yo so EU regulators are lowkey freaking out that quantum computers might crack crypto wallets one day 👀 kinda wild to think all our keys could be toast if the tech jumps ahead. are projects even ready for this? #quantum#crypto
Been glued to the charts all day and the moves are getting wild 🚀 Feels like every hour there's a new headline shaking things up. Definitely one of those days where you can't blink or you miss something big. Who else is watching closely? #crypto
Crypto money flowing into UK politics now? Honestly not sure how I feel about a billionaire dropping record cash on Reform UK. Feels like we're entering a new era where crypto wealth reshapes political influence. Good or bad? #CryptoPolitics

Another wild day in crypto and the market still acts like it's just another Tuesday. The signals are stacking up but most people are too busy chasing memes to notice. Who else is paying attention? #Crypto
Another day, another wave of "today in crypto" recaps... but honestly, isn't the pace of this space kinda unmatched? Blink and you miss three narratives. Who else feels like they need a second brain just to keep up? #crypto
zcash is simultaneously
- the most important unfinished project in crypto (in the eyes of many ogs at least)
- the last opportunity with an infinite tam (non-sovereign store of value)
- the most compelling price action setup (breakout after decade-long distribution)
confluence like this only comes once every few years
Been thinking about this a lot lately - stETH really does feel like the closest thing we have to a "risk-free rate" in crypto. It's basically the yield curve of DeFi at this point. Underrated take imo. Agree? #Ethereum
I sold all my Bitcoin
Just realized that it's not backed by anything and has no intrinsic value
Going to buy gold with all of the proceeds
The world always moves from digital back to physical
Bitcoin has won. Global consensus is that $BTC is digital capital. The four-year cycle is dead. Price is now driven by capital flows. Bank and digital credit will determine Bitcoin’s growth trajectory. The biggest risk is bad ideas driving iatrogenic protocol changes.
The best way to build an L2 is to lean into the L1's offerings (security, censorship resistance, proofs, data avail...) more, and reduce your logic to just being a sequencer and a prover (if based, just a prover) over the core execution.
This is the combination of trust minimization and efficiency that the 2010s enterprise blockchain crew wanted, but was never able to achieve. Now, with Ethereum L2s, you can achieve it. And we've already seen successful examples of the L1's features protecting users' rights if something on the L2 goes wrong.
Every day in crypto feels like a decade compressed. We're not just trading coins, we're watching the slow rewrite of how humans agree on value. Most won't notice until it's obvious.
Are we early, or just present? #Crypto
In these five years, the Ethereum Foundation is entering a period of mild austerity, in order to be able to simultaneously meet two goals:
1. Deliver on an aggressive roadmap that ensures Ethereum's status as a performant and scalable world computer that does not compromise on robustness, sustainability and decentralization.
2. Ensures the Ethereum Foundation's own ability to sustain into the long term, and protect Ethereum's core mission and goals, including both the core blockchain layer as well as users' ability to access and use the chain with self-sovereignty, security and privacy.
To this end, my own share of the austerity is that I am personally taking on responsibilities that might in another time have been "special projects" of the EF. Specifically, we are seeking the existence of an open-source, secure and verifiable full stack of software and hardware that can protect both our personal lives and our public environments ( see https://t.co/GzgBS9sh87 ). This includes applications such as finance, communication and governance, blockchains, operating systems, secure hardware, biotech (including both personal and public health), and more. If you have seen the Vensa announcement (seeking to make open silicon a commercially viable reality at least for security-critical applications), the https://t.co/cuyU9Chs1y including recent versions with built in ZK + FHE + differential-privacy features, the air quality work, my donations to encrypted messaging apps, my own enthusiasm and use for privacy-preserving, walkaway-test-friendly and local-first software (including operating systems), then you know the general spirit of what I am planning to support.
For this reason I have just withdrawn 16,384 ETH, which will be deployed toward these goals over the next few years. I am also exploring secure decentralized staking options that will allow even more capital from staking rewards to be put toward these goals in the long term.
Ethereum itself is an indispensable part of the "full-stack openness and verifiability" vision. The Ethereum Foundation will continue with a steadfast focus on developing Ethereum, with that goal in mind. "Ethereum everywhere" is nice, but the primary priority is "Ethereum for people who need it". Not corposlop, but self-sovereignty, and the baseline infrastructure that enables cooperation without domination.
In a world where many people's default mindset is that we need to race to become a big strong bully, because otherwise the existing big strong bullies will eat you first, this is the needed alternative. It will involve much more than technology to succeed, but the technical layer is something which is in our control to make happen. The tools to ensure your, and your community's, autonomy and safety, as a basic right that belongs to everyone. Open not in a bullshit "open means everyone has the right to buy it from us and use our API for $200/month" way, but actually open, and secure and verifiable so that you know that your technology is working for you.
Another wild day in crypto and I'm honestly loving the chaos. The market never sleeps and neither do the opportunities. Smart money is quietly stacking while everyone panics over headlines.
Who else is buying the noise? 🚀 #Crypto
