@eawosikaa @0x_rsc Its true and I aint takin sides but I think money and law will be stronger forces in shaping eth now than last wk. ETH always had some pragmatic Wall St. DNA w folks like Joe who made it possible for idealists like angry Peter to come this far, and the tension is highly enjoyable


@eawosikaa @colludingnode Unlike the tech industry, tradfi wont get involved in the social layer of eth. Tradfi will simply vote w moneys


Senator Selkis wen? @twobitidiot


@_0xNinja_ forever. tradfi is old ( risk minimising ) by design


@_0xNinja_ old bald men sign the checks in tradfi


@eawosikaa nice social experiment ahead. number go up vs code go up


@mdudas @iamDCinvestor evm is 69 different tokens


With the ETF approved, ETH is now critical infrastructure. To reduce risk to retail's billions that are about to get rolled into ETH, eth should be ossfified *much* faster. The long complicated roadmap with lots of risky changes is less attractive to tradfi than BTC thats frozen


@cam_perrault She's scared

Ansem's angels should have been deployed on @EclipseFND s SVM so that Neel could test a consent based solution


Ansem's angels is a consent based dating solution for lonely men otherwise gathering microplastics in in web3?


If layer2s are the same as sharding then the execution layer is the same as the consensus layer?


@0xMert_ Yes tho USDC on any chain (incl Sol) is minted by a (quasi) bank and backed by dollars held in (centralised) banks.

Not gonna judge Ansem's angels because people who need crypto most are sex workers but If I started Yoda's Angels, it'd be an angel investing syndicate or a crypto venture fund

I miss the time when @zhusu took the punks floor to valhalla now we need @yugalabs to partner with eigenlayer and @vaneck_us and trigger an ETF or restaking narrative - the two bullish things going on on our tradfi/b2b/yield/research chain


@joemccann approved by the crypto twitter exchange commission


@neon___glow Your val is not val. 1b for the right meme rn


BITCOIN CASH has regulatory clarity


@akshaybd these days you can in secondary


working in crypto for too long can give a person a false understanding of the world that marketing/narrative is everything. its much better to start your career in a real job working on a product that people use and pay for


@rleshner @lesH First you have to buy one eth for $10,000


Beware of educators who educate you to buy or sell


If we gonna get mostly undressed crypto men to fight each other @gabrielhaines v @nic__carter would be entertaining


If you have made it in crypto, pivot to AI

Is there a legit/scam/vaporware ratings agency for crypto projects that raise venture capital?


Its quite an emotional moment in the crypto industry when a project pitch includes a live product demo...


@0xMert_ It is adoption of the token


@decryptmedia A majority execution client bug can partition it I think tho @drjasper_eth would know


@TrustlessState @nic__carter Get well soon bro. We got the ETF anyway. No need to fight now.


When @EricBalchunas says ETH ETF flows will be only 15% of BTC ETF flows


LINK ETF is not unthinkable given the tradfi army that now works for Sergey - but next cycle


@joonian tick boxes but change nothing


@rargulati Finternet


Want a Blackrock spot ETF with the ticker MYBAGS Wen?


@GwartyGwart Actually it was Polygon legal and advocacy sending their best @RebeccaRettig1 and @0xMarcB are two of the very best policy minds in the industry


@knveth @bryan_johnson


@koeppelmann Can we arrange it such that LSDs are securities but LSTs arent


@gaborgurbacs All that sounds perfectly reasonable and accurate with no bearing on the subsequent regulatory status of ETH over the years


If anything is a next cycle opportunity, I think a third coin ( other than BTC or ETH ) ETF is the next cycle opportunity. CME futures, correlation analysis, considerable amounts of operational and legal work on decentralisation and advocacy etc etc


The ETF hopium is a phenomenal incentive for labs-es and foundation-es to stop larping and start relinquishing significant influence on blockchain networks and tokens. I'd personally be very disappointed if FIT21 or similar allow coin companies to reg-arbitrage this incentive


A critical life skill is to delete your innermost thoughts from twitter


@panekkkk Starting line is CME futures. Before that its hopium


@Timmy0xM Its not just sol. More a matter of size of the opportunity. If suits see legal bux, suits wont be denied


@panekkkk You could argue that ETH in 2018 was more or less where Sol is today but in 2024, ETH is arguably far more decentralised. That means far less influenced by a small number of individual tokenholders and corporate/nonprofit entities


@jbrukh Still too much retail PTSD from last cycle


BTC ETF gets approved: BTC maxis think its the last one ETH ETF gets approved: ETH maxis think its the last one for years Yall really haven't worked with the suits of wall street - and it shows


@Timmy0xM It depends. call me after you read @soubhik_deb s papers


@jbrukh Not even that. Andrej Karpathy says is best - no System2 in LLMs yet


I don't know who needs to know this but universal intersubjective work tokens are the ultimate ETH beta


$800/eth in 2 days and grown men be like...


@mdudas deny it attention, even hate


IS THE MERGE PRICED IN YET?


As a newly minted KOL I think there's a free $1000 for the taking in each bushel of ether over a maximum of 3 months and a minimum of 3 days


Interns run our society


no need to make ethereum better now. we safu for 2 years, just r&d and alignment lfg

@cmsholdings monads?


@0xHushky @BanklessHQ I will


Update: SEC commissioners are voting on the ETH ETF decision using universal intersubjective work tokens


If the ETH spot ETF gets approved we won't need users, or even researchers for that matter


If the ETH spot ETF is approved, I will say really nice things about the @BanklessHQ podcast


Ok I will bite. What is @Algorand and why does it still exist?


re FIT21 panic, the crypto industry occasionally thinks it wants regulatory clarity in the same way that young kids sometimes think they should want broccoli then broccoli shows up


If you fud my bags...


@0xlstern in life ser


I did say...


Ethereum doing 3900 token price per second (TPS) today wao


@Taran_ss Is there a product?


@PratikKala @NTmoney Most likely we will see market weighted flows. The main wrinkle is no staking


@mdudas @frankdegods migrated back to Sol so that ETH can have an ETF


Logging out of twitter changed my life ... for two hours


I miss living in the world where bags didn't drive our brains but there's no going back


@PratikKala @NTmoney Thats not how the process works and no one should learn economics or investing from bitcoin maxi podcasts. Pension funds are asset allocators. Some of the funds PFs allocate to will have a crypto allocation. Some of that will be in btc and some of that will be in eth. Thassit.


Look, lets face it. Most blockchains wont have any users. Its a fkin power law on the internet. So if you dont have a decentralisation and ETF strategy for your blockchain coin, you need better lawyers not devs. Weird things are happening in DC. Will you be there to get lucky?


@ylecun @JThomasBurgess Most entrepreneurs are using LLMs to build products for end customers, not build models. Your advise makes sense for a small section of cutting edge AI researchers


@0xsachi My love language is logging out from twitter


@ivangbi_ Bro young KOL @gajeshnaik is outperforming you


@alexpiHQ Not investor/advisor so no


If you are rocking a PFP from a Blockchain without its own ETF, plz don't @ me or share your opinion on my wall. I don't care what you have to say. Reality is you need to Work harder, move out of your moms basement, stack ETF coins, buy a few real PFPs then share your opinion.


The restaked ethereum ETF will melt faces


E T F I N B I O


I remain very entertained by the idea of coin companies self reporting as decentralised. Pump dot fun should add this feature asap


@gregosuri Such a nice bittensor subnet that Nvidia


Taiko doing it exactly right by launching a token before the product they pitched LFG


If Anataly makes me a 0.2% advisor, I will put in a good word for him with the ETF authorities


@santiagoroel The bill looks the converse. Its quite a bit more likely that under CFTC, tradfi will become the operating system of crypto


@lex_node Its a critical political win nevertheless. Even if crypto exists in a tradfi form now, at least it will exist


One more step towards tradfi takeover but it was inevitable


@JSeyff @Brunopenandes13 @joemccann @CNBC Go get him @0xMert_


@JSeyff @joemccann @CNBC


@H_Abdallah__ wen i am made advisor to Toly


I think the next five spot ETFs after ethereum will be MATIC, Eigen, Avail, Lens and Monad (basically mybags)


@Austin_Federa 1) What


@Austin_Federa Their job was much easier. Founder bailed, no ICO, no foundation, no labs. ETH pulled off the big one


I demand Ms Pelosi be appointed the next advisor to Eigenlayer ( and Ethereum )


Prohibition has failed in America, again


Do Bankless frens know that FIT21 means @Austin_Federa can self report Solano as sufficiently decentralised and get the ETF that took us ConsenSys fellas 69420 person years of lawyering to get?


@pythianism Essentially embedded leverage ie violent price moves in both directions


@intern Agree, but not (1). Those who have a product should 100% talk about product from their main, founder and KOL accounts. That said, how you talk about product is important. Whats in it for the user, researcher, investor, farmer is whats important, not how amazing you think it is


@HashCurveKris @Polymarket no


@FSCDems @SECGov Which intern is this now?


@massdotmoney big if true


Trump's @Polymarket odds will be higher than his real odds because Polymarket users are crypto users and in many cases not even voters


One Eigenlayer advisor is actually adding value


Interns are running our society


This is a big idea. Pay attention


Ok so if Fit21 passes we can we unlock universal intersubjective work tokens immediately?


Students of history know that the United States has a great tradition of walking to the edge of the precipice before going turbo


At this point the SEC can replace chair Gensler with ChatGPT. This would be a killer app at the intersection of AI and Crypto


@NTmoney Auspicious figure


I have recently become an investor in @nodekitorg. This position is anticipated to result in tokens worth a large number of dollars over the next four years


@PratikKala @NTmoney It will. Thats a feature, not bug


@glabuz you can skip the 'wearing suits'


@0xMert_ Wrong social layer detected. Abort immediately


KOLs is a much broader set than just shitposters. Anyone with a sizeable online following incl VCs, angels, EF researchers, podcasters, founders and even scammers are KOLs


@mdudas Bruh yall need 69 more lawyers to match ethereum in 2018


Does FIT 21 mean that the CFTC gets oversight of perps on dexes and cexes?


Wat new hype or gud infra token ideas emerged from @dba_crypto research day?


@0xairtx @mdudas Just poking my solfren Mike. No fud


Itd be lame to assume that wall street wont try to get a few more ETFs done by the end of next year Wen suits smell money, suits will not be denied


You know that the ETH spot ETF is not priced in till $4800 ie last ATH right?


@hstyagi @hosseeb @DoveyWan @tarunchitra Is the diff statistically significant given the small population of prof founders?


It appears Mr @EricBalchunas is continuing to make highly irregular anti ethereum statements, most recently on the @laurashin podcast such as "ETH ETF inflows will be 10% of BTC ETF inflows" cc: @iamDCinvestor


If a multisig is aligned, its a rollup ™


If you are still building on an alt L1 instead of ethereum, please be informed that your smart contract platform is not authorised by the Federal Government Cease and desist immediately


@iamDCinvestor Agree. 300+ headcount doesn't seem like its going in that direction tho


@ecent18 @dwr @farcaster_xyz users ™


Looks like @dwr raised $150m for @farcaster_xyz without the use of popular venture memes like zk, modular, ai or depin. Huge respect for old fashioned silicon valley work


The decentralised and credibly neutral solution to incentivising ethereum foundation staff is not protocol guild, alignment rounds or advisories. It is to not have an ethereum foundation at all


If ethereum spot ETFs are not allowed to stake their eth, maybe ethereum should support our primary source of pump and switch back to proof of work


@0xMert_ Solana is not approved by the US government


@0xkenzi She will now. Someone needs to address the risks of LLMs


Unused male organs are collecting trash


The power of bags


@TrustlessState The approval ser. Not done till its done


Scarlett Johansson recently became an advisor to the OpenAI foundation. She feels the community deserves transparency so here is an extended disclosure :) 1) The advisorship comes with significant equity which could easily be worth more than the value of all her other assets.


Only after $70k/$3.8k these started


If you are into web3, pivot to crypto


Nancy Pelosi would be the perfect advisoor to so many crypto projects...


Kinda cool that @AvailProject airdrop will land in an uber bullish market


Social layer alignment advisories are a @cosmos feature refined and scaled by ethereum


Few know about the Serbian leader who got the ethereum ETF approved


@Aniirban19 Ya trump did this by fomoing dems


I am delighted to report that during the last 24 hours, ethereum has already won, again


@mdudas This is a copy of metamask


@mdudas At a minimum its unauthorised. Cease and desist


@ayyyeandy developing on other L1s will be unauthorised


Once the ETH ETF is approved, Ethereum will be the only smart contract platform approved by the US Government


I dont want to hear anything bad about @Sagaxyz__. I got a gud airdrop


In the future AI agents will quote tweet Vitalik


@0xMarcB @nightpolygon Ser have you recently decided to become an Advisor to night foundation?


Alignment won't align itself


@zengjiajun_eth @VitalikButerin @0xPolygon Agg layer is cross garden. Anyone can opt in anytime, dont need to align w anyone's superchain/hyperchain/cdk framework


I'd prefer if @sama partnered with Boston Dynamics to copy Scarlett Johansson. Also, Don Jon, not Her is the right movie


I think now all of us eth people can chill and do user free research till Toly's ETF gets in the queue


@j6sp5r People spend too much effort getting social layer KoLs to endorse their thing than building products users will use. This is why competition from Solana and other chains is the best thing that has happened to ethereum in a while


@VitalikButerin @zengjiajun_eth That sounds like @0xPolygon s agglayer


I privately disclose all my conflicts to my therapist, lawyer and priest because then they can't disclose my disclosures to anyone else


Blockchain theory says theres no need for us to disclose anything because everything will be transparently onchain *eventually*


I will criticise @SmokeyTheBera's proof of liquidity mechanism on @therollupco podcast as a systemic risk to Cosmos if he refuses to make me a 0.2% advisor to Bhaigenlayer


Who's working on a woke version of @MadLads? I'd like to sell mine before


Indians have arranged marriage. Pivot to India


With so many ace researchers onboard now, @eigenlayer can start a whole new US university


I have recently decided to become an ETF advisor to the SEC on two conditions. Approve it and LFG


Not selling my punk. Yuga can go .... ..........


I wonder if wokeness destroyed the Roman empire


@CryptoGarga You gotta protect the brand tho. No need to call other things punks from the punks handle


Correct. Idgaf who else eg Yuga calls their things punks. Calling smth a picasso don't make it so


@TrustlessState You should host her on the show


Mr. Larry Fink recently became an advisor to ethereum. He will receive ETH worth several billion dollars over the next 3 years


@udiWertheimer @iamDCinvestor Yess!!


@udiWertheimer @iamDCinvestor I do think bullberg twins were a little too sure of their call. what we need now is a death of eth party Udi


need a bullish mental health break today


We are not done till Ansem and Mert start shilling ETH


@JSeyff @EricBalchunas @vaneck_us @NateGeraci Cope Harder, as they say


Bankless sounds like a good podcast rn


Starting to look like a time to delet twitter and buy a couple of suits again


A compliance trained trad if Grayscale wants ETF


@DefiIgnas Stop worrying and start living


@JSeyff Still not too late to join cointelegraph as intern

Tokenised conflict of interest $COI  Who's building this?


If Binance is responding to the low float high FDV meta, their retail user base must be complaining loudly about buying lots of inverse hyperbola coins. Binance has always been very sensitive to the source of their success - retail apes


Even if ETH ETF gets approved maybe we should prioritise user alignment over bankless/social layer alignment going forward


This is a big idea - and its why I am @fluentxyz aligned


@iamDCinvestor Now do Matic


Criticise2Advise Who is building this?


@sandyzkp Become one


Google gemini catching up w GPT 4o pretty quickly eh


Real success is becoming someone people want to align their tokens with


Ok so who are the most popular advisoors and KOL/alignment round investoors in the @solana foundation?


@HadickM Ok. What are the for and against positions?


Not sure how there's so much debate about high fdv low float. FDV is a price. Money is made by buying low selling high If retail buys higher, retail makes less. Unless we really want to over complicate the discussion, what even is there to argue about?


@tomwalpo Some truth to that but it is referenced in many legal docs and litigation


@aeyakovenko @0xMert_ If its aligned its robust (eg degen chain)™


@tomwalpo The whole thing is moot. Fundraising is a free market between buyers of capital and suppliers of capital. There's no moral obligation on investors to provide capital to A if they think they can generate better returns by investing in B. Both do need to act in good faith thats all


We love our layers in this industry but once the investor layer and trader layer are onto shiny new things, all other layers derive value from having a user layer which comes from having a builder layer


@0xMert_ this is true contingent on the underlying chain being robust


Eigenlayer & Drake tbh pretty kosher. He's a top researcher, can contribute a lot to Eigen and protect ETH We haven't even started talking about how multisigs become rollups by "aligning" the right folks, undermining the credibility of the rollup centric roadmap in the process


@0xrinegade @cobie Relax. I was at Devcon 1 but I worked on nocoiner (enterprise) ethereum for four years


this table by @cobie says a lot


Same as IPOs but without the disclosures


@kobigurk @drakefjustin


Why does EF have 300 people?


@kobigurk @drakefjustin Bro, I got too much compliance training at tradfi Sachs, Barcap and PwC. Crypto people got zero


Re @drakefjustin ser's welcome post, given the potential conflicts of interest, all of us, not just EF staff but KOLs, podcasters, VCs and founders should proactively disclose advisorships or preferential (discount to market ) investments we make in our individual capacity


Facts


@bneiluj This is bullish for tokens. The man literally sells hope in bottles


@Hadronfc @abhixh Why are they searching in India tho


@j6sp5r Inconclusive without a somewhat accurate Venn Diagram


Boeing could get all the whistleblowers to fly a 737 max together


Airdrops in nature


What a good tweet, it’ll look better from my account


@0xdoug I am inclined to think most retail folks pay for tokens with dollars rather than eth so eth is not the correct numeraire for this analysis


@ikuberan @jdkanani no just here for work


Look who I found in SF


@tomwalpo Maybe "Read, Write, Own", the book can convince you of the glory of tokens


@tomwalpo Netscape did not have access to nondilutive capital in the form of crypto tokens and had a very fast path to their IPO. Going by a16zs years of bullishness on crypto tokens, Marc Andreessen would have probably launched a token if he could have


@tomwalpo In our common space, most blockchains, zk projects eg zkVMs and L2s


@tomwalpo I think I support not investing in a crypto company that isn't sure about launching a token unless the investors see a clear path to revenue at scale. Investors have to produce returns for LPs


@CreativeJack Sure


The great book of Lisan Al Gaib, Chris Ibn Dixon, ferociously defending web3 from complete AI-lation in the Bay area


@tomwalpo Yes, then founders who don't want to launch a token should say no and refuse the money. Otherwise its effectively a rug


@tomwalpo The promise of a token launch is implicit in raising from crypto VC. Those who don't want to launch a token should raise from non crypto/trad VC


My geiger counter has detected gud ai tokens  at the decentralised AI mixer in Menlo Park

@DaftaryNeel AI predicted this


There must be a way to corrupt the Solano social layer and foundation with investories and advisories Who's building this?


Memecoins wouldn't be down today tbh if memecoin founders had aligned the right advisors


@bneiluj Unironically


We aint free thinkers. We are bag thinkers


@bneiluj Meh. Their token is just a long string of text and not listed anywhere


@Evan_ss6 @0xMert_ @VitalikButerin Open discourse facility is available only within our social layer. Mert bhai is part of a different social layer tho he is showing up on some eth cap tables now


Why cant we onboard @cobie as an advisor to ethereum for 10 bips?


@zmanian RIP


@cobie @Loopifyyy @VitalikButerin Its not clear what if anything the EF can do about people advising or preferential/KOL investing in rollups or any other projects. However people charging social layer rent for "proof of alignment" creates perceived unfairness and distracts from product/tech towards "aligning"


The biggest advantage crypto investors have over founders is that investors don't have to align with no brain killer other than their bets - and that too within reason. Building a startup irl is much more complicated and you gotta drink all the right kool ades and alignments


Only Cosmos, Bitcoin and Ethereum have this


@0xsuperpat Not jus men iwo


@mraltantutar Isnt that just Jensen


The 180 degree narrative pivot on CT when eth pumps hard is going to be super entertaining


He was the first crypto KOL in history


@NareshKx If I do a podcast and speak my mind out loud, I will stop getting even the deals I get


KOLs with their own podcast are doing 30-100 "investments" a year I did only 12 in the last 12 months and only one was a KOL round The universe has spoken


@0xidanlevin All that is true. I think we are now starting to learn and we didn't fully anticipate earlier, is what handing off users to other chains ( rollups ) with their own tokens might mean for ethereum. DAPP development is not on L1/L2/L3, its still on EVM. Anyhow, the ETF solves this


You can either read or be a KOL, but not both


@moo9000 He said high FDV is real but float has always been low


@moo9000 Lets see. Bitcoin still stronk, eth can be Bitcoin Plus. A much faster evm is an improvement. L2s are eth or not eth depending on who you ask


@moo9000 eth l2s is a fertile space tbh. megaeth, movement, fuel, cartesi, risc0, miden... l1 is obv ossifying and cosmosifying


@jacobkxyz Yall hoomans were always mo into fighting than lovin


@keoneHD @_jhunsaker @hanriiiver Goldman KOLumni stronk


@dwr That is an S-tier insight though one wonders if eth's usage has moved to other chains including L2s with their own tokens and the "L2s are eth" story is a debatable narrative that requires attention


@dwr Yes, and there is substantial path dependence in getting from the short term to the long term


@ayyyeandy 50 is S tier KOL - with podcast


@dwr Yes but theres a very long list of cryptoassets other than BTC also that derive value solely form public attention and awareness


@GwartyGwart @0xMert_ *a* reason sir


@GwartyGwart no the main reason is that retail, tradfi and whales who buy our coins havent gone there


@GwartyGwart a... reason


@j6sp5r CSys delivered outsized value to ethereum. The rest is toppings. Yes eth will be fine


@j6sp5r Very early. We had ethereum labs (CSys) to do the rest soon after


@joonian some were some were not


@joonian i and all my tokens are unamerican even if the teams are american


@joonian the rules are wrong


Why high FDV meta: 1. Many funds have too much undeployed cash to deploy before they can raise the next fund 2. Pushing val up allows funds to report ROIC without distributing anything to LPs 3. High FDV last round was seen as guarrantee of high fdv token launch and listing


@0xMert_ We can 100% train it to create "a toxic environment"


GPT based AI agent trained on farcaster casts, lens posts and 10 years of dot eth tweets, blogs, podcasts, EIPs, ERCs and EF docs to make a giga @0xMert_ of ethereum Who's building this?


Who will be the young new merts of ethereum?


@iamDCinvestor maybe farcaster frens can dual post via @yup_io


@nic__carter dot com data centers were prolly bigger


@wmougayar cosmos is the lab. also cardano is peer reviewed and super unique. dont be unique be useful


What AI enabled tool does @0xMert_ use for screenshot storage, archival and search?


If crypto markets existed when Unix was being built by Kernighan & co, each of the shells like ksh would be valued at $1B+, each command would be $100m+ and the vi editor would go for $694.20m


Ethereum has a very bad case of cosmos infection. Last cycle the ethereum discourse was human usable apps like uniswap and aave. This cycle all the ethereum devs and investors speak only PhD eg based sequencer, shared sequencer, intercontinental rollup... and one else gives a fk


Ethereum's problem isn't negative sentiment. Its the lack of positive sentiment ie people who would evangelise in media and social in human understandable english rather than intersubjective modular mechanism design ultrasound english


Checked the price of ETH on farcaster. Its $10,000

@daddysether @eawosikaa @JTremback Cult is fine. Being a very successful internet tribe/online cult is a big part of eth's success that all the others want to emulate. Just that there's information in eth/btc and sol/eth how the market is pricing eth's rollup centric narrative which cant be ignored


@daddysether @eawosikaa @JTremback Of course


@daddysether @eawosikaa @JTremback The roadmap is a roadmap. It can evolve with the times. The ETF tho... is real


@daddysether @eawosikaa @JTremback Guys we can stop fighting after the ETF is approved this month


Hotpot is an institution


@daddysether Very long term only works for monopolies. ETH has competition from multiple layer1s ( and co-opetition w layer 2s ). Decentralisation at L1 is desirable via dappnode-s but not the current state of play w most validators running in the cloud


@based16z Yes that is a worrying possibility


Its come to my attention recently that the best place to waste ones time is not w fellow retards on crypto twitter but w future attractive people in the gym


@daddysether Yes solana will need rollups and eth will need to scale L1

@eawosikaa @MarRampy yes but there are limits and its a bit of a meme because decentralisation is a legal defense, not a natural fact. a great example of this phenom is eth frens assuming that our multisig L2s are also decentralised, and gary goonsler challenging eth's "sufficient decentralisation"

This is because we don't have enough tech yet to do much other than casino. The tech thats currently there is bad, pretty bad


@solgwarty their thesis is that telegram has users so ton can find distribution for casino social and payments but also for dogs wif hat


@solgwarty we are also building infra for ppl to dog wif hat at scale


One diff between crypto and AI is that crypto is in the research and infra phase whereas AI has moved into the scalable end user/enterprise application space this "ai cycle" ergo decentralisation may not be where the intersect is. gaming or ai applied to crypto is more like it

@0xMert_ @eawosikaa No one can be unbiased about purple coins. Don't ask me how I know


@keoneHD Fair shout. I will confess to some punditry/research bias


CT: crypto is a tool for freedom  Also CT: but not for freedom of blockworks to publish a non populist opinion


@NyxNoLimits Its not. Solana is an invention but research pundits need formal comforts


S (fundamental) tier: Satoshi, Vitalik, Gavin, Jae, Sreeram, Mustafa - max 0.1% of founders A (builder) tier: Toly, Illia, Sandeep, Stani, Hayden, Keone, Anurag and others - max 4.9% of founders Z (token) tier: Charles Hoskinson, Brad Garlinghouse, Everyone else under various…


@avedarave_ All our bets are decades long


The money cult of lisan el dog wif hat


So much of the world is busy protecting a very large matrix of floating point numbers...


Ppl overemphasise narrative and underemphasise consistency between narrative and reality If you promise a dog wif hat like Cardano, no one expects a thing and life is gucci However, you promise a killer app dev platform and ppl cant dev a thing on your thing, you got a problem


@thetemerian Which they do


Money is just a shared delusion. The important thing is to delude others with your own delusion


@0xsachi Yes bringing the average down


EIP 6942: All L2 foundations automatically sell 20% of their own token for ETH over four years This is "ossification rent" for shared security


@oliverbeige Thats the exhaust


This region is the highest IQ place known to man. Its even more interesting than Tarun's basement on Wall Street on the east coast


@twobitidiot Bro time to get elected


@ronitA380 @FT @RensManu @1bdasgupta Dubai is cool, Snobs can go to blackpool

@Punk9277 @_kaitoai Bruh you gotta predict signal


@0xWenMoon Why'd a non AI woman risk being there


Bitcoin foundation is dumping on us


@blockhiro End loneliness and unintentional celibacy in Web3


Its kinda super weird wen most of the hopes of your coin ie ETH depend on one 70 yr old bald guy ie Gensler letting another 70 yr old bald guy ie Fink wrap it into a tradfi wrapper ie ETF


Got myself a tokenless AI coach from IIT + Ivy League PhD gang I will never financially recover from this


If eth doesn't scale the L1, eth will become atom+ but we arent doing that


AI girlfriend with Neuralink for sensory sims Who's building this?


Ramen  Work  Shitpost  Fruits  Sleep  Repeat


AI country weekend tour learnings: 1. Discourse in crypto and media is all about models but most valley devs have moved onto apps 2. OpenAI's moat isn't really defensible. Open source models will be good enough for most apps 3. Most work on models is tuning models for apps


@SolBeachBum @eawosikaa @aeyakovenko @BanklessHQ Yes but it explains a small part of the price and is effectively a proxy for activity


@reffo_tse 1/3 of current category leader on gecko


@whoisparul Yes. That meta started post tia moon and its lasted three mo so far


I am hearing some very worrying news from a fren in Palo Alto Some people here are doing open source AI models without a blockchain or coin. Why would Boden allow this?


Its more like "token marketing manager"


@whoisparul Actually top 20 coins in the biz started low. This is because you want a broad distribution and retail buy pressure. 100-200 funds can't sustain a 3 trillion market


@BrianSeong99 @0xPolygonMiden delet this alfaleak


PRODUCT != ENGG ENGG != GROWTH GROWTH != OPS OPS !=LEGAL Long term, no tech biz can make it without all five, and thats the order of service


@SolBeachBum @eawosikaa @aeyakovenko @BanklessHQ Equities guys of tradfi jus refuse to learn - unless tokens are allowed to be income generating securities, fees wont be where the price will come from. Keep trying tho


@BrianSeong99 @0xPolygonMiden Miden not EVM, miden better VM


@cmsholdings Ser fun in dubai requires burgerland flows


@mdudas This is how I fud @SmokeyTheBera s coin because I missed it


@0xMert_ Mispriced up or down?


@mdudas I have heard a lot of ... things in my life but


Founders finally starting to see the value of not raising or launching at godforsaken maximum possible valuation is an early bull signal for 2025.


We can solve America using DaO governance. One token, one vote


Linea guys tryna claim they have activity


@colludingnode Says the guy with a blockchain without smart contracts


Thing is its hard to point at anything other than pumping stonks where Boden has outperformed Tremp Immigration, law enforcement, gun control, women's rights, war on drugs, inflation, war spending, Ukraine - its been a front to back mess Lets at least win crypto


Stay super loser frens. Spending time on god, health, happiness and relationships can cost you the next 100x dogcoin, airdrop or allo


Couldn't sleep after watching the video about the dangers of Polygon's edge layer


Availambo  airdrop will be the least nonsense airdrop of the szn since TIA. No big VC drama about sybils, no latham watkins locked token, no Justin sun allo just straight up no burgerland complications goodness, something for all major L2 users, like ol' times
