Today Iโll be joining the STRATO Community ICO livestream. ๐
If youโve been following what weโre building with Book Of Ethereum and @strato_net , this is a good opportunity to learn how the auction works and why weโre excited about it๐
The idea is simple:
There is over $30 trillion worth of gold sitting around the world that is difficult to use, transfer or put to work.
STRATO is building infrastructure that brings gold onto crypto rails, making it easier to move, borrow against and use in a digital economy while keeping exposure to the asset itself.
For the ICO, participants only need:
โข Native ETH on Ethereum
โข A browser wallet such as MetaMask or Rabby,โฆ
โข A bid amount and a maximum valuation theyโre willing to buy at
The auction is designed around price discovery, make sure to be there when the bidding startsโ๏ธ
Iโll be discussing all of this live today with @vic4wong ๐
โฐ 12 PM ET / 18:00 CET -> tune in trough the post of STRATO: https://t.co/gKKCT1YDqD

Belief that disappears when the chart goes red was never belief
It was a position
If you're not willing to sit through the pain, the doubt, and the "I told you so's" - you were never really in it
Look up the word. It doesn't say "conviction until it gets uncomfortable"
somETHing worth believing in is worth bleeding for ๐ฉธ
$BOOE has been holding up remarkably well despite this massive market correction.
Makes me thinketh that once $ETH gets valued back above $2,000โ$2,500, liquidity will start flowing back into the rest of the ecosystem.
The difference is that not every project will be ready when that happens.
@Bookof_Eth has spent the last two years building a cultural layer around Ethereum, focused on community, storytelling, and creating something people genuinely want to be part of.
When attention returns, the strongest cultures tend to benefit first. ๐
Side note: Noticed a fresh wallet funded via MEXC accumulating $BOOE.
Gm brethren ๐โ
In volatile times like these, touch grass, connect to your loved ones... or double down on letting the fam know what we hold so they don't loose sight of the horizon. A beautifull garden in the future is planted and tended to now.
Stay strong in thy $BOOE'lief
Ethereum culture is coming to NYC๐๐
On June 8th, 5:30 PMโ9:00 PM, BOOE and STRATO are hosting Off-Chain Happy Hour during @ethconf .
After a full day of talks, panels and conference energy, this is where the badge comes off.
Good drinks.
Real builders.
Ethereum culture.
HardFi.
Memes.
BOOElievers.
The BOOElievers will be there bringing the meme culture of Ethereum to life, because the frontier is not only built with code. It is also built with community, stories and belief.
Weโre hosting this together with @strato_net , a HardFi platform bringing tokenized gold, silver and real world value onchain. Their upcoming ICO is around the corner, so this is also the perfect moment to meet the team, and donโt forget to sign up ๐

๐งต Something historic is about to happen for Ethereum and most people are scrolling past it.
Bitmine $BMNR will join the Russell 1000 Index on June 26th.
Sharplink $SBET will join the Russell 2000 & 3000 Indexes on June 29th.
Both are Ethereum treasury companies.
Here's why this changes everything โ
What just happened:
On May 23rd, FTSE Russell released its preliminary inclusion list for the 2026 annual reconstitution.
Bitmine made the cut for the Russell 1000 - the index tracking America's 1,000 largest public companies.
Three days later, Sharplink announced its inclusion in both the Russell 2000 and Russell 3000.
The effective dates: June 26th and June 29th, 2026.
Mark your calendars.
What are the Russell Indexes?
The Russell indexes are the backbone of passive investing:
โข Russell 1000 = Top 1,000 companies (large-cap giants)
โข Russell 2000 = Next 2,000 companies (small-cap growth)
โข Russell 3000 = All 3,000 combined
Trillions of dollars in ETFs and index funds track these benchmarks.
When a company is added, those funds MUST buy shares to match the index.
Not "might buy." MUST buy.
The numbers:
Bitmine's market cap: ~$8.5 - $11 billion
(Threshold for Russell 1000: ~$5.7 billion โ)
Bitmine's ETH holdings: 5.28 million ETH
Sharplink: One of the world's largest corporate Ether holders
Why this matters for ETH:
When index funds buy $BMNR and $SBET starting late June, they're indirectly buying exposure to Ethereum.
Your pension fund. Your 401k. Your boomer uncle's retirement portfolio.
All quietly accumulating Ethereum exposure - whether they realize it or not.
The playbook is proven.
MicroStrategy did this with Bitcoin.
Corporate treasury โ Stock appreciation โ Index inclusion โ Passive fund inflows โ More buying power โ Repeat.
Now Ethereum has its own versions.
The MSTR playbook has been forked to ETH.
The bigger picture:
This isn't just about two companies getting added to an index.
It's institutional validation that ETH belongs on corporate balance sheets - alongside cash, bonds, and gold.
June 26th and 29th, 2026.
The dates when Ethereum officially enters the passive investment flywheel.
The institutions aren't coming.
They're already here.
They just don't know it yet.
We booelieve in somETHing. ๐ท๐
This is the kind of response that makes posting worthwhile.
@IDesignGlobal took @Pontifex message about AI and humanity - and turned it into art.
"AI can either divide humanity like a new Tower of Babel - or help humanity build together."
The encyclical asks a question. This is an answer.
When technology inspires people to create, not just consume, we're building something worth preserving.
๐ต "We Built This Together - AI Belongs To All"
This is the energy. #AIForGood

People are underestimating communities like $BOOE.
Especially when the bottom is in and the narrative only keeps getting stronger.
Every day, I see new people from ethereum joining, liking, sharing and engaging.
And the person behind @Bookof_Eth is everywhere across the ethereum ecosystem, constantly providing value.
I hope you understand how much that will compound once the next wave of retail attention enters the market.
Because by then, the foundation will be even stronger.
Some people already walked through the fire once.
They watched a joke become a movement.
Watched billions appear from culture alone.
Watched the world laughโฆ then chase.
And after all of it,
the wisest ones became quieter.
No flexing.
No need for control.
No obsession with attention.
Because once youโve truly seen what conviction can create,
you stop trying to impress strangers.
You start protecting culture instead.
The strongest holders are often invisible.
Not because they lack power, but because they understand responsibility.
Ethereum was never built on noise.
It was built by believers long before the world understood what was being created.
Real Booelievers understand this instinctively.
Build slowly.
Teach quietly.
Protect the community.
Let the tourists scream.
History tends to repeat itselfโฆ
but never in the exact same form.
