It is launch day.
And it is my birthday 🫶
SURREAL. But.. I am ready to make a statement.
Everything I stand for is put into this world I've created.
Everything I have said, I am living up to.
The STRenght of Breeze, lies in the people that support it.
While much of this space is all talk. This is all doing.
Let it be known, we can build. We can deliver. We can innovate.
so. Today. we say.
F IT. WE BREEZE.

@dutchtide (close to) 400 NFTs sold is already a huge achievement and a good amount of ETH in your pockets. Mint is not over and as everyone said, the art is amazing. You're growing your skills and I am sure this will open future opportunities for you my friend. Keep breezing, you rock !
So, auction ended.
Settled at 0.096. I came in with high expectations. Seeing the response of this space was overwhelming. It gave me hope. Only 200 sold.
The way I went about this, I reckon it was too complicated. Too much trying to recreate 2021 energy. A standard mint would have sufficed.
You see for the past years I dedicated every waking moment to my art. To the promise I made in 2021. A sort of compulsion.
On top of that, I've spent almost every dollar I made into this. Wanting to achieve the very best. The final version of this art. The way it always was meant to be.
And I do not regret this one bit. But, it does mean right now, is not easy. Because here's the thing. I know the art is good. In fact. I know many many people care deeply about it.
But it's not seen. Not enough. So I am not giving up.
I am keeping the mint open.

We still Breeze
Midnight夏季Breeze
Fragments of the lonely road
Everything has been leading to this moment.
TOMORROW
WE AWAKEN

$ETH has large ETF inflows, DATs buying, and HL whale publicly rotating billions of BTC into ETH.
Price still flat. Why?
Retail is selling:
• 100–1k ETH holders dumping
• 10k–100k whales loading fast
Supply moving from weak to strong hands. Same setup before every big run.
chat: what happens when ETH treasury orgs clear out OTC desks of all of their ETH inventory
and ETH has the lowest issuance of any major public blockchain
and there is record low ETH on exchanges
and tons of it remains staked or in DeFi?
asking for a friend (he’s long ETH)
@JasonYanowitz You talked shit about eth for months on your podcast (that I used to like) and shilled your VC bags about absolute crap. Grow up and admit that you were totally wrong. No need to play the victim, your bias was so obvious to everyone…
"Bitcoin.....we don't really know what it is, but Ethereum actually does have a practical use"
After all these years they're finally learning. Thank you @fundstrat and @ethereumJoseph for helping educate.
The stars are aligning for ETH:
⏩ $1.25bn ETF inflows over 19 straight days
⏩ Adoption as a treasury asset
⏩ Price turnaround (+100% from lows)
Institutions are noticing.
We’ve come together to tell the world why.

$SOL chain facts most people don't know 👇
• Solana operates at loss every month. Exp>Rev
• Foundation refuses to disclose SOL holdings
• Team lied to investors about circulating supply
• >50% of validators would collapse w/o Solana directly subsidizing them
• 10 Systemic failures since 2021
• Aug 7th, critical bug was "magically" patched in mins—impossible on a decentralized network where validators have to communicate
• 42% $SOL validators run by FIVE data centers
• 99% of validators run by only 137 data centers
• Costs ~800k to run 1 validator at breakeven
• Fakes TPS by including consensus messages
• Faked Billions of $ of TVL in 2022
• 50%+ Pump fun tokens are sniped in the initial block, meaning users are systematically being made exit liquidity
• ~95% of $SOL casino users verifiably rekt

Ethereum = Amazon (see @GoldmanSachs report in my linked post)
AMZN stock wasn’t profitable for over 9 years in its infancy. You could have bought in Apr 1999 at $5.25, 9 yrs later in Nov 2008 it was $1.89 (-64%).
Through strong fundamentals and global adoption they eventually became one of the top 5 largest companies in the world by marketcap.
Which blockchain continues to have the most legitimate adoption for non speculative use cases? (i.e. memecoin trading on pumpfun doesn’t count) For stablecoins and tokenized RWA? The answer is Ethereum.
Information asymmetry exists and the crypto markets are extremely inefficient (otherwise XRP/ADA/bunch of dead projects wouldn’t be trading at huge valuations). The entire industry up until recently was basically all speculation and VC pump and dumps.
ETH’s lackluster PA makes sense when you realize its founders (VB, Lubin, EF) and dev community focused on developing the infra while publicly shunning price speculation, which is the complete opposite of what VC alt L1s/BTC maxis focused on.
Don’t get psyoped by short term speculators that think a blockchain relying on ~100 data center providers with only a fraction of Ethereum’s adoption has a chance at competing as the future global settlement layer.

Fun fact: The @ethereumfndn has less than 0.26% (~270K Ξ) of the $ETH supply (120.6M). To effectively attack the chain you'd need 50%+ of all staked ETH (33.6M Ξ). The EF doesn't stake, and even if they staked it all they'd only make up 0.8% of staked ETH (270K/34M). 0.8%<50%
If you're going to FUD ETH in 2025 at least try to make it a little believable. 🤦♂️
@dotkrueger@pmacaverse This already exists on ethereum since 2018 and it’s called 0xBitcoin.
You would still have a decentralization problem the same that is inherent to Solana protocol caused by the crazy high validator requirements.
Fun Fact: It looks like 99+% of Solana validators are hosted in data centers operated by 137 providers*. With the top 5 data center providers responsible for ~40% of the validators. Looks like people really weren't lying or exaggerating when they called Solana a data center chain. I always thought it was hyperbole.😂
In the screenshots you can see as of today there were 1318 validators linked to the ASN's and you can see each provider and its respective data centers. You can also click on each data center and see which validators are being hosted there.
i.e. Latitude SH (the provider Anatoly recommends for $400/month lol) has 13 data centers, currently responsible for hosting 114 validators making up 21% of staked SOL.
If there's even anyone running a Solana validator not in a datacenter I'd guess it's between 0 to the single digits. Based on the first dashboard showing 1318 active validators tied to datacenters while SolBeach showed 1323 (perhaps there is some slight reporting discrepancy).
*When filtered by ASN, which is the most accurate metric (since ASN's are tied to a single provider, and 1 provider can have multiple data centers in different geographic locations) and is also how the Solana Foundation measures Data Center Concentration in their reports.
