@wallstreetbets its a insane lore, ive been in WSB on Reddit since the super early stages and all that got me into crypto after full porting my Teenage salary into GME/AMC and roundtripping a 20x on stocks (was lifechanging money for me back then but im a born diamond hand)

I just couldn’t fade any lore connected to Roaring Kitty and time back then

Finally a great lore to bagwork hard af solana:yxqegfnoem8mMuRSqu8ouD8qsw32GpuMMXgTZGwpump

Chapter 2 (Part 1/2)

Why is the Ether Machine a long-term relevant & self developing narrative?

First, one must understand the core value of this narrative - Ethereum.

The world is rapidly evolving into a more technological and digital form, this is undeniable and it cannot be stopped. For this to fully come to reality, technological platforms must exist to allow for this transition and new way of being. In this past decade, blockchain technology has proven to be one of the most important, if not the most, technological platforms to serve as support for this change. Its potential to solve longstanding problems in trust, security and efficiency across multiple industries appears to be unlimited.

Why will the Ethereum network be the main blockchain to allow for this transition?

Despite most people being aware about cryptocurrency, its adoption and blockchain technology adoption are still in their infancy phases. However, there are already some clear stats that indicate how is this adoption going to evolve:

- Ethereum is up and running for 10 years now with 100% uptime;
- Ethereum has 9x the economic activity as the largest next blockchain;
- 80% of Real World Assets on blockchain are on Ethereum;
- Over 60% of stablecoins are on Ethereum;
- More than 50% of Dapps are built on Ethereum.

These stats alone are enough to understand that Ethereum will most likely experience gravity law dynamics, just like Microsoft did with operating systems or Google with search engines, where it will absorb the vast majority of activity. As of today, there already exist dozens of blockchains, but Ethereum clearly stands out among all the options.

What are the most compelling use cases for Ethereum in the next few years?

Two massive use cases standout - tokenization of all assets, primed for institutions, and stablecoin payments mass adoption, primed for the everyday people.

As it was said before, the world is moving fast to a more digital form and real world assets are no exception. Tokenization of assets has become a phrase of the day for this past year and having them tokenized on blockchain is a better and more efficient way to have them registered and to trade them. When the CEO of Blackrock (Larry Fink) - the largest investment fund in the world - says that "we believe we're just at the beginning of tokenization of all assets, from real estate to equity to bonds." you understand that this is inbound to happen. Let’s go back to numbers, as of today it is estimated to be roughly $400 trillions in real estate, $145 trillions in the global bond market and $130 trillions in the global stocks market, making a total of $675 trillions in just these 3 types of assets. Even just a tiny fraction of 1% of these assets being tokenized on blockchain represents almost 2x the total crypto market cap with today’s values. What better blockchain than the most used, most developed and most secure to absorb this tokenization?

When it comes to stablecoin payments mass adoption, this is set to be one of the biggest use cases for cryptocurrency. Payments with stablecoins are faster, cheaper and a more efficient way of doing it, while not relying on centralized third-parties to intermediate this process, in other words the reason why Bitcoin was originally created. Cryptocurrency is having a faster adoption rate than the Internet itself, and the day you can go to the supermarket and pay your groceries with stablecoins is approaching fast as well. The biggest payment services companies, like Visa and Mastercard, have already started to integrate crypto payments in their services. As stated before, over 60% of stablecoins are on Ethereum, the 2 major stablecoins - USDT and USDC - are built on Ethereum, totalizing $250 billions in market cap and $200 billions in daily volume, as of today. It is easy to understand that Ethereum will be the powerhouse of the massification of stablecoin payments as well.

On Part 2 of this chapter, we will discuss the Ether Machine's role in this narrative

[Andrejka Bernatova @Bernatova]

Had a great conversation with Tom Lee (@fundstrat) on Ethereum’s continued evolution.

Ethereum is becoming a platform for scale, powering DeFi, stablecoins and real-world asset tokenization. It shares fundamentals with energy infrastructure: capital intensity, technical sophistication and long-term investment.

That intersection between energy and digital infrastructure will define the next decade of growth.

In 2015, Andrew Keys was buying $ETH at $1.

He watched it climb to $1,200 and then crash to $80.
Most people would have sold. He didn’t.

Through the chaos, he continued to build. He helped put Ethereum on Microsoft Azure.

He launched the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance. He was early in EigenLayer.

Today, he runs @TheEtherMachine, a $3B vehicle holding 500,000 ETH.

He personally committed 150,000 ETH, worth approximately $ 750 million.

Token 2049: too many MOPs and Sociopaths, not nearly enough Geeks and Fanatics

[Dynamix Corporation @DynamixHQ]

Giving @spac_insider the inside track: @Bernatova shared with Nicholas Clayton how we approach SPACs as operators first. We back companies that should be public, and we structure deals with discipline and alignment for long-term value. That same philosophy underpins our announced combination with @TheEtherMachine, the first Ethereum-focused SPAC Treasury deal.
