To anyone saying Blockworks doesn’t support Ethereum, I would encourage you to go to Twitter, search my name, include “ETH” or “Ethereum” and see what comes up.
I would also encourage you to go back and listen to the 700+ podcasts i’ve recorded over the last four years
I think you would find a very balanced, but very pronounced tilt in favor of Ethereum.
Does that mean it’s the only project I like? Not at all.
Does that mean there has been no criticism of the architectural decisions or leadership of the protocol? No.
But I would stand by a long track record of fair and quite solid coverage.
And I am quite happy to see Ethereum doing well, although I continue to wish that the cultish social layer gets drastically reformed in the same way I hope it does for Bitcoin.
I’ve been increasingly worried that the industry that i’ve dedicated a decade to will result in bizarre social cults that i don’t feel at home in at all.
If you are screaming about Ethereum vs Solana on Twitter just know you’re giving Japanese soldier fighting 30 years after WW II vibes.
It couldn’t be clearer both of these chains will do well and the trust assumptions in each are highly similar.
The state of discourse is especially silly given the success of AI and the radical impact it’s already having on society.
It’s embarrassing but worse than that it’s uninteresting and think we’ll continue to bleed talent to AI if this is the face we put on.
Tokens will force the issue that the public markets aren’t working today.
Companies staying private longer is a bad thing for society, regulators should be focused on fixing this.
I can’t help but view the SEC’s “Project Crypto” as Ethereum coded.
TradFi is finally jumping in with both feet into tokenization and DeFi in a BIG way.
Everything Wall Street is excited about (stablecoins, private credit, tokenized MMFs) is happening on the blue chain.
