@Jediwolf Bravo. Also Ethereum shouldn’t be a Wild West. Since there is slashing mechanism for validators, why not implement similar penalty rules for other malicious behaviors—like slashing address-poisoning, freezing exploit attacks, etc.
Ethereum is a Ruler, not mine field.
@LidoFinance Hi, Lido, please stick with eth validating business only, don’t try those restaking loops or any other derivatives. You are foundation of eth ecosystem, if you fail the entire crypto industry would go down with you.
IRAN’S TOLL SYSTEM IS NOW LIVE IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ
In the last 24 hours, around 10 ships have made it through.
Here’s how the system works:
The IRGC is running an informal checkpoint inside the Strait.
1. Ships submit cargo and vessel details through intermediaries
2. If approved, they pay a fee starting at ~$1 per barrel
3.Payments are accepted in Chinese yuan or stablecoins
4. In return, ships receive a permit code, route instructions, and an escort
But here’s the bigger story:
This isn’t just about tolls.
It’s about money and power.
By accepting yuan and crypto, Iran is testing an alternative financial system right at the chokepoint that handles 20% of global oil flows.
Here's what they're aiming to do:
- China gets more global usage of the yuan
- Crypto gets a real-world use case
- The US risks losing financial leverage at the margin
@BorisJohnson Bitcoin is not a Ponzi scheme. A Ponzi requires a central operator promising returns and paying early investors with funds from later ones. Bitcoin has no issuer, no promoter, and no guaranteed return—just an open, decentralized monetary network driven by code and market demand.

When you lose the keys to digital assets, it’s like losing a pile of cash.
My Bitcoin for America Act would codify @POTUS’ executive order to effectively build a Fort Knox for Bitcoin.
@ripeth Add Kohaku privacy on Interop layer plus some AI agents for smart account, anti-phishing, scam attacks, and better UX, then we call it the golden age of Ethereum.
Ethereum introduces Ethereum Interop Layer
