@ethereumfndn researchers @dankrad and @adietrichs join @TrustlessState and @MikeIppolito_ to discuss @ethereum's identity crisis—and how it’s turning the ship around.

They break down Ethereum’s cultural and organizational challenges, the pivot toward L1 growth, and the evolving role of the Ethereum Foundation under new leadership. The conversation covers the future of base and native rollups, L2 alignment, and why Ethereum’s unique values still matter in a competitive landscape.

1/7 WHALE is undergoing a rebranding initiative!

As one of the pioneers in the NFT and Social Token space, WHALE has not only been a starting point, but has also become a home for many who have gone on to collect and create a wide variety of world class digital assets.

By having a plan for such events (i.e. rule-based investing), you can definitely reduce your likelihood to act in a way that is against your own common-sense.

This is easier said than done, so starting small is better than not starting at all. Good luck!

I recently came across this quote: "common sense is not common action"

As someone who enjoys reading about #psychology and completed a minor in it, I always found it interesting how most people thought many psychological findings were just be "common sense" post-reveal.

This similarly plays out in #markets where people think principles like "buy low and sell high" or "don't try to catch a falling knife" are common-sense principles.

However, all investors, including myself, have fallen victim to breaking these principles at some point

As some of you know, I’m currently being sued (personally) in a putative class action lawsuit.

I can’t speak about it publicly because the litigation is ongoing but I want to share some context and ask for your help.

Extremely saddening to see everything happening in the U.S. recently.

I'm hopeful that Regenerative Finance (#ReFi) will be able to more effectively address social ESG issues in the future in addition to current focus on mainly environmental and governance issues.

Just saw a @CNBC segment about investor fraud in the metaverse as a part of their CNBC Investigates segment

Mainstream media still completely lacks a fundamental understanding of custodial wallets and were discussing about @MetaMask not refunding investors for stolen land plots

Just watched a decent #investing video by the WSJ on "buying the dip".

As I always try to emphasize, any investments can always go lower, so make sure not to put in more than you can afford to lose

On the other side, this project could prove people wrong and end up being successful. However, I don't see any reason for people to bet their livelihoods on it, or any money that they can't afford to lose, just with any other investment.

I'm not too familiar with the whole #PulseChain situation, but reading through their website, particularly the disclaimer was very disconcerting

Success is not guaranteed, and a lot of people could easily get burned with a system that essentially has "equivalent" assets without a peg.

No one wants to hear it, but assets like $BTC and $ETH should be the bulk of your crypto portfolio, since most projects will fail.

This article hits hard. All markets seem like ponzis when you look at them with a certain lens, and maybe they are.

Humans are irrational + markets can't exist without humans = markets are irrational?
