The news reports on Binance’s “relocation package” are misleading, trying to make a negative spin on UAE again. It’s nothing new. Binance has always offered flexible work locations to employees, with reasonable relocation packages based on situation (as I mentioned in my book).
I personally think UAE remains one of the safest countries in the world, far safer than many touristy countries in the world.
In fact, I might do a book signing event in Dubai soon. Who wants to come?
LATEST: 🇯🇵 Japan has approved an amendment to its Financial Instruments and Exchange Act that would classify crypto as a financial instrument, ban insider trading and require annual issuer disclosures.

Privacy roadmap
Stronger L1, more innovative L2s
Strong return to cypherpunk / counterparty risk minimization

Usefulness outside of traditional crypto (CROPS / open source AI)
More Gen Z people involved
Multiple new organizations pushing Ethereum
Vitalik war mode go go go
Interop across Ethereum

Institutional presence
ETH Hackathons getting packed again
Kohaku is a open source wallet SDK that makes wallets competitive again
Trillion dollar security initiative is live to make the network even more economically viable for the trust placed on it
100% uptime AKA More uptime than AWS or anything despite being fully decentralized
EF staking ETH
EF going DeFipunk
OGs coming out of retirement and young people deciding to dedicate their best years to work for the EF
and many, many more things.
The bullishness must be earned by shipping, not by narratives, and what’s great is that the shipping has outpaced the narrative.
The latter is now primed to catch on.
