[Ingwar Perowanowitsch @Perowinger94]

Ohne Worte: Der Autofahrer, der vor 2 Jahren in Berlin mit einem 585 PS starken Mercedes AMG mit 98 km/h über die Hermannstraße raste, dabei einen Fußgänger tötete und Fahrerflucht beging, wurde jetzt vom Amtsgericht einfach zu einer lächerlichen Bewährungsstrafe von 22 Monaten und Führerscheinentzug von 2 Jahren und 6 Monaten verurteilt. In der Schweiz oder in Dänemark säße diese Person jetzt im Knast und der Führerschein wäre 10 Jahre oder länger weg. In Deutschland kommt man mit blauem Auge davon. Niemand kann mir erzählen, dass das gerecht ist und niemand kann mir erklären, dass man E-Scooter problemlos aus „Sicherheitsgründen“ auf 20 km/h drosseln kann, Autos aber wegen „Freiheit“ und so leider nicht. Diese 🇩🇪 Autojustiz ist einfach nur noch unerträglich!

@MsMelChen The solution is to rally around open source.

That's the only way to compete with a superpower technology network effect if you are not a superpower yourself. And it's the only way to bring the rest of the world along on the same team as you.

Open source.

There's a form of secular creationism that we might call Malicious Design: The idea that the limitations imposed by nature are actually the product of human systems designed to exploit or otherwise harm the masses. 🧵

If you ignore Bitcoin and "Ethereum killers", crypto is actually something you wouldn't mind to be associated with.

Gitcoin 3.0 is mapping the Funding Infrastructure of the Next Internet

The funding infrastructure of the next internet is being built right now.

It is powered by AI, crowdfunding, stablecoins, and open source software. These forces are reshaping how people coordinate, build, and create value online. They are also breaking the legacy systems that fund innovation.

Venture capital optimizes for upside, not public goods. Grants are slow, brittle, and local. Governments cannot keep up with global, permissionless networks or open innovation. At the same time, AI is exploding the supply of builders and ideas.

The result is a growing gap between what can be built and what will be funded.

A new funding stack is emerging. Capital allocation is becoming programmable. Funding decisions are moving on-chain. Evaluation is continuous rather than episodic. AI assists with discovery, review, and signal extraction. Stablecoins enable instant, global payouts. Open source makes outputs composable by default.

This is not theoretical. Quadratic funding, retroactive funding, bounties, streaming grants, dependancy funding, and coalition-based funding are already live.

But the terrain is fragmented. Builders don’t know where to go. Funders don’t know what works. Signals are noisy, incentives are misaligned, and experiments are isolated.

What’s missing is a map.

Gitcoin 3.0 is positioning itself as a cartographer of this new funding landscape, and a basecamp for its builders.

By embracing the pluralism of onchain crowdfunding providers, Gitcoin 3.0 catalogues real-world funding experiments and turns hard-earned lessons into shared knowledge. It builds a schelling point for builders and funders, where they can discover and evolve open, composable allocation primitives together. And it creates a common social space and mental model so builders, funders, organizations, protocols, and AI agents can coordinate more effectively.

The next internet will not be limited by a lack of ideas. It will be limited by how well we fund them.

The opportunity is to crowdfund the next internet, together.

Ich bin dafür, dass Aufdach-PV-Anlagen für die Einspeisung keine feste EEG-Vergütung mehr erhalten.

ABER:

- Eigenverbrauch muss weiterhin steuer- und abgabenfrei sein.
- Überschusseinspeisung zum Börsenstrompreis muss _OHNE AUFWAND_ für den Betreiber möglich sein

You do not have to agree with me on which applications are and are not corposlop to use Ethereum.

You do not have to agree with me on what trust assumptions are acceptable in which situations to use Ethereum.

You do not have to agree with me on political topics to use Ethereum.

You do not have to agree with my views on defi, decentralized social or privacy-preserving payments to use Ethereum.

You do not have to agree with my views on AI to use Ethereum.

You do not have to agree with my view that Berlin has the best food in Europe, suits and ties should be expunged from our culture, and YYYY-MM-DD is the best date format to use Ethereum.

And you do not have to agree with me on any one of those above things to agree with me on any other.

I do not claim to represent the whole Ethereum ecosystem. Ethereum is a decentralized protocol. The whole concept of "permissionlessness" and "censorship resistance" is that you are free to use Ethereum in whatever way you want, without caring about what I think, or even what anyone else in the Ethereum Foundation or even any Ethereum client developer thinks.

But on the flipside, if I say that your application is corposlop, I am not "censoring" you. This has always been the flip side of the grand bargain of free speech: I am not free to shut you down, but I am free to criticize you, much as you are free to criticize me.

In fact, it is *necessary* that we do this. The modern world does not call out for pretend neutrality, where a person puts on a suit and claims to be equally open to all perspectives from all of humanity and not have their own opinions. Neutrality is for protocols (like HTTP, like Bitcoin, like Ethereum), and neutrality within some scope is for some institutions. The modern world calls out for the courage to clearly state one's principles - including stating principles by pointing to negative examples, that is by criticizing the things in the world that are incompatible with one's principles - and work with those with aligned goals to build the metaverse within which those principles are taken as a baseline.

Such things inherently cannot be constrained to just the layer of the protocol: any principle you have will naturally lead to conclusions, not just about how the protocol should be built, but also what should be built upon it. Furthermore, any such principle will have consequences that go beyond technology, and reach into specific questions within the larger social world. This should not be avoided. Valuing something like "freedom", and then acting as though it has consequences on technology choices, but is completely separate from everything else about our lives, is not pragmatic - it is hollow.

The inevitable converse of this is that (i) a decentralized protocol must not be viewed as belonging to only one metaverse, and (ii) the borders of a metaverse are fuzzy: it is possible, and indeed it is the normal case, to align with any one on some axes and not on other axes.

Linux is a technology of user empowerment and freedom, Linux is also the base layer of a lot of the world's corposlop. It's almost certainly the base layer of many things that I think are good, and you think are bad, and vice versa. Hence, if you care about Linux because you care about user empowerment and freedom, it is not enough to just build the kernel, we must also build a full-stack ecosystem compatible with those values, and explicitly accept that this is not the only way that people will use Linux, but it is one way that must be built and must be available. Ethereum is similar.

Milady.

[vitalik.eth @VitalikButerin]

The attacks on Europe I've seen here the last couple of days, including from people I've generally considered interesting and sophisticated, have been getting unhinged...

I get that EU has problems - GDPR clickthroughs are dumb, Chat Control is awful, they need to be less bureaucratic and supportive toward entrepreneurs, its kindness toward Ukraine often doesn't extend well to Gaza or Sudan or other places, people saying mean things about criminals getting longer sentences than the criminals is just crazy - but the apocalyptic attitude about the issues, evoking imagery of barbarians pillaging Rome etc, seems really over the top.

It feels more like a coordinated attempt to delegitimize than constructive criticism.

(I don't believe the line that "the target is not Europe, it's the EU": I've seen many instances of London specifically being targeted in the hate session, so no, much of it is an attack on Europe)

It just does not match my experience from spending an average of two months every year there for the last decade.

If x402 takes off it will completely change the business model of the internet.

Attention was the currency of the social internet.

Microtransactions will be the currency of the AI internet.

AIs consuming AI services using internet native micro payments.
