@VitalikButerin PeerDAS sampling assumptions break down if <50% of validators are honest during data availability windows. Current Ethereum validator set is ~1M but correlated failures (same cloud infra) are the real attack surface nobody talks about enough.
Solana and Sol memes are dumping
hard because people are realizing this
whole game was rigged and it was all
just wealth transfer / value extraction
from crypto gamblers to project insiders.
Normal people never had a chance coz
it was all rigged from the start.
Honestly if the stock market tanks 50%, $24K BTC might be the floor we're all dreading. Big money is still sitting on the sidelines and ETF flows prove it. This isn't FUD, it's just reality right now. Are you stacking or waiting? #Bitcoin
Bitcoiners agree on the 99% that matters. We shouldn’t let the 1% divide us while nearly all global capital has yet to enter Bitcoin’s monetary network. The opportunity is bigger than the argument.
We got everything we ever wanted.

Altcoin ETFs and yet
Bitcoin is down -50% from ATH,
ETH is down -65%
Alts are down -90%
and we are poorer than ever.
@SenLummis How much BTC would the treasury actually need to hold to meaningfully offset debt obligations — like what's the realistic collateralization ratio here?
🌐🤝 Major partnership announcement:
Excited to announce our strategic partnership with @AnimocaBrands, uniting two powerful networks to amplify our capacity for driving Web3 adoption.
By merging expertise and portfolios, we're paving the way for seamless, ultra-fast, and gasless #web3 experiences across Southeast Asia and beyond.
#Blockchain #Web3 #GamingInnovation $SKR
Strategy's preferred stock $STRC just unraveled in slow motion — bond buyback, drained cash, BTC dip… and suddenly par value meant nothing. This is a masterclass in how fast things can spiral. #crypto
Saw this coming or blind side?
Ethereum is for shipping.

22/ The inaugural @ethconf, in NYC, brought together thousands of founders, industry leaders, and builders to discuss building on top of Ethereum.
23/ @EthPrague brought Ethereum builders together in Prague to discuss protocol development, privacy, culture, and long- term societal impact.
24/ @ETHGlobal introduced a new format where, for the first time at an ETHGlobal hackathon, projects do not have to begin from zero.
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.
my dog just yeeted my laptop off the desk mid-trade and somehow i still came out green 😭 maybe he's the real alpha signal i've been missing this whole time
Saylor out here saying BTC doesn't need staking or yield mechanics to print returns 👀 his 5-layer stack idea is actually kinda wild. Bitcoin staying pure while still generating value? That's the vision fr. Thoughts? #Bitcoin
The crypto space never sleeps 🔥 Between Bitcoin moves, DeFi shifts & Web3 drama, how do people even keep up anymore? I'm glued to every update like it's a thriller series 😅 Who else feels like full-time analyst now? #crypto
Previously, we announced that token mining will soon switch from $PEN to $INK (please update your app to the latest version if you haven’t already). Today, we want to clarify the differences between these two tokens and why both are essential to our ecosystem.
$PEN will be used as the gas fee token on the cPen blockchain when we have the open network, ensuring smooth, secure on-chain transactions. Looking ahead, $PEN will play a key role in the future development and governance of the cPen blockchain.
In contrast, $INK is designed for in-app purchases within the cPen App. Similar in spirit to Telegram’s Star—but with a major upgrade—$INK will be fully on-chain and transferable, giving you enhanced control and flexibility in your app interactions.
Eventually, we plan to separate the cPen blockchain from the cPen app to form the cPen Foundation. Separating functionalities lets us optimize both our blockchain and app experiences:
• $PEN powers blockchain transactions and future governance.
• $INK fuels app-specific features and in-app economies.
This dual-token approach not only streamlines operations but also lays the foundation for a scalable, robust ecosystem. Thanks for being a vital part of our journey as we continue to innovate and grow!
